Resuming feeding after small bowel connection surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at the best time to start eating again after small bowel surgery. Patients are placed into groups that start feeding earlier or later, to see which helps recovery better.

This trial compares two different ways of starting to eat after emergency bowel surgery: one group begins eating earlier than usual, and the other follows the standard timing. The goal is to see which approach helps you recover faster with fewer problems.
This trial compares starting to eat right after a colon polyp removal procedure versus waiting a few hours. It may help you resume normal eating sooner after the procedure.
This study compares starting a regular diet soon after colon surgery versus a traditional clear-liquid diet. It aims to see which helps your bowel connection heal better and get you home sooner.
This trial compares starting feeding soon after surgery versus waiting longer in children who had simple appendix removal. It aims to see if early feeding helps recovery.
This trial studies whether a specific feeding approach helps babies start full tube feeding sooner after surgical closure of an enterostomy (a stoma). It may help reduce the time until your baby is fully fed through the gut.
This study compares a regular diet to a low residue diet (a diet low in fiber) after colon surgery to see if patients can eat normally without issues. It may help determine if a regular diet is safe and better for recovery.
