Healing time after stoma closure surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a special antibiotic sponge placed in the wound during stoma closure surgery to see if it helps the wound heal faster than standard care. If you're having a stoma closed, this could mean a quicker recovery.

This trial looks at how different stoma (opening in the belly) approaches affect recovery after curative rectal cancer surgery. It may help doctors choose the safest, most comfortable option for bowel function and healing after surgery.
This study checks whether gently stimulating the part of your bowel that leads to your stoma before it is closed can improve the balance of good bacteria in your gut and help your bowel tissue heal. This could make the reversal surgery more successful and lower the risk of complications.
This study looks at whether creating a temporary “protective stoma” (an opening that diverts stool) after reconnecting the bowel can reduce complications for people with severe abdominal infection from a perforated diverticulitis. It’s for adults who had surgery to reconnect their colon right away.
This trial tests whether irrigating (cleaning) the wound with a special solution before closing the ostomy site helps it heal better, compared to the usual method. If you're having a loop ileostomy reversal, you may qualify.
This trial tests a special bandage that uses a gentle electric charge to help prevent infections in surgical wounds. If you are having planned colon surgery for diverticulitis, polyps, or colon cancer, and you meet certain health requirements, you may be able to join.
