Comparing two stoma methods to prevent hernias after laparoscopic surgery
Part of Digestive system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to create a stoma (an opening in the belly for waste) during laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery. It compares two methods to see which one better prevents hernias (bulges) from forming next to the stoma.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are scheduled for a laparoscopic surgery to remove the rectum and create a stoma (called abdominoperineal resection).
- You do not have a hernia in your belly wall.
- Your surgery is not an emergency.
- You do not have severe health problems that make surgery unsafe.
- You have not had previous surgery on your lower belly that would affect the stoma site.

This trial tests whether sewing the belly lining in a special way during colostomy surgery can lower the chance of a hernia near the stoma. It may help you if you need a colostomy and are in generally good health.
This study tests a specific laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery to fix parastomal hernias — a bulge near your stoma. The goal is to repair the hernia safely and help you avoid more problems with your stoma pouch.
This trial tests a pre-shaped, funnel-like mesh placed during colostomy surgery to prevent parastomal hernias (bulging around the stoma). If you are having a permanent terminal colostomy and are in reasonably good health, this study may help reduce your risk of a hernia.
This trial is comparing two ways to place a stoma (a new opening for waste) during abdominal surgery, to see which method leads to fewer problems like leaking or skin issues.
This trial compares two types of temporary stomas (a bag on the belly to collect stool) after rectal cancer surgery. It aims to see which type—ileostomy (small intestine) or colostomy (large intestine)—works better for patients.
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.
