Comparing two stoma creation methods to prevent hernias
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests two different ways to create the opening for a stoma (an ostomy bag) during rectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if one method reduces the risk of developing a hernia at the stoma site later.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You must be scheduled for a laparoscopic (keyhole) operation to remove the rectum and anus (called abdominoperineal resection).
- You must not have had a previous hernia in your belly wall.
- Your surgery must be planned, not an emergency.
- You must not have severe health problems that make surgery unsafe.
- You must not have had lower abdominal surgery before 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 trial tests ways to improve decisions and outcomes for people having surgery for a parastomal hernia, which is a bulge near a stoma. It aims to help patients make better choices and have better results.
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 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 study compares two ways of creating a temporary stoma after surgery to remove part of the lower colon or rectum. It aims to see which method leads to fewer problems and better recovery for people who need a stoma to protect the healing area.
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.
