Regular diet vs low residue diet after colon surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older.

This study tests whether patients can safely eat a regular diet right after colorectal surgery (surgery to remove part of the colon or rectum), rather than waiting. Researchers want to see if this speeds up recovery and improves outcomes.
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 tests whether a specific diet before colon cancer surgery can change the bacteria in your gut to help prevent the cancer from coming back or spreading. Patients who are eligible will follow the diet for a short time before their operation.
This study tests whether doing a colonoscopy (camera exam of the colon) early after surgery for low rectal cancer helps catch a serious complication called anastomotic leakage—when the surgical connection between bowel segments breaks down. Early detection might help prevent severe infections and improve outcomes.
This study tests two ways of giving back the fluid from your small intestine (ileal contents) through an enema or reinfusion before your ileostomy is closed. The goal is to see which method helps your bowel movements return to normal after rectal cancer surgery.
This study tests whether a ready-to-eat low-residue diet (a diet that leaves very little waste in your colon) helps people with IBD prepare for a colonoscopy. It may make the prep easier and more effective than standard bowel-cleansing drinks.
