Comparing two ways to create a temporary stoma after colorectal surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having surgery to remove a lower part of your colon or rectum (called low anterior resection or coloanal anastomosis).
- Your surgeon has decided you need a temporary stoma — a bag on your belly to collect stool — to protect the healing area.
- You do not already have a stoma from a previous surgery.
- You do not have severe health problems like advanced kidney failure or uncontrolled heart disease that would make the surgery too risky.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial tests whether a device called COLO-BT can be a safer, effective alternative to an ileostomy (a temporary or longer-term opening from the intestine to the skin). It’s for certain adults having a bowel connection low in the pelvis, where leak risk matters.
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 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.
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 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 a temporary stoma (a bag on the belly) can be safely avoided in some people having rectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if it's okay to skip the stoma in those with a low risk of complications.
