Understanding symptoms after ileorectal surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study observes patients who have had a surgery connecting the small intestine to the rectum (ileorectal anastomosis) or who kept their rectum after colon surgery. Researchers want to better understand what symptoms these patients experience, which could help improve care.

This study follows people who had surgery for rectal cancer to understand long-term recovery and quality of life. You may be asked to complete questionnaires before surgery and again after the stoma is reversed, and your answers help researchers improve care.
This study compares two types of temporary stomas (ileostomy and transverse colostomy) in adults who need a protective stoma after rectal or colon surgery. It aims to find which type leads to fewer complications and better recovery.
This study is looking at how common and severe a condition called 'postoperative ileus' (temporary slowdown of the bowel) is after planned digestive tract surgeries. It will help doctors better understand and manage this complication.
This study helps doctors better understand and treat bowel control problems that can happen after rectal cancer surgery or other rectal treatments. If you've had this surgery or treatment, the study team wants to learn more about your recovery and test new ways to help.
This study looks at patient-reported outcomes—how you feel and function—after surgery for rectal cancer. It may help doctors better understand recovery and well-being after different surgical approaches and treatments.
This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the bowel after subtotal colectomy and ileostomy in people with ulcerative colitis (UC). It may help determine which surgical option works best when the rectum is calm enough to manage with topical mesalazine alone.
