Skin closure methods after stoma reversal in children
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of closing the skin after a child's stoma reversal surgery to see which one heals better or looks nicer. Your child may be able to join if they meet the age and health requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 8 months and 12 years old.
- Your child is having an ileostomy or colostomy reversal (closing the opening in the belly used for waste).
- Your child should not have a condition where the stoma keeps slipping out (recurrent stoma prolapse).
- This should be the first time your child is having this reversal surgery (not a repeat procedure).
- Your child should not have chronic inflammatory diseases (like tuberculosis) or cancer-related conditions.

This trial compares two different ways to close the skin after stoma reversal surgery in children. One method uses a round, tightening stitch (like a purse string) and the other uses the traditional straight closure. The goal is to see which method leads to fewer infections and better healing.
This trial compares two ways to care for children after colostomy reversal surgery: standard care or an enhanced recovery program designed to speed up healing.
This trial studies which technique works best to close a loop ileostomy after rectal cancer surgery. It compares different closure methods to see which is safer and more effective for patients.
This study compares two approaches for preparing the bowel before reversing a colostomy (closing the opening in the belly) in children. The goal is to see if using a bowel-cleansing regimen for three days leads to fewer complications than skipping prep entirely.
This study compares a newer 'enhanced recovery' care plan to the usual care for children having their ileostomy reversed. The goal is to see which approach helps children recover faster and with less discomfort.
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.
