Filter by:In this study the investigators will evaluate the acceptability of a communication intervention for fecal ostomy surgery (CI-oSurg) to address the needs of adults who are undergoing fecal ostomy surgery. The investigators will recruit 24 patients and 4 clinicians (surgical nurses, wound ostomy nurses). At least half of patients are 65 years or older to understand the unique needs of older adults recovering from fecal ostomy surgery that might impact intervention acceptability. Questionnaires will be administered at two time-points for patient participants: upon study start and 4 weeks after exposure to the intervention.
The goal of this interventional study is to learn about the digestibility of different plant-based proteins in adults (age 18-75) with an ileostomy. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. How does the digestibility of proteins in the small intestine differ between different plant-based proteins? 2. Which proteins and amino acids are not digested or absorbed in the small intestine and are available for further metabolic processes in the large intestine? 3. How do metabolites in the collected content of the ileostomy bag differ after consuming different plant-based proteins? 4. Can the in vivo results be compared to results from existing in vitro models? Participants will consume five different protein meals (oat protein - high bioavailable, oat protein - low bioavailable, pea protein - high bioavailable, pea protein low bioavailable, protein-free meal) on five different study days in a random order. Five hours after consuming the test meals ileostomy bags will be collected and the content will be analysed to answer the above mentioned research questions.
This study focused on the alterations of gut microbiome and function during defunctioning ileostomy, and observed the effects of probiotic intervention on intestinal microbiome and function. The investigators looked forward to find the specific intestinal maladjusted flora from this work, which could provide a new scheme for the subsequent treatment of the damaged intestinal function and the reduction of the incidence of postoperative complication.
Background There are no prospective trials comparing the two main reconstructive options after colectomy for Ulcerative colitis, ileal pouch anal anastomosis and ileorectal anastomosis. An attempt on a randomized controlled trial has been made but after receiving standardized information patients insisted on choosing operation themselves. Methods Adult Ulcerative colitis patients subjected to colectomy eligible for both ileal pouch anastomosis and ileorectal anastomosis are asked to participate and after receiving standardized information the get to choose reconstructive method. Patients not declining reconstruction or not considered eligible for both methods will be followed as controls. The CRUISE study is a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center, controlled trial on satisfaction, QoL, function, and complications between ileal pouch anal anastomosis and ileorectal anastomosis. Discussion Reconstruction after colectomy is a morbidity-associated as well as a resource-intensive activity with the sole purpose of enhancing function, Quality of Life and patient satisfaction. The aim of this study is to provide the best possible information on the risks and benefits of each reconstructive treatment.
The loop ileostomy is an effective method used to bypass faecal contents and reduce the sequelae of possible anastomotic leakage. I t is most often performed after a low anterior resection indicated for lower-middle rectal cancer. A second operation is required for closure, with a morbidity of about 25%. Many studies have been completed in order to detect possible risk factors - both patient-related and surgery-related - for complications in ileostomy closure surgery. Currently, there is a lack of research studies focused on the preoperative management of these patients. Our purpose is to reduce the complication rate by optimizing the preoperative status of the distal ileum and to analyze its impact on the reduction of postoperative ileus. Main objective: To assess whether efferent loop stimulation two weeks before ileostomy closure decreases the incidence of postoperative paralytic ileus.
The purpose of this study is to asses the safety and efficacy of early stoma closure (2-3 weeks after total mesorectal excision) vs late closure (16-24 weeks after mesorectal excision).
Existing interventions including improving communication and self-care to improve readmission of patients undergoing high risk colorectal surgery involving new ileostomy formation has shown limited results. Our proposal is to deploy a wearable solution that predicts physiological perturbation with continuous remote patient monitoring and advanced machine learning algorithms which will be connected to structured, cascading, escalation pathways and care coordination involving home health nurses, colorectal and ostomy nurses, and colorectal surgeons, and has the potential to transform surgical management in the post-discharge period, where patients are the most vulnerable for readmission. This feasibility study will contribute to the understanding of post-discharge continuous remote monitoring of ileostomy patients, promote patient self-care, and has the potential of improving patient outcomes.
Our preliminary work demonstrates that there is buy-in from both patients and surgeons with regards to early ileostomy closure (EIC) for select rectal cancer patients undergoing restorative proctectomy (RP) and diverting loop ileostomy (DLI). The feedback from leaders in Europe further supports the need for a large scale randomized-controlled trial (RCT) on this subject in North America. Should the results of such a study be favourable, we believe it could support a change in practice that would be beneficial to patients and the health care system alike. Furthermore, our work will help identify which patients and practices are suitable for EIC. The goal of our project is to determine whether EIC in rectal cancer patients undergoing RP with a DLI is safe, feasible and beneficial in a North American population. Specifically, our primary objective is to compare the severity of complications between patients undergoing EIC versus traditional (late) closure. Our secondary objectives include assessing the difference in quality of life (QoL), early and late bowel function, and cost of care between these two groups.
Hernia formation at sites of ostomy closure is a common complication. The investigator believes that using evidence based hernia repair techniques as a preventive measure during closure of ostomies will reduce the incidence of hernia formation. In this trial, the investigator will pilot a novel technique of monofilament bioresorbable mesh reinforcement of the abdominal wall defects that remain after closure of an ileostomy to evaluate for safety and begin to evaluate the effectiveness compared to standard techniques.
This project aims to introduce and evaluate a novel assistive prosthetic system that helps prevent and treat nutrient and fluid loss from enterocutaneous fistulas. The device system functions simply to return the output from a fistula back into the distal limb of the intestine.
