Filter by:This research study is being conducted to study the effect of infusing your contents from your ostomy bag back into your intestine to re-train them prior to the ostomy takedown operation, which is a surgery to reverse your ostomy to put your intestine back together. Because your intestine past the ostomy hasn't seen any intestinal content for several weeks to months before the takedown operation, it is no longer used to handling the daily work of processing intestinal content and will take time to recover its normal function after surgery. We hope to speed up this process by training them before your planned surgery.
Natural Orifice Specimen Extraction Surgery (NOSES), which involves obtaining specimens from the abdominal cavity without any incisions, has attracted much attention in recent years, and it has been widely popularized in the treatment of rectal cancer because of its postoperative non-incision, advantages of less trauma, quicker recovery, and postoperative aesthetics. Anastomotic fistula is a serious complication of rectal cancer surgery. For patients at high risk of anastomotic fistula, prophylactic ileostomy is often performed intraoperatively to divert feces and protect the anastomosis. For such patients, rectal anterior resection surgery with specimen extraction via stoma (NOSES with specimen extraction via stoma) is usually performed, borrowing a prophylactic stoma incision to retrieve the specimen, and also realizing the absence of additional abdominal incision. However, this procedure is prone to stoma infection and has a high complication rate (20-40%), which limits the popularization of NOSES surgery and is an urgent clinical problem. Our center has proposed a new stoma closure method (Dumpling Suture Method), which reduces the size of the incision by folding the suture to achieve the effect of hiding the skin incision and reduce stoma infection. The study aimed to introduce the "Dumpling suture method" of protective loop ileostomy in laparoscopic anterior resection and compare this new method with the traditional method. From August 1st 2019 to August 1st 2023, 22 cases of the new procedure were completed in our center, and 30 patients with stoma closure by the traditional method were included in the same period for control purposes. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 52 patients in the study center, and the intraoperative details and postoperative outcomes of the two groups were measured.

Our center has proposed a new stoma closure method (Dumpling Suture Method), which reduces the size of the incision by folding the suture to achieve the effect of hiding the skin incision and reduce stoma infection. In our previous study, 17 cases of the new procedure were completed in our center, and 25 patients with stoma closure by the traditional method were included in the same period for control purposes. After six months of follow-up, we found that the "dumpling suture method" significantly reduced the incidence of stoma complications compared with the traditional suture method (5.8% vs. 36%), and no additional adverse effects were observed. This is a single-center, open-label, randomized, parallel-controlled clinical study planned to recruit 66 patients randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the trial and control groups. The primary endpoint is stoma complication rate at 30 days postoperatively. In this study, we aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the "dumpling suture method " compared with the traditional stoma suture in reducing postoperative stoma complications through a randomized parallel controlled clinical trial, which is of great significance for the improvement of the rectal NOSES procedure and the reduction of the incidence of stoma complications.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore whether preoperative stimulation of the distal limb of the ileostomy loop with gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) could effectively reduce the incidence of complications after ileostomy closure. Participants will be divided into two groups. One group included patients treated with stimulation of the efferent loop with GABA prior to transit reconstruction surgery; the other control group was stimulated without giving any substance. Researchers will compare incidence of complications such as postoperative ileus, diarrhea and other parameters such as time to tolerating a diet, start of the passage of flatus, start of the passage of stool, postoperative stay, etc.
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).
The Norwegian Stoma Trial is an open-label multicenter trial investigating the use of stomas, both diveriting and permanent, in the surgical treatment of rectal cancer. The objective is to compare the chosen strategy to surgical complications, health realted quality of life and length of stay.
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.
The primary objective of this study is to prospectively evaluate rate of post-operative ileus or obstruction in patients with ileostomies receiving low fiber diet vs. regular diet starting post-operative day 1. The secondary objectives of this study are to compare the 30-day and 90-day readmission rates, length of stay, rate of high stoma output or need for antidiarrheals within 90 days, nausea score, level of pain, and overall quality of life amongst the patients studied.
This is a prospective observational study on patients who undergo an ileostomy creation after implementing a hydration algorithm as routine care at Robert Packer Hospital. The Department of Surgery will be implementing a protocol to prevent dehydration for patients with high output ileostomies. Patients with high output ileostomies are at an increased risk for readmission for dehydration. By reviewing the data after applying this standardized hydration protocol, we can assess its efficacy on readmission rates and comorbidities stemming from dehydration.
Elective diverting ileostomy may reduce consequences of anastomotic failure in laparoscopic TME. Aiming to evaluate the effectiveness of elective diverting ileostomy, its impact on the incidence and clinical behavior of anastomotic leakage and the complications related to its presence and take down were analyzed.
