Filter by:This is an open-label multicenter controlled trial, including 28 centers from the Rete Oncologica (Oncological Network) of Piemonte and Valle d'Aosta in Italy (http://www.reteoncologica.it). After a curative resection for rectal cancer and temporary ileostomy, 270 patients with indication to adjuvant chemotherapy will be randomized to early (before starting adjuvant treatment) or late (after adjuvant treatment completion) stoma closure. Primary end point will the compliance to adjuvant therapy. Secondary endpoint will include quality of life and bowel function evaluation, postoperative morbidity, chemotherapy toxicity, oncological outcomes and costs comparison.
Preventing complications and readmission after ostomy surgery will decrease the cost of healthcare, improve patient safety, reduce the cost of durable medical equipment required by ostomates, ensure continued specialized care is available, and potentially improve both short and long-term quality of life (QOL) for patients by reducing morbidity and mortality associated with ostomy surgery. The purpose of this study is to measure the effectiveness of patient centered interventions/care pathways and to determine the impact on healthcare utilization, 30-day hospital readmissions, and QOL.
This evaluation is being conducted to determine user perception of a new flat one-piece skin barrier compared to their normal barrier.
Certain research and innovation projects require an assessment of the adhesive properties of adhesives, which cannot be established from in-vitro testing. The most valuable data for assessments of this type comes from adhesion and wear time studies involving application to living human skin on volunteers. The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and performance of an enhanced one piece drainable pouch with a mouldable skin barrier wafer in a group of subjects with an ileostomy.
Diverting ileostomies are created to protect a rectal anastomosis or in situations with a risk of intestinal perforation. Currently, the application of a rod to hinder slippage of the loop is an established technique to perform a diverting loop ileostomy. However, various "rod-less" techniques have been described and are performed with similar success. The aim of this study is to determine, whether a modification (without rod) of the current standard method of protective loop ileostomy formation (with rod) could improve ileostomy specific morbidity. Secondary endpoints include stoma care, determinants of quality of life and stoma function.
