About this study

Official title: Day-Case Closure of Ileostomy: A Pilot Study

The aim of this study is to investigate if day-case closure of ileostomy is feasible and safe.

Read the detailed description

For all patients that match the inclusion criteria a registration-protocol is completed. Then the patients are operated and a surgery-protocol is completed. The patients are observed for maximum 24 h and discharged if they meet the discharge-criteria. 30 days post-operative the investigators do a follow-up of complications.

Being tested
ileostoma closure

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ileostoma closureProcedure or surgery

    The operation procedure is standardized as described above (see group description).The patients will be observed for 23 hours, and if there are no contraindications according to described criteria the patient can be discharged form the hospital, however all patients will have follow-up telephone contact on a daily basis with a nurse for the first week. Patients will meet the surgeon 3 days after discharge and after 4 weeks.

Study groups in NCT02774447
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Rectal cancer patients with ileostomaIn association with anterior resection of rectal cancer these patients obtain loop-ileostoma in order to avoid complications. These are closed within a few months and according to previous studies the admission time is 3-5 days after operation. This study is a single-arm study. The arm include patients having had rectal cancer operation and who have obtained a loop-ileostoma and that meet the inclusion criteria. The operation procedure is standardized; shortly described by dissecting the ileostoma from the abdominal wall and everting the stoma ledges, which will be sutured or stapled. The patients will be observed for 23 hours, and if there are no contraindications according to described criteria the patient can be discharged form the hospital, however all patients will be followed up.
Receives: Procedure: ileostoma closure
