Could placing a stoma in the midline reduce complications?

NCT ID NCT07616830

First seen Jun 02, 2026

Summary

This study follows 30 patients who receive a temporary stoma (ileostomy or colostomy) placed through the midline incision during abdominal surgery. Researchers want to see if this approach lowers the risk of complications like hernias and wound infections compared to traditional stoma placement. The goal is to gather data on safety and outcomes to guide future surgical practice.

Active substance

Midline stoma procedure

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that midline stomas are safer and simpler, reducing long-term hernia risk and saving operative time.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early observational study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply widely. There is a risk of fecal contamination of the midline incision.
