First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study tests whether using a patient's own gut bacteria (autologous probiotics) can reduce severe bowel problems after temporary ileostomy reversal in rectal cancer survivors. About 40 adults who had rectal cancer surgery with a temporary ileostomy will receive their own cultured probiotics. The goal is to see if this approach lowers the rate of major low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) six months after treatment.
