Bowel boot camp: refeeding ostomy contents before reversal may speed recovery

NCT ID NCT06461559

First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This study tests a simple idea: before surgery to reverse an ileostomy, participants will infuse their own ostomy contents back into the inactive part of the bowel. The goal is to 'retrain' that section to handle digestion again, potentially helping bowel function return faster after the operation. The study will enroll 20 adults with a loop ileostomy who are scheduled for reversal surgery.
