Summary

This study tests whether putting a person's own intestinal fluid back into their stoma can prevent a common and distressing bowel condition called Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS) after rectal cancer surgery. 160 participants will either receive their own intestinal fluid or plain water through their stoma. The goal is to see which approach better reduces bowel urgency, leakage, and frequency after the stoma is reversed.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: autologous intestinal fluid
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a simple way to prevent severe bowel dysfunction after rectal cancer surgery, improving quality of life for many patients.
What could go wrong: This is a mid-stage trial with only 160 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedure involves a stoma and may not be comfortable or effective for all patients.
