New stent technique may replace ileostomy for rectal cancer patients
NCT ID NCT06204497
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a temporary stent placed inside the bowel could replace a traditional ileostomy (a bag outside the body) after rectal cancer surgery. 570 patients at high risk for leaks were randomly assigned to either the stent or ileostomy. The goal was to see if the stent could reduce hospital stays, lower costs, and improve quality of life without increasing serious complications.
