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.
