NCT ID NCT07369531

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a special delayed-connection surgery (Turnbull-Cutait) can help people with low rectal cancer avoid a permanent colostomy bag better than the standard surgery with a temporary stoma. About 520 adults aged 18-75 with rectal cancer will be randomly assigned to one of the two surgeries. Researchers will track who remains stoma-free and alive after 3 years, and also compare bowel function, quality of life, and complications.
