First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study tests if a newer two-step surgery (Turnbull-Cutait) helps people with low rectal cancer avoid a permanent stoma (colostomy bag) better than standard surgery with a temporary stoma. About 520 adults with low rectal cancer will be randomly assigned to one of the two surgeries. Researchers will track who remains stoma-free for 3 years, and also compare bowel function, quality of life, and complications.
