Earlier stoma reversal may speed recovery without extra risk
NCT ID NCT07601594
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 90 patients who had a temporary ileostomy after colorectal surgery. It compared reversing the stoma at 8 weeks instead of the usual 12 weeks, in patients whose healing was confirmed by X-ray. The goal was to see if earlier reversal reduces complications and helps people recover faster.
