Simple Pre-Surgery steps could boost stoma Patients' quality of life
NCT ID NCT06881303
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will follow 100 people who need a stoma (an opening in the belly to pass stool) after surgery. Some will have their stoma site marked and get education before surgery, while others will not. The goal is to see if these steps improve quality of life and reduce problems like skin issues or leaks within 30 days after surgery. The study compares scheduled and emergency surgeries.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- preoperative stoma identification and education
- What this could lead to
- If this works, it could show that simple steps before surgery—like marking the stoma site and teaching patients—can improve quality of life and reduce complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only compares groups, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all hospitals or patients.
