A Study Comparing Laparoscopic/Robotic Stoma Reduced-Port Fusion Surgery with Traditional Surgery in Patients with Temporary Ileostomy
China80 participantsStarted 2024-09-06
Plain-language summary
The traditional positioning and surgical methods for temporary ileostomy no longer meet the requirements of minimally invasive surgery: (1) Conventional stoma positioning often leads to the trocar incision being too close to the stoma site, increasing the risk of baseplate leakage and skin infection. (2) Since stoma positioning is required to be within the rectus abdominis, the proximity between the stoma and auxiliary incision can heighten difficulties in stoma bag attachment and raises the risk of fecal leakage. (3) Stoma retraction surgery within the rectus abdominis is more traumatic and complex. We introduce for the first time a modified stoma positioning and surgical method, termed Reduced-Port Fusion Surgery. This technique includes preoperative trocar/stoma fusion positioning and intraoperative trocar/stoma fusion surgery. The procedure is based on the 3R principles: Reposition - the stoma is repositioned within the Joint Trocar/Stoma Zone, allowing for more lateral placement to meet surgical needs without being confined to the rectus abdominis. Reduce Port - the same fusion point is used for both trocar insertion and stoma creation, enabling dual use of one site. Recognize - surgeons participate in stoma positioning, recognize the positioning, and follow the procedure. This prospective, randomized, parallel-controlled clinical study aims to evaluate whether Reduced-Port Fusion Surgery can reduce stoma-related complications, postoperative pain, improve quality of life, and facilitate stoma retraction surgery compared to traditional methods. A total of 80 participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio. The experimental group will undergo Reduced-Port Fusion Surgery while the control group will receive traditional surgery.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
