U.S., Dec. 17 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07283952) titled 'Diverting Ileostomy and Transverse Colostomy Comparative Study' on Nov. 20.
Brief Summary: Protective diverting stomas are frequently constructed after low anterior resection or colorectal anastomosis to mitigate the consequences of anastomotic leakage, one of the most feared complications in colorectal surgery.
Both loop ileostomy (LI) and loop transverse colostomy (TC) are accepted methods of diversion. Randomized and observational studies have shown that faecal diversion significantly reduces the clinical severity of leaks and the need for reoperation compared with no diversion.
The choice between LI and TC remains controversia...
