Pilot Study of Preoperative Intestinal Training Using Antegrade Ileostomy Infusion

Phase 1
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Ileostomy; Complications
Stoma Ileostomy
Interventions
Other: ileostomy infusion
Registration Number
NCT06461559
Lead Sponsor
University of California, San Diego
Brief Summary

This research study is being conducted to study the effect of infusing your contents from your ostomy bag back into your intestine to re-train them prior to the ostomy takedown operation, which is a surgery to reverse your ostomy to put your intestine back together. Because your intestine past the ostomy hasn't seen any intestinal content for several weeks to months before the takedown operation, it is no longer used to handling the daily work of processing intestinal content and will take time to recover its normal function after surgery. We hope to speed up this process by training them before your planned surgery.
