Official title

Antegrade Intestinal Fluid Reinfusion Verse Water Infusion Through Prophylactic Ileal Stoma for Prevention of Low Anterior Resection Syndrome After Low Anterior Resection: a Single-Center, Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.

Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if antegrade intestinal fluid reinfusion works to prevent low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) in patients with prophylactic ileal stoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does it work to prevent LARS by antegrade intestinal fluid reinfusion before performing the ileostomy reversal surgery? 2. Is antegrade intestinal fluid reinfusion more effective than water infusion in preventing LARS. Participants will: 1. Receive either antegrade intestinal fluid reinfusion or antegrade water infusion through ileal stoma based on the standard of care at 1 month after anterior rectal resection, until the ileostomy reversal. 2. Keep a diary of their symptoms.

Interventions

  • Combination product intestinal fluid infusion
    Prepare autologous intestinal fluid and perform rantegrade reinfusion from the distal end of the stoma.
  • Combination product potable water
    Infuse potable water through the distal end of the stoma.

Primary outcome measures

  • LARS score(m1) [Time frame: 1 month after ileostomy reversal surgery]
Secondary outcome measures (5)
  • Major LARS rate(m1) [Time frame: 1 month after ileostomy reversal]
  • LARS score (m0-12) [Time frame: 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after ileostomy reversal surgery]
  • MSKCC BFI [Time frame: 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after ileostomy reversal surgery]
  • Wexner score [Time frame: 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after ileostomy reversal surgery]
  • quality of life for rectal cancer patients [Time frame: 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after ileostomy reversal surgery]

Eligibility criteria

  • Expected inability to retract the stoma.
  • Patients with preoperative inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, etc.
  • inability to treat according to the plan, poor compliance.
