A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to implement a protocol for stimulating the efferent limb of the intestine prior to the closure of ileostomies at Hospital Universitario La Paz. The intervention involves daily stimulation using a saline solution and thickening agent for at least two weeks before surgery. The goal is to improve postoperative recovery outcomes, reduce complications, and enhance the quality of life for patients undergoing ileostomy closure. By establishing a formal protocol, the study seeks to provide a structured approach to this intervention, which has shown potential benefits in previous research.
