Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults undergoing a temporary ileostomy or colostomy created through a midline abdominal incision.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with jejunostomy or severe sepsis, or those not undergoing midline stoma procedures, may not experience the observed benefits.

What this trial studies
This prospective cohort study examines patients undergoing a temporary stoma created through a midline abdominal incision. The goal is to understand the complications and recovery associated with midline stomas, including risks after reversal such as leaks and wound issues. The research is conducted at Assiut University, focusing on how a midline stoma impacts postoperative outcomes and potential incisional hernias. Data on patient characteristics, surgical details, and follow-up will be collected to identify patterns and inform future practice. No randomization or control group is specified.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, findings may guide safer stoma placement and improve reversal outcomes for patients with midline stomas.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work on midline or non-traditional stoma sites has shown variable results; this study addresses a specific midline approach with limited prior data.
