Early Ileostomy Closure
for Rectal Cancer
Our preliminary work demonstrates that there is buy-in from both patients and surgeons with regards to early ileostomy closure (EIC) for select rectal cancer patients undergoing restorative proctectomy (RP) and diverting loop ileostomy (DLI). The feedback from leaders in Europe further supports the need for a large scale randomized-controlled trial (RCT) on this subject in North America. Should the results of such a study be favourable, we believe it could support a change in practice that would be beneficial to patients and the health care system alike. Furthermore, our work will help identify which patients and practices are suitable for EIC. The goal of our project is to determine whether EIC in rectal cancer patients undergoing RP with a DLI is safe, feasible and beneficial in a North American population. Specifically, our primary objective is to compare the severity of complications between patients undergoing EIC versus traditional (late) closure. Our secondary objectives include assessing the difference in quality of life (QoL), early and late bowel function, and cost of care between these two groups.

Transanal Irrigation
for LARS
This trial is testing if using water to flush out the bowel can help Canadian rectal cancer survivors with severe bowel symptoms. The treatment will be taught and supported online by nurses. The goal is to see if this method improves their quality of life and reduces symptoms. This method has shown promise in clinical experience but lacks extensive scientific evidence.
