Effect of Duramesh™ on Hernia Formation After Ileostomy Closure, Randomized Controlled Trial

Study overview

Diverting ileostomy is frequently utilized to protect high-risk anastomoses, though it is not shown to reduce the leak rate it may reduce the severe consequences of an anastomotic leak. Ileostomy will be reversed with restoration of continuity in majority of patients. Stoma site incisional hernias after ileostomy closure are complex hernias that can be associated with abdominal pain, discomfort, and a diminished quality of life. Duramesh™ non-absorbable polypropylene suture is a hollow core, microporous, cylindrical suture made off in polypropylene filaments that are loosely braided and bonded to each other with heat and pressure. The Aim of this study is to evaluate Duramesh™ suture vs standard closure on rates of hernia formation after ileostomy closure.

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.
