Clinical Trial Summary

n the current work we are aiming to compare between the mesh-reinforced stoma closure and the anatomical closure in terms of the risk of developing surgical site incisional hernia (SSIH),incidence of surgical site infection , post-operative Pain and Hospital stay

Description:

Intestinal stomas are used to divert intestinal content as a treatment option. Faecal flow is diverted from the site of the pathology by bringing the end or a loop of bowel through the anterior abdominal wall; any segments of the colon can be used, as well as the distal part of the ileum. A stoma may be temporary or permanent according to the condition. Temporary stomas are usually followed by elective stoma closure 6-8 weeks after. Though considered a relative safe procedure, studies reported high morbidity rates following stoma closure with different complications. Incisional hernia following stoma closure occurs in up to 30% of patients. Incisional hernia affects quality of life, in regards to pain, physical function, ability to work, and cosmoses. Other serious complications due to bowel obstruction with incarceration or strangulation can occur which may necessitate reoperation. Mesh-reinforced stoma closure shown to decrease the incidence of surgical site incisional hernia (SSIH) with low complications risk. Though there is a debate about its efficacy due to lake of data ,and doubt to use a mesh in contaminated wounds due to fear of wounds complications which may necessitate mesh extraction or longer hospital stay make it hard for many surgeons to use Mesh-reinforced stoma closure. In the current work we are aiming to compare between the mesh-reinforced stoma closure and the anatomical closure in terms of the risk of developing (SSIH),incidence of surgical site infection ,post-operative Pain and Hospital stay

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	the risk of developing surgical site incisional hernia (SSIH)	Compare between the incidence of surgical site incisional hernia in group a and group b	through study completion, an average of 1 year
Secondary	surgical site infection	Compare between the incidence of surgical site infection in group a and group b	Up to 12 weeks
Secondary	post-operative Pain	Compare between the incidence of post operative pain in group a and group b using numeric pain rating scale from 0 to 10	immediately after the intervention
Secondary	Hospital stay	Compare between the lenght of hospital stay post operative in group a and group b	through study completion, an average of 1 year
