Clinical Trial Summary

Randomized prospective experimental study, in which the effect of a prophylactic mesh is assessed in the eventration rate diagnosed by CT at one year after surgery in patients with CRC who underwent elective intervention for supra-infraumbilical midline laparotomy, considering as treatment the supra-aponeurotic mesh positioning (experimental group), and comparing it to the standard closing with a continuous suture using slow absorption monofilament.


Clinical Trial Description

Randomized prospective experimental study, in which we evaluate patients with CRC who underwent elective intervention for supra-infraumbilical midline laparotomy in order to:

Main objective:

- To assess the effect of the prophylactic mesh in the eventration rate diagnosed by CT at one year after surgery in patients with CRC who underwent elective intervention for supra-infraumbilical midline laparotomy.

Secondary objectives:

- To compare the appearance of complications in the control group and in the experimental group.

- Compare costs derived from short and long-term mesh placement in both groups.

We consider as treatment the supra-aponeurotic mesh positioning (experimental group), and compare it to the standard closing with slow absorption monofilament. ;
