STOMA CLOSURE AND REINFORCEMENT (SCAR)-II TRIAL A single center pilot study of the safety of a mesh reinforcement of ileostomy closure to prevent hernia formation in Inflammatory Bowel Disease patients
Principal Investigator
Study Number
STUDY02000875
Summary
Hernia formation at sites of ostomy closure is a common complication. The investigator believes that using evidence based hernia repair techniques as a preventive measure during closure of ostomies will reduce the incidence of hernia formation. In this trial, the investigator will pilot a novel technique of monofilament bioresorbable mesh reinforcement of the abdominal wall defects that remain after closure of an ileostomy to evaluate for safety and begin to evaluate the effectiveness compared to standard techniques.
