Prestoma-Trial for Parastomal Hernia Prevention

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Rectal Adenocarcinoma
Interventions
Device: Parietene Macro
Device: Parietex Parastomal
Device: Dynamesh IPST
Registration Number
NCT03527784
Lead Sponsor
University of Oulu
Brief Summary

Prestoma Trial is designed to compare the safety and efficiency of three different meshes and techniques to prevent parastomal hernia after laparoscopic or robotic-assisted abdominoperineal resection for rectal adenocarcinoma.

Detailed Description

Parastomal hernia after permanent colostomy formation is a common problem. The European Hernia Society recommends the use of prophylactic mesh when the stoma is constructed. So far, there're no trials comparing the methods to prevent the parastomal hernia.

Prestoma Trial is designed to compare the most researched retromuscular mesh (Parietene Macro by Medtronic) with two different types of intraperitoneal meshes (Parietex Parastomal by Medtronic and Dynamesh IPST) in parastomal hernia prevention after laparoscopic or robotic-assisted abdominoperineal resection for rectal adenocarcinoma.

Quality of Life measured by RAND 365 years

Quality of life measured by The RAND 36-Item Health Survey 1.0 which assess eight health concepts: physical functioning, role limitations caused by physical health problems, role limitations caused by emotional problems, social functioning, emotional well-being, energy/fatigue, pain, and general health perceptions with a scale 0-100, higher the score, better the quality of life.

Operative time30 days

Total time needed in operation theatre and time needed for mesh application

Length of stay30 days
