Stoma Closure and Reinforcement Trial ll

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
Ileostomy - Stoma
Interventions
Device: Mesh Implantation
Registration Number
NCT04916067
Lead Sponsor
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center
Brief 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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of wound occurrences30 days

Incidence of wound occurrences (defined as superficial surgical site infection \[s-SSI\], deep surgical site infection \[d-SSI\], organ space surgical site infection \[O-SSI\], dehiscence, and seroma formation) at 30 days, with particular attention to wound occurrences requiring procedural intervention, including but not limited to, operative debridement, radiographically guided drain placement, or excision of the mesh will be assessed.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Quality of Life after mesh implantation30 days, 6 months

Patient will be evaluated with regards to their quality of life outcomes the PROMIS SF 2.0, Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities, instrument at 30 days and 6 months from the date of ileostomy closure.

Bowel Function after mesh implantation30 days, 6 months

Patient will be evaluated with regards to their bowel function using the Colorectal Functional Outcome (COREFO) instrument at 30 days and 6 months from the date of ileostomy closure.

Incidence of hernia formation30 days, 6 months

The incidence of hernia formation at the ileostomy site on a prospective basis at 30 days and at 6 months from the date of ileostomy closure.
