NCT00577603 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 40

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study is being done to evaluate the use of a material (Alloderm collagen mesh) during the stomal formation operation (surgery that will create a mouth-like opening on the surface of the body to an internal organ). The main purpose of this research study is to see if using this material will lower the hernia rate compared to normal repair without this material. The secondary purpose is to evaluate if using this material will increase or decrease complication rates.

Conditions

  • Hernia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

mesh reinforcement of stoma

Patients randomized to receive mesh will undergo stoma formation and will have a 8 cm x 12 cm piece of AlloDerm graft placed as a tissue reinforcement around the stoma and extending under the midline incision. The mesh will be trimmed to provide a minimum of 3cm of overlap around the stoma in all directions. The mesh will be secured with transabdominal number one Prolene (Ethicon, Inc) sutures every 4cm around the mesh. Additional fixation will be provided with Protack spiral tacks (US Surgical, Inc) every 1cm around the mesh. The midline fascia will be closed with running number one Prolene sutures. Skin will be closed in standard fashion.
