NCT ID NCT02121743
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial investigates whether placing a biological mesh (Strattice) during colostomy creation can prevent parastomal hernia, a common complication. About 81 adults undergoing colorectal surgery with a terminal colostomy will be randomly assigned to receive the mesh or standard care. The study tracks hernia occurrence, pain, and surgical complications over two years.
