Stitch showdown: which wound closes better after stoma surgery?
NCT ID NCT07573423
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two ways to close the skin after reversing a temporary ileostomy (a surgically created opening in the belly). 252 adults were randomly assigned to either a straight-line closure or a purse-string closure that leaves a small gap for drainage. The goal was to see which method leads to fewer wound infections and shorter hospital stays. Results may help surgeons choose the safest technique.
