Could a dissolvable mesh patch stop hernias after bowel surgery?
NCT ID NCT04916067
Summary
This small pilot study tested a new technique to prevent hernias after ileostomy closure surgery in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Surgeons placed a special, dissolvable mesh patch over the abdominal wall defect left after closing the stoma. The main goal was to check if this approach was safe and to see if it might reduce hernia formation compared to standard closure methods.
