Mesh may cut hernia risk after stoma reversal, small trial suggests
NCT ID NCT06157645
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether placing a mesh (a supportive screen) during stoma reversal surgery could prevent hernias better than standard closure. 62 patients who had a temporary stoma took part. The researchers measured hernia rates, infections, pain, and hospital stay length.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Prolene mesh
- What this could lead to
- If successful, using a mesh during stoma closure could lower the chance of developing a hernia at the surgical site.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center trial with only 62 participants. Results may not apply to everyone, and mesh could increase infection risk.
