Summary

This study tested whether placing a special mesh during colostomy surgery can prevent hernias from forming around the stoma. 200 adults having their first colostomy were randomly assigned to get either the mesh or standard surgery without mesh. Researchers checked for hernias every 3 months for 2 years using physical exams and a final scan.
