Mesh may stop hernias after colostomy
NCT ID NCT01380860
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether placing a special mesh during colostomy creation can prevent hernias from forming around the stoma. 200 patients having their first colostomy were randomly assigned to get the mesh or not. They were checked every three months for two years to see if a hernia developed.
