Brief Title: Comparing Polypropylene Mesh and "Small Bites" Technique in Emergency Colorectal Surgery's Midline Laparotomy Closure. Study for Incisional Hernia Prevention.
Official Title: Comparison Between the Use of a Prophylactic Polypropylene Mesh and the "Small Bites" Technique in Midline Laparotomy Closure for Emergency Colorectal Surgery for Incisional Hernia Prevention
Study ID: NCT06220058
Brief Summary: The 2023 World Journal of Emergency Surgery guidelines couldn't provide a recommendation for emergency abdominal wall closure due to insufficient consensus (\>80% required). Available evidence, predominantly retrospective and heterogeneous, lacks differentiation between urgent and elective colorectal surgeries. Therefore, we advocate for a study comparing laparotomy closures in emergency colorectal surgery to contribute evidence on incisional hernia incidence and subsequent complications.
