Trial Identification

Brief Title: APEMESH II - Perineal Reconstruction

Official Title: Apemesh II - Perineal Reconstruction With Mesh Enhanced Gluteus Plasty

Study ID: NCT04779125

Conditions

Rectal Cancer

Interventions

Gluteus plasty enhanced with Progrip self gripping mesh

Study Description

Brief Summary: The objective of this pilot study is to assess the safety, functional outcome, feasibility and the potential benefits of synthetic mesh strip and gluteus flap reconstruction in perineum in case-control setting.

Detailed Description: Several studies have reported over 30% morbidity with perineal wound healing after abdominoperineal resection. Preoperative radiotherapy seems to be a strong predictor for perineal complications. Musculocutaneus flaps and use of biological mesh seem to minimize perineal morbidity.
