Trial Identification

Brief Title: PRELOOP Trial: Synthetic Versus Biological Mesh for Prevention of Incisional Hernia After Loop-ileostomy Closure

Official Title: PRELOOP Trial: Synthetic Versus Biological Mesh for Prevention of Incisional Hernia After Loop-ileostomy Closure

Study ID: NCT03445936

Conditions

Rectum Cancer

Interventions

Parietene Macro

Permacol

Study Description

Brief Summary: This study compares a synthetic mesh and biological implant in prevention of incisional hernia after loop-ileostomy closure.

Detailed Description: Incisional hernia after loop-ileostomy closure may be an underestimated problem. Research on both biological and synthetic mesh in this context is scarce and no randomized controlled trials comparing meshes exist. The aim of this study is to compare Parietene Macro and Permacol in prevention of incisional site hernia after temporary loop-ileostomy reversal after anterior resection and TME for rectal cancer.
