Mesh or no mesh after a colostomy hernia
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how often a hernia happens 5 years after a terminal colostomy. It compares using a mesh patch to reinforce the area versus not using mesh, to see which approach may work better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a pre-shaped, funnel-like mesh placed during colostomy surgery to prevent parastomal hernias (bulging around the stoma). If you are having a permanent terminal colostomy and are in reasonably good health, this study may help reduce your risk of a hernia.
This trial tests whether sewing the belly lining in a special way during colostomy surgery can lower the chance of a hernia near the stoma. It may help you if you need a colostomy and are in generally good health.
This study looks at why some people get an infection in the mesh used to fix a hole or weakness in the belly wall. The goal is to find risk factors so doctors can better prevent infections in the future.
This study tests a new way to create a stoma (an opening in the belly for waste) during laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery. It compares two methods to see which one better prevents hernias (bulges) from forming next to the stoma.
This study is looking back at patients who had open surgery for an abdominal aortic aneurysm with a special mesh placed to prevent future hernias. Researchers want to see how well the mesh worked over time.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether placing a protective mesh during stoma closure can lower the risk of complications after low anterior resection surgery. It may help people heal more safely and reduce stoma-related problems.
