Parastomal Hernia After Mesenteric Molding Suturing in Colostomy

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional study compares two suturing techniques used during colostomy surgery to see if mesenteric molding suturing lowers the rate of parastomal hernia. Eligible adults undergoing colostomy will be assigned to regular mesenteric molding suturing or a non-molding technique. The study focuses on postoperative development of parastomal hernia and may inform best surgical practice to prevent this complication. Outcomes will be measured over a defined follow-up period to assess incidence and safety. Conducted at the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University, the trial aims to clarify whether a technical modification at the time of stoma creation can reduce PSH risk.
