What the study is about

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two types of closure in patients with ostomies that are ready for closure. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Surgical site infection rates
  • Patient quality of life
  • Time to wound healing

Participants will undergo either complete ostomy wound closure after washing out the wound with Prontosan, or their ostomy wound will be closed using the Pursestring method, where the wound will be left partially open and allowed to heal from the inside out. Researchers will compare these two groups' outcomes (questions to be answered) as listed above.

Being studied: Primary Ostomy Closure with 0.1% Betaine/0.1% Polyhexanide Wound Irrigation; Pursestring Closure

Conditions: Surgical Site Infection; Wound Surgical; Colorectal Disorders
