About this study

Official title: Study of the Effectiveness of a Lightweight Mesh (Polypropylene and Poliglecaprone 25 and Oxidized Cellulose) in the Prevention of Parastomal Hernia in Patients Requiring a Permanent Ostomy. Laparoscopic Approach

The purpose of this study is to determine if a mesh is effective in the prevention of a parastomal hernia when a permanent ostomy is performed through a laparoscopic approach.

Read the detailed description

Parastomal hernia (PH) is a very common complication after abdominal surgery that requires a permanent ostomy. This type of surgery is usually associated with processes that fall within the scope of Coloproctology.PH is difficult to deal with high rates of recurrence after surgical repair.This type of hernia remains a problem of first order, generating a significant consumption of health and economic resources and determining an impaired quality of life of these patients.Laparoscopic surgery is increasingly used in colorectal surgery.

Also with this type of approach is present the problem of prevention of PH. The use of a mesh in the repair of hernias is not discussed since the placement of a prosthesis significantly reduces the recurrence rate. There are now many types of prosthetic meshes available. A low weight mesh composed of large pores (about 5mm) with a high proportion of absorbable material and a layer of oxidized regenerated cellulose which is placed in the vicinity of the bowel is available on the market (PROCEED ®, Ethicon). The introduction of this low-weight mesh provides a good opportunity to prevent the development of an PH when we use a laparoscopic approach.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. If a prophylactic mesh placed through a laparoscopic approach prevents the development of a parastomal hernia when a permanent ostomy is done

    Measured: 24 to 36 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Measuring the quality of life using the SF-36

    Measured: Preoperative and at the end of the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lightweight polipropilene and poliglecaprone 25 and oxidized cellulose mesh in people with Parastomal Hernia, run by Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron Research Institute at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

If a prophylactic mesh placed through a laparoscopic approach prevents the development of a parastomal hernia when a permanent ostomy is done (time frame: 24 to 36 months after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00908661, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Mar 2017.
