About this study

Official title: Role of Mesh Stoma Reinforcement Technique (MSRT) in Prevention of Parastomal Hernia After Ileal Conduit Urinary Diversion: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the safety and efficacy of prophylactic mesh on prevention of parastomal hernia(PSH) after ileal conduit urinary diversion (IC) in a randomized controlled fashion.

Read the detailed description

All patients will be recruited from the urology practice of the study's investigators, Urology department of Urology and Nephrology Center (UNC), Mansoura university, Egypt. Patients will be asked to participate after the patient and physician have made a decision that ileal conduit urinary diversion of choice. Those patients meeting all inclusion criteria will be asked to participate in this study with informed consent then obtained. No monetary income will be offered for participation in the study.

Those patients will be evaluated clinically and radiologically according to the specified protocol.

After enrollment in the study, the stoma site will be marked on the skin the day prior to surgery by the stoma therapist. All patients will be operated by high volume surgeon experienced in IC urinary diversion. The procedure started by radical cystectomy and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy. After sparing the distal 15 cm of the terminal ileum, a 15 cm ileal segment will be isolated and the bowel continuity will be restored and the mesenteric defect will be closed. The distal end of the isolated bowel segment will be mobilized and exteriorized at the predetermined site on the abdominal wall followed by stoma eversion. A preferred rectal muscle splitting approach is preferred for IC exteriorization. In case of MSRT, dissection of subcutaneous fat off the rectus sheath will be accomplished to create a potential space for mesh placement. Then, 5 x 5 cm polypropylene mesh will be placed and incised at the center to create an orifice to allow IC exteriorization. The mesh is then fixed to underlying rectus sheath with 1-0 non-absorbable proline sutures. The IC is exteriorized through the central orifice and then fixed to the peritoneum and to the cut-edges of the rectus muscle using 3-0 polyglactin sutures. A 12 CH subcutaneous tube drain will be fixed and the subcutaneous tissue is closed to collapse the dissected space around the mesh. The stoma is then everted and fixed to the skin. Sham group patients will undergo the same technique without mesh placement. The ureters will be mobilized and anastomosed to the proximal end of the conduit using direct ureteroileal anastomosis.

All patients will undergo the routine protocol at the investigators' center including enrollment in fast track restoration of bowel habits, ileal conduit catheter to be removed on the 5th day and the ureteral stents on the 7th and 8th days. Any deviation from normal postoperative course will be recorded using the modified Clavien-Dindo system.

At followup, patients will be asked to attend the outpatient clinic at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after discharge clinically and radiologically to assess the intended outcomes of the study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Polypropylene Mesh Stoma reinforcement technique with ileal conduit urinary diversionProcedure or surgery

    Also called Implantable polypropylene monofilament mesh

    After standard steps of radical cystectomy and sparing of distal 15 cm of ileum as a conduit for diversion.

    A preferred rectal muscle splitting approach is preferred for IC exteriorization.

    Dissection of subcutaneous fat off the rectus sheath will be accomplished to create a potential space for mesh placement.

    Then, 5 x 5 cm polypropylene mesh will be placed and incised at the center to create an orifice to allow IC exteriorization.

    The mesh is then fixed to underlying rectus sheath with 1-0 non-absorbable proline sutures.

    The IC is exteriorized through the central orifice and then fixed to the peritoneum and to the cut-edges of the rectus muscle using 3-0 polyglactin sutures.

    A 12 CH subcutaneous tube drain will be left and the subcutaneous tissue is closed to collapse the dissected space around the mesh.

    The stoma is then everted and fixed to the skin.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of parastomal hernia 2 years after surgery

    The primary outcome of this study will be the incidence of parastomal hernia at 2 years after surgery

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Adverse events related to mesh placement

    The secondary outcome will be the adverse events related to mesh placement.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Health related quality of life as measured by Body Image Scale (BIS) questionnaire

    Health related quality of life issues will be assessed also in both groups.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Polypropylene Mesh Stoma reinforcement technique with ileal conduit urinary diversion and Ileal conduit urinary diversion in people with Ileal Conduit and Parastomal Hernia, run by Mansoura University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 9 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Mar 2018. 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 Egypt. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Amr A. Elsawy, MB BCh (0020502202222, amrelsawy.unc@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of parastomal hernia 2 years after surgery (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 22 Mar 2018.
