Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Presence/absence of a peristomal hernia

    The occurrence of peristomal hernias is determined in both groups every three months up until 24 months. The presence of absence of a hernia is detected by clinical exam, and at 24 months by an additional radiology exam. The primary outcome concerns rates at 24 months, primo-events only.

    24 months

Secondary Outcomes (135)

  • Presence/absence of peristomal hernia

    12 months

  • Days of hospitalisation

    1 month

  • Operating time (minutes)

    Day 1

  • Estimation of blood loss during the operation (ml)

    Day 1

  • Was stomal repair necessary for the patient? yes/no

    24 months

  • +130 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Mesh

EXPERIMENTAL

The patients allocated to this arm of the study will have mesh (Covidien France: mono filament polyester bidimensional knit) implanted in association with their colostomy.

Procedure: Colostomy with mesh implantation

No mesh

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The patients allocated to this arm of the protocol will not receive mesh implantation with their colostomy.

Procedure: Simple colostomy

Interventions

Colostomy with mesh implantation

Mesh

Colostomy with no mesh implantation.

No mesh
