Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The study compares one-year incisional hernia formation between two cohorts of patients that underwent open surgery for colorectal diseases. The patients had the abdominal wall closure performed with either a device for standardized closure or manual closure. The devices aims to secure the closure technique that is advocated by guidelines and could potentially reduce abdominal wall complications. Upholding closure quality can be cumbersome and time consuming and hence inferior closure can sometimes be associated with manual closure. Follow-up will include short term complications like wound infection and burst abdomen and one-year follow-up include a review of patients chart and CTscans performed as part of standard clinical practice.
