Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The investigators propose a clinical trial to assess a model to prevent the incisional hernia after laparotomy to treat colorectal carcinoma is scheduled. A simple randomization is scheduled: in the intervention group a prefascial large-pore low-weight 5 cm wide polypropylene mesh is fixed covering the midline closure; in the control group a conventional closure with a running suture of long-term absorbable material with a suture/wound length ratio 4:1. The sample size was calculated with an estimated incidence of ventral hernia of 25% in the control group and 10% in the intervention group, 0,05 alfa and a 0,15 beta error. The main goal is the appearance of a ventral hernia after 24 months of follow-up. Other outcomes are wound complications and morbidity. Exclusion criteria are adult patients with a previous ventral hernia, estimated survival of less than 6 months or hemodynamic instability during surgery.
The diagnosis of ventral hernia will be assessed by clinical exploration on 3,6,12,18 and 24 months and abdominal CT controls at 6,12, and 24 months. The study will be statistically evaluated with SPSS 18.0.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Prophylactic Mesh
Use of a prefascial polypropylene mesh when closing midline laparotomy
Prophylactic mesh
Closure of midline laparotomy using a prophylactic mesh. The midline is closed with a running absorbable monofilament suture with a suture/wound length ratio 4:1. The material is a monofilament uncoated suture made of poly-4hiydroxybutirate (Monomax, B.Braun) USP 1. Then, a prefascial large-pore low-weight 5 cm wide polypropylene mesh (Optilene Mesh Elastic, B.Braun) is fixed covering the midline closure. The mesh is fixed in the prefascial plane with absorbable monofilament interrupted sutures, USP 2/0.
No prophylactic mesh closure
In this arm the laparotomy of the patients are closed with a running absorbable suture without a mesh
No prophylactic mesh closure
Closure of midline laparotomy without mesh. The laparotomy is closed with a running absorbable monofilament suture with a suture/wound length ratio 4:1. The material is a monofilament uncoated suture made of poly-4hiydroxybutirate (Monomax, B.Braun) USP 1.
