Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In the latest guidelines for abdominal wall closure in emergency surgery published in the World Journal of Emergency Surgery (WJES) in 2023, no specific recommendations are made in this regard.

Current literature does not provide any articles comparing these two types of mesh materials (PP vs PVDF) in emergency colorectal surgery. It is necessary to conduct a study comparing these two types of mesh materials, specifically in high-risk patients for incisional hernia and emergency colorectal surgery. This study aims to contribute to generating evidence regarding differences in wound infection incidence and potential subsequent complications, such as chronic pain.

It is essential to conduct a study comparing different methods of laparotomy closure, specifically in emergency colorectal surgery, to contribute valuable evidence regarding the incidence of incisional hernia and potential subsequent complications.

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Participants
Patients meeting the inclusion criteria for the study will be randomized 1:1 using random number generation functions with SPSS v.21 software into either the PP or PVDF group. This randomization will be carried out using sealed opaque envelopes at the time immediately preceding the onset of the surgical intervention within the operating room. The envelope will be opened within the operating room once the closure of the midline laparotomy is initiated.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Polyvinylidene fluoride mesh

In all patients, surgery will be performed according to their individual pathology. Once midline laparotomy closure is initiated, randomization will be conducted, and patients will be assigned to one of the two groups.

PVDF Group (Polyvinylidene Fluoride Mesh): Midline laparotomy closure using the "small bites" technique associated with a prophylactic suprafascial polyvinylidene fluoride mesh
