What this Trial Is About
Ileostomy or colostomy is a common surgical procedure used to divert contents away from problems in the lower gastrointestinal tract or anastomotic leaks. This research evaluates the outcomes of creating a temporary stoma through the midline of the abdomen, an area not traditionally used for such stomas. The study aims to understand the risks and benefits of midline stomas, which may include easier creation, less tissue injury, and reduced risk of incisional hernias compared to conventional stoma sites. Participants will undergo a temporary ileostomy or colostomy through a midline incision as part of the study. This prospective cohort study follows patients who receive this midline stoma to assess surgical outcomes. Researchers will track events during surgery and follow patients for up to one year after stoma reversal to monitor complications. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for conversion rates during surgery as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes include checking for skin problems around the stoma one month after surgery and the occurrence of incisional hernias one year after the stoma is reversed. The study involves regular assessments to evaluate these outcomes and ensure participant safety over time.
