About this study

Upon receiving permission from the ERC, children who fulfill the operational definitions and inclusion criteria will be enrolled in the research after informed consent. Children of both genders, age 8 months to 12 years, undergoing ileostomy or colostomy reversal will be included. All patients will be divided into two groups by lottery method by offering them to pick up slip. In group A patients, skin wound closure after stoma reversal will be done with technique of purse-string closure. In group B patients, skin closure after reversal will be done with technique of conventional linear closure. All procedures will be performed by the same. Outcome of surgery will be noted in every patient of both groups as per operational definition. This all data will be recorded on a specially designed proforma

Treatment and study plan

Purse-string wound closure

Procedure

Closure of stoma reversal wound using purse-string approximation technique

Conventional linear wound closure

Procedure

Closure of stoma reversal wound using conventional linear skin closure technique.

Primary outcomes

  1. Surgical Site Infections

    Time frame: 7 days

    The presence of infection at the wound site, identified by clinical signs (e.g., redness, swelling, pus)

  2. Time for wound healing

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    The duration from the surgical procedure until the wound is fully healed. It will be assessed on clinical examination of wound closure, including inspection for signs of epithelialization and the absence of gaps or dehiscence.

  3. Length of stay

    Time frame: 10 days
