Study Comparing Pursestring Wound Closure vs Conventional Closure to Reverse Stoma of Colorectal Cancer Patients

Randomized Clinical Trial of Stoma Reversal Comparing Pursestring Wound Closure vs Conventional Closure to Eliminate the VSS Score of the Scar for Colorectal Cancer Patients

Temporary stomas has been performed to reduce complications after colorectal cancer surgery, especially in high-risk anastomosis. Different closure technics showed different outcome. The aim of this study is to compare the scar length , surgical site infection and pain score of purse-string wound closure vs conventional closure.
