Utility of a Supraaponeurotic Mesh as Prophylaxis of the Midline Eventration After an Oncological Colorrectal Resection

Overview

Randomized prospective experimental study, in which the effect of a prophylactic mesh is assessed in the eventration rate diagnosed by CT at one year after surgery in patients with CRC who underwent elective intervention for supra-infraumbilical midline laparotomy, considering as treatment the supra-aponeurotic mesh positioning (experimental group), and comparing it to the standard closing with a continuous suture using slow absorption monofilament.

Randomized prospective experimental study, in which we evaluate patients with CRC who underwent elective intervention for supra-infraumbilical midline laparotomy in order to: Main objective: \- To assess the effect of the prophylactic mesh in the eventration rate diagnosed by CT at one year after surgery in patients with CRC who underwent elective intervention for supra-infraumbilical midline laparotomy. Secondary objectives: * To compare the appearance of complications in the control group and in the experimental group. * Compare costs derived from short and long-term mesh placement in both groups. We consider as treatment the supra-aponeurotic mesh positioning (experimental group), and compare it to the standard closing with slow absorption monofilament.
