Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Incisional hernia rate within 24 months after intervention as defined by the European Hernia Society

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Postoperative complications within 30 days according to Dindo-Clavien classification (DCC) = 3 • Number of Surgical Site Occurrences (SSO) defined as follows: 2. Superficial or deep surgical site infections (SSI) within 1 year after index operation according to the CDC definition. 3. Rate of wound seromas at former ostomy site within 30 days after index operation. 4. Rate of hematomas at former ostomy site within 30 days after index operation. 5. Enterocutaneous fistulas within 24 months after index operation. 6. Number of patients undergoing incisional hernia repair at site of ileostomy closure within 24 months after index operation. 7. Number of revision surgeries because of complication related to ileostomy closure within 24 months after index operation 8. Chronic postoperative pain in ileostomy closure site measured via the Pain Questions of the EHS-QoL questionnaire at baseline, 12 and 24 months postoperative. 9. Health-related Quality of Life at 12 and 24 months after index operation according to EHS -QoL questionnaire. 10. Hernia Recurrence Inventory (HRI) at 12 and 24 months.
