Brief summary

The use of temporary stomas has been demonstrated to reduce septic complications after colorectal cancer surgery, especially in high-risk anastomosis; therefore, it is necessary to reduce the number of complications secondary to ostomy takedowns, namely wound infection. The aim of this study is to compare the rates of superficial wound infection, healing time and patient satisfaction after pursestring closure vs gunsight skin incision and closure technique closure.
