Brief summary

Prestoma Trial is designed to compare the safety and efficiency of three different meshes and techniques to prevent parastomal hernia after laparoscopic or robotic-assisted abdominoperineal resection for rectal adenocarcinoma.

Detailed description

Parastomal hernia after permanent colostomy formation is a common problem. The European Hernia Society recommends the use of prophylactic mesh when the stoma is constructed. So far, there're no trials comparing the methods to prevent the parastomal hernia. Prestoma Trial is designed to compare the most researched retromuscular mesh (Parietene Macro by Medtronic) with two different types of intraperitoneal meshes (Parietex Parastomal by Medtronic and Dynamesh IPST) in parastomal hernia prevention after laparoscopic or robotic-assisted abdominoperineal resection for rectal adenocarcinoma.

Interventions

Parietene Macro is used on retromuscular sublay position. The bowel is brought through opening in the middle of the mesh.

DEVICEParietex Parastomal

Parietex Parastomal is used on intraperitoneal onlay position by modified Sugarbaker technique to prevent parastomal hernia.

DEVICEDynamesh IPST

Dynamesh IPST is used on intraperitoneal onlay position to prevent parastomal hernia

Inclusion criteria

* Abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer with permanent end colostomy, either by laparoscopic technique or robotic assistance * 18 years or older * Patient has a life expectancy of at least 12 months. * Patient signs the Informed consent and agrees to attend all study visits.

Exclusion criteria

* Abdominoperineal resection by laparotomy or conversion to laparotomy * Patient with a comorbid illness or condition that would preclude the use of surgery (ASA 4-5). * Patients with concurrent or previous malignant tumors within 5 years before study enrollment * Patients with T4b tumors which impose a multi-organ resection * Rectal malignancy other than adenocarcinoma * Potentially curable resection not possible * Patient undergoing emergency procedures * Planned rectal surgery along with major concomitant procedures (e.g. hepatectomies, other intestinal resections). * Metastatic disease with life expectancy of less than 1 year * Pregnant or suspected pregnancy * Patients living geographically distant and/or unwilling to return for follow-ups or comply with all study requirements

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of parastomal hernia1 yearThe primary outcome is incidence of parastomal hernia at 12 months follow up, detected clinically or on CT scan.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Complications30 daysThe incidence of complications defined by Clavien-Dindo Classification
Stoma related complications5 yearsAny complications related to stoma
Reoperation rate5 yearsReoperation needed for any reason related to previous surgery
Surgical infections30 daysSurgical infections due to primary surgery, defined by CDC (Centers for Disease Control) definition for surgical site infection.
Length of stay30 daysLength of stay at the hospital.
Quality of Life measured by RAND 365 yearsQuality of life measured by The RAND 36-Item Health Survey 1.0 which assess eight health concepts: physical functioning, role limitations caused by physical health problems, role limitations caused by emotional problems, social functioning, emotional well-being, energy/fatigue, pain, and general health perceptions with a scale 0-100, higher the score, better the quality of life.
Operative time30 daysTotal time needed in operation theatre and time needed for mesh application
