Stoma Reversal Procedure
Conditions
Brief summary
To compare outcomes of purse-string skin closure and conventional linear skin closure techniques in patients undergoing stoma reversal
Detailed description
Upon receiving permission from the ERC, children who fulfill the operational definitions and inclusion criteria will be enrolled in the research after informed consent. Children of both genders, age 8 months to 12 years, undergoing ileostomy or colostomy reversal will be included. All patients will be divided into two groups by lottery method by offering them to pick up slip. In group A patients, skin wound closure after stoma reversal will be done with technique of purse-string closure. In group B patients, skin closure after reversal will be done with technique of conventional linear closure. All procedures will be performed by the same. Outcome of surgery will be noted in every patient of both groups as per operational definition. This all data will be recorded on a specially designed proforma
