Ann Surg 2023; 277: 38-42.

Some 154 patients were evaluable after three years. There was no significant difference in clinical or radiological rates of stoma hernia, or reintervention.

Comment: One of a number of similar trials, with varying results. Clearly not as definitive as for abdominal wounds.
