Prophylactic biological mesh reinforcement during ileostomy closure surgery evaluated by the image-based deep learning model for the prevention of stoma-site incisional hernia: phase II study protocol for a single-centre, prospective, randomised controlled clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prophylactic ileostomy plays a critical role in the radical resection of low rectal cancer, but the incidence of stoma site incisional hernia (SSIH) after stoma closure remains high. No study has been reported in which radiomics has been used to predict SSIH. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of biological mesh in preventing incisional hernia in patients with high-risk incisional hernia factors, as identified by image-based deep learning model, undergoing ileostomy closure surgery.

Methods and analysis

40 patients who need to undergo ileostomy closure and have been identified with high risk factors for SSIH by image-based deep learning model will be selected for this study. Patients will be randomly assigned equally to the prophy
