Stoma Closure and Reinforcement (SCAR)-II Trial: A Single Center Pilot Study of the Safety of a Mesh Reinforcement of Ileostomy Closure to Prevent Hernia Formation in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients
The SCAR-II trial aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a bioresorbable mesh reinforcement technique during ileostomy closure in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The study was conducted at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center but was terminated early due to resource constraints, with only 8 participants enrolled.
