Randomized trial shows noninferiority of negative pressure therapy for wound healing in ileostomy reversal, suggesting a safe option.
Ileostomy reversal by Primary linear closure- negative pressure wound therapy is noninferior to pursestring approximation in terms of the occurrence of surgical site infections while achieving significantly faster wound healing. The method is safe, convenient and cosmetically acceptable. (See Video Abstract)Trial Registration: Advocate Aurora Health IRB, IRB# 22.034 (7082).
