Juratli MA, et al. - Authors, herein, undertook a comparative evaluation of the incisional hernia (IH) rates of standard suture skin closure and purse-string skin closure techniques in subjects undergoing ileostomy reversal. An advantage was brought to light of the purse-string skin closure technique in ileostomy reversals. Findings suggested the use of this technique for skin closure following ileostomy reversals for reducing the IH rates.
