Phasix Mesh Underlay During Loop Ileostomy Closure

Brief Summary

This prospective study will evaluate whether placement of long-acting absorbable Phasix mesh during loop ileostomy closure reduces the development of an incisional hernia at the ileostomy closure site in patients with a BMI greater than 25. Participants will undergo mesh-reinforced closure and will be followed for two years after surgery. The primary outcome is development of an incisional hernia at the ileostomy closure site, confirmed by CT imaging at two years.
