Pelvic Floor Reconstruction Using Biological Mesh With Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Following ELAPE

February 4, 2021 updated by: Zhen Jun Wang, Beijing Chao Yang Hospital

Pelvic Floor Reconstruction Using Biological Mesh With Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Following Extralevator Abdominoperineal Excision

Perineal wound healing is a significant challenge after extralevator abdominoperineal excision (ELAPE) due to a high rate of wound breakdown. And it was proved that neoadjuvant radiotherapy significantly increases perineal wound problems after abdominoperineal resection for rectal cancer. Negative pressure therapy has proven benefits in open wounds, and recently a negative pressure system has been developed for use on closed wounds at high risk of breakdown. A systematic review suggested a significant decrease in perineal wound complications when using incisional negative pressure wound therapy was demonstrated, with surgical site infection rates as low as 9% (vs 41% in control groups). The review suggested that incisional negative pressure wound therapy decreases perineal wound complications after abdominoperineal resection. Prospective study also suggested that after ELAPE the application of a negative pressure system to the perineal wound closed with biologic mesh may reduce perineal wound complications. The aim of the present study was to determine whether negative pressure therapy combined with biological mesh compared with biological mesh alone after ELAPE could improve wound healing.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Biological Mesh
Using biological mesh to recnostruct the pelvic floor following ELAPE
Procedure: Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
The perineal wound was reconstructed with biologic mesh after ELAPE. The subcutaneous adipose layer was closed with 2/0 vicryl sutures, and a suction drain was left in the deep layer. The subcuticular layer and skin were closed with 3/0 vicryl mattress sutures and the negative pressure system applied at 80 mmHg

Procedure: Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
The perineal wound was reconstructed with biologic mesh after ELAPE. The subcutaneous adipose layer was closed with 2/0 vicryl sutures, and a suction drain was left in the deep layer. The subcuticular layer and skin were closed with 3/0 vicryl mattress sutures and the negative pressure system applied at 80 mmHg
