COMPARISON BETWEEN OSTOMY CLOSURE USING PURSE-STRING VERSUS LINEAR IN CHILDREN

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Type of ostomy closure has connection with some complications and also cosmetic effects. AIMS: This study aimed to compare result of colostomy closure using purse-string method versus linear method in terms of surgical site infection, surgical time, and patient satisfaction. METHODS: In this study, 50 patients who underwent purse-string ostomy closure and 50 patients who underwent linear closure were included. Two groups were compared for surgical time, wound infection, patient satisfaction, scar length. A p-value <0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: Wound infection was not reported among purse-string group compared to 10% in linear group (p=0.022). Scar length was 24.09±0.1 mm in purse string and 52.15±1.0 mm in linear group (p=0.033). Duration of hospital admission was significantly shorter in purse-string group (6.4±1.1 days) compared to linear (15.5±4.6 days, p=0.0001). The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale scale for observer (p=0.038) and parents (p=0.045) was more favorable among purse-string group compared to linear. CONCLUSION: Purse-string technique has the less frequent surgical site infection, shorter duration of hospital admission, less scar length, and more favorable cosmetic outcome, compared to linear technique..
