Abstract: Introduction: Stoma surgery, crucial for conditions like Crohn's disease and colorectal cancers, requires effective closure techniques. This study compares the pursestring method to conventional closure methods, focusing on postoperative outcomes and complications. Methods: The study involved a systematic comparison between the pursestring and traditional linear suturing techniques in stoma closure. Patient selection was based on specific criteria, ensuring a representative sample. Variables such as surgical time, complication rates, and recovery periods were meticulously recorded and analyzed. Results: The analysis revealed that patients undergoing the pursestring method experienced significantly lower infection rates and quicker healing times. This method, employing a circular suture pattern, proved more effective in minimizing postoperative complications compared to conventional methods. Conclusion: The pursestring method demonstrates a notable advantage over traditional techniques in stoma closure. Its benefits in reducing infection rates and promoting faster recovery highlight its potential as a preferred method in surgical practice. The study advocates for its broader adoption in clinical settings, considering its positive impact on patient outcomes.
