“…There was a significant difference in the number of wound infections between primary closure of the skin and leaving the skin open for secondary healing after bowel reconstruction (36 vs. 5%). This complication rate is rather high, but comparable with those of other reports [2,3,4,5]. All infections occurred within 5 days and could be easily managed by partially opening the wound for controlled drainage and secondary healing and/or antibiotic treatment.…”

“…In this study, colostomy closure indeed resulted in more postoperative wound infections, compared to ileostomy closure (27 vs. 13%), but this difference was not statistically significant. In contrast with Lahat et al [5], ileostomy closure with primary closure of the skin at the stoma site resulted in significantly more wound infections compared to delayed closure of the skin. This difference was not found in case of colostomy closure.…”
