Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
No Reduction in Parastomal Hernia Rate 3 Years After Stoma Construction With Prophylactic Mesh: Three-year Follow-up Results From STOMAMESH-A Multicenter Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial.
The primary objective was to compare rates of parastomal hernia (PSH) 3 years after stoma construction with prophylactic mesh or no mesh. A secondary objective was to compare complications requiring reintervention within 3 years. ⋯ Prophylactic mesh does not reduce the rate of PSH and cannot be recommended for routine use.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial of Transanal Irrigation Versus Conservative Treatment in Patients With Low Anterior Resection Syndrome After Rectal Cancer Surgery.
The aim of the study was to evaluate transanal irrigation (TAI) as a treatment for low anterior resection syndrome (LARS). ⋯ The results confirm our clinical experience that TAI reduces symptoms included in LARS and improves QoL.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Quality of Recovery and Innate Immune Homeostasis in Patients Undergoing Low- Versus Standard pressure Pneumoperitoneum During Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery (RECOVER): A Randomized Controlled Trial.
To study the effects of intra-abdominal pressure on the quality of recovery and innate cytokine production capacity after laparoscopic colorectal surgery within the enhanced recovery after surgery program. ⋯ Low intra-abdominal pressure during laparoscopic colorectal surgery is safe, improves the postoperative quality of recovery and preserves innate immune homeostasis, and forms a valuable addition to future enhanced recovery after surgery programs.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Treatment of Surgical Scars with Combination Pulsed Dye and Fractional Nonablative Laser: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
To assess the effectiveness and safety of combined pulsed-dye laser (PDL) and NAFL for treatment of surgical scars. ⋯ Combined PDL and NAFL resulted in scar improvement. Scar thickness, stiffness, and erythema were improved.
