Objective: The objective of the study was to compare the frequency of infectionin stoma site skin wound closure done by purse string suture and linear suturing techniques.Study Design: Randomized control trial. Setting: Surgical Unit-I, Allied Hospital, PunjabMedical College, Faisalabad. Duration: From 1st Jan, 2014 to 31st March, 2015 (15 Months).Material and Methods: Total number of sixty patients of both sexes with benign disease wereincluded using non-probability consecutive sampling technique after approval from hospitalethics committee. All patients were admitted through OPD and a written informed consent wastaken. They were divided into two groups (30 each). The two techniques of ileostomy stomawound closure used were linear closure and purse-string closure. Data was analyzed usingSPSS v10. Chi-square test was used to compare the outcome (wound infection) in both groups.P-value less than 0.05 was taken as significant. Results: Comparison of infection in stomasite skin wound closure done by purse string suture and linear suturing techniques was donewhich shows presence of infection in 36.67%(n=11) in Linear closure and 10%(n=3) in Pursestringclosure group while remaining 63.33% (n=19) and 90%(n=27) respectively case had noinfection, p value was calculated as 0.01 which shows a significant difference. Conclusions:The frequency of infection in stoma site skin wound closure done by purse-string suturingtechnique is significantly less than linear suturing technique.
