Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
PURPOSE: Wound infections after ileostomy closure are common with primary closure of the skin. Although this risk can be reduced by secondary closure, cosmetic outcomes are less than desirable. In an effort to balance these issues, we have used circumferential subcuticular wound approximation to decrease wound size. This study compares outcomes of primary closure vs. circumferential subcuticular wound approximation after ileostomy closure. METHODS: Forty-nine consecutive patients undergoing ileostomy closure over an 18-month period were reviewed. During the first half of this study, all ileostomy sites underwent primary closure, while during the second half all ileostomy sites underwent circumferential subcuticular wound approximation. Short-term outcomes were tabulated including wound infection. Long-term outcomes were assessed using a novel six-point patient satisfaction scale. RESULTS: Primary closure was performed in 25 patients and circumferential subcuticular wound approximation performed in 24 patients. No wound infections occurred in the circumferential subcuticular wound approximation group, compared to 40 percent wound infection rate observed in the primary closure group (P = 0.002). The mean patient satisfaction score was higher in the circumferential subcuticular wound approximation group (18.4) vs. the primary closure group (15.9; P 9 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Circumferential subcuticular wound approximation was associated with a significantly lower incidence of wound infection after ileostomy closure compared to primary closure. A trend was present toward better cosmetic results for circumferential subcuticular wound approximation than primary closure. © The ASCRS 2009.
