ESCP is investigating the variety in wound closure techniques and surgical site infection preventive strategies. We hope to gather as many individual responses as possible and would be grateful if you could complete the survey. 

The European Society of Coloproctology (ESCP) is dedicated to promoting and advancing the science, knowledge and practice of coloproctology in Europe.

We would like to invite you to complete a short survey (5-10 minutes to complete) designed to investigate the variety in the use of abdominal wound closure techniques and surgical site infection preventive strategies. Three clinical scenarios have been included in the survey to represent the diversity of our patient population, and insight into your personal strategies would be very much appreciated.

Midline abdominal wound closure is subject to development of surgical site infections, abdominal wound dehiscence and incisional hernia. The associated morbidity, mortality and health care costs associated with these complications challenge the surgical community to improve surgical techniques and to develop and implement preventive measures.

This survey will be used to inform the next generation of ESCP studies.
