Reply to "Can you have a plastics closure for ostomy takedown?"

Mine was left open, and it has healed nicely. It's fairly flat; not really circular but more oblong. Many surgeons choose to leave the wound open because with suturing, there is supposedly more of a chance of an uneven scar with "dog-earring." However, depending on the skill and preference of the surgeon, you could have a very nice closed wound.
