METHODS We systematically reviewed 331 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic anterior resection for rectal cancer and prophylactic ileostomy in our institution from June 2010 to October 2016, including 155 patients who underwent specimen extraction via a prophylactic ileostomy procedure(experimental group), and 176 patients who underwent specimen extraction via a small lower abdominal incision(control group). Clinical data were collected from both groups andstatistically analyzed. RESULTS The two groups were matched in clinical characteristics and pathological outcomes. However, mean operative time was significantly shorter in the experimental group compared to the control group(161.3 ± 21.5 min vs 168.8 ± 20.5 min; P = 0.001). Mean estimated blood loss was significantly less in the experimental group(77.4 ± 30.7 mL vs 85.9 ± 35.5 mL; P = 0.020). The pain reported by patients during the first two days after surgery was significantly less in the experimental group than in the control group. No wound infections occurred in the experimental group, but 4.0% of the controls developed wound infections(P = 0.016). The estimated 5-year disease-free survival and overall survival rate were similar between the two groups.CONCLUSION Surgical specimen extraction via a prophylactic ileostomy procedure represents a secure and feasible approach to laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery, and embodies the principle of minimally invasive surgery.展开更多

METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 93 patients, who had undergone elective ileostomy closure between 2009 and 2013 was performed. Demographic, clinical and surgical variables were reviewed for analysis. All complications were recorded, and classified according to the Clavien-Dindo Classification. Statistical univariate and multivariate analysis was performed, setting a P value of 0.05 for significance.RESULTS: The patients had a mean age of 60.3 years, 58% male. The main procedure for ileostomy cre-ation was rectal cancer(56%), and 37% had received preoperative chemo-radiotherapy. The average delay from creation to closure of the ileostomy was 10.3 mo. Postoperative complications occurred in 40% of the pa-tients, with 1% mortality. The most frequent were ileus(13%) and wound infection(13%). Pseudomembra-nous colitis appeared in 4%. Increased postoperative complications were associated with delay in ileostomyclosure(P = 0.041). Male patients had more complica-tions(P = 0.042), mainly wound infections(P = 0.007). Pseudomembranous colitis was also associated with the delay in ileostomy closure(P = 0.003). End-to-end in-testinal anastomosis without resection was significantly associated with postoperative ileus(P = 0.037). CONCLUSION: Although closure of a protective il-eostomy is a fairly common surgical procedure, it has a high rate of complications, and this must be taken into account when the indication is made. The delay in stoma closure can increase the rate of complications in general, and specifically wound infections and colitis.展开更多

AIM To determine potential predictors of high output related complications in patients with diverting loop ileostomy creation after colorectal surgery. METHODS Patients who underwent open and laparoscopic colorectal surgery requiring a diverting loop ileostomy from January 2010 to March 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. We included patients older than 18 years, who underwent colorectal surgery with primary low pelvic anastomosis, and with the creation of a diverting loop ileostomy, at elective or emergency settings for the treatment of benign or malignant conditions. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the effect of the potential predictors on the rate of high output related complications. The high output related complications were dehydration and acute renal failure that required visits to the emergency department and hospitalizations. RESULTS Of the 102 patients included in the study, 23.5%(n = 24) suffered high output related complications. In this group of patients at least one visit to the emergency department (mean 1.6), and at least one readmission to the hospital was needed. The factors associated with high-output ileostomy, in the univariate analysis, were: urgent surgical intervention (OR = 2.6;P = 0.047), the development of postoperative complications (OR = 3;P = 0.024), have ulcerative colitis (OR = 4.8;P = 0.017), use of steroids (OR = 4.3;P = 0.010), mean output at discharge greater than 1000 mL/24 h (OR = 3.2;P = 0.016), and use of loperamide at discharge (OR = 2.8;P = 0.032). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified two independent risk factors for high output related complications: ulcerative colitis [OR = 7.6 (95%CI: 1.81-31.95);P = 0.006], and ileostomy output at discharge ≥ 1000 mL/24 h [OR = 3.3 (1.18-9.37);P = 0.023]. CONCLUSION In our study, patients with ulcerative colitis and those with an ileostomy output above 1000 mL/24 h at discharge, were at increased risk of high output related complications.展开更多

METHODS: Five patients underwent enterectomy and partially anastomosed end-loop ileostomy at the University Hospital of Larissa between 2000 and 2006. Enterectomy was performed because of conditions such as mesenteric vascular occlusive disease, radiation entritis and small bowel injury. RESULTS: Postoperatively, none of the patients developed any stoma-related or anastomotic complications. There were no major complications. All patients were discharged between the 8th and 15th day after the procedure, and the stoma was closed 3 wk to 4 wk later. CONCLUSION: We believe that our proposed modification of end-loop ileostomy is a simple, quick and safe technique with minimal stoma-related morbidity, and with simple and safe reversion. This technique can be considered as a useful option in the treatment of ischemic or radiation-induced enteritis, and in the management of severe intestinal trauma.展开更多

A double-channeled therapeutic endoscope was introduced perorally into the stomach. A gastrostomy was made using a 2-cmtransversal mucosal incision following the creation of a 5-cm longitudinal pelvis-directed submucosal tunnel. The pneumoperitoneum was established via the endoscope. In the initial three operations of the series, a laparoscope was transumbilically inserted for guiding the tunnel direction, intraperitoneal spatial orientation and distal ileum identification. Endoscopic tube ileostomy was conducted by adopting an introducer method and using a Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Catheter Kit equipped with the Loop Fixture. The distal tip of the 15 Fr catheter was placed toward the proximal limb of the ileum to optimize intestinal content drainage. Finally, the tunnel entrance of the gastrostomy was closed using nylon endoloops with the aid of a twin grasper. The gross and histopathological integrity of gastrostomy closure and the abdominal wall-ileum stoma tract formation were assessed 1 wk after the operation.RESULTS Transgastric endoscopic tube ileostomy was successful in all six pigs, without major bleeding. The mean operating time was 71 min(range: 60-110 min). There were no intraoperative complications or hemodynamic instability. The post-mortem, which was conducted 1-wk postoperatively, showed complete healing of the gastrostomy and adequate stoma tract formation of ileostomy.CONCLUSION Transgastric endoscopic tube ileostomy is technically feasible and reproducible in an animal model, and this technique is worthy of further improvement.展开更多

A rare and late complication of this treatment is carcinoma arising at the ileostomy site. We describe two such cases: a 78-year-old male 30 years after subtotal colectomy and ileostomy for FAP, and an 85-year-old male 50 years after colectomy and ileostomy for ulcerative colitis. The long latency period between creation of the ileostomies and development of carcinoma suggests a chronic metaplasia due to an irritating/inflammatory causative factor. Surgical excision of the mass and relocation of the stoma is the mainstay of therapy, with possible benefits from adjuvant chemotherapy. Newly developed lesions at stoma sites should be biopsied to rule out the possibility of this rare ileostomy complication.展开更多

The aim of this retrospective comparative study was to assess three different techniques of loop support. Methods: The study included 65 pa- tients who had loop ileostomy or colostomy formed. Depending on the decision of the operating surgeon, one of three techniques was chosen to fixate the stoma loop: an epicutaneous plastic rod (group 1, n = 14), an epicutaneous suture-fixated silicone drain (group 2, n = 27), or a subcutaneous silicone drain (group 3, n = 24). Results: The majority of patients (85%) received loop ileostomy. Pain intensity was significantly (p = 0.0014) different among the three groups. A total of 19 patients (30%) suffered a complication. There was a tendency towards less complications if the stoma was secured by a silicone drain with epicutaneous fixation. Comfort with stoma care was significantly different, with group 3 experiencing the best results. Conclusions: Using a subcutaneously tunnelled silicon drain as a stoma bridge results in less complications, less pain and higher satisfaction as compared to the conventional plastic rod. Conventional plastic rods should be avoided.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND At present,prophylactic ileostomy is commonly used to protect distal intestinal anastomoses,particularly during the recovery period following colorectal surgery.However,after the ileum is returned to the abdominal cavity,abdominal closure using traditional vertical interrupted suturing is associated with a higher incidence of wound infections.For patients undergoing ileostomy closure,selecting an appropriate suturing method for the skin incision at the stoma site is crucial for improving patient prognosis.AIM To investigate the impact of three different skin suturing methods at the ileostomy closure site on patient prognosis.METHODS Thirty patients who underwent ileostomy closure at the Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University between January 2024 and October 2024 were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.The patients were divided into three groups:The purse-string suture group,the cross-suture group,and the vertical interrupted suture group,with 10 cases in each group.The purse-string suture group,cross-suture group,and vertical interrupted suture group used purse-string,cross,and vertical interrupted suturing methods,respectively,for the skin incision at the ileostomy closure site.RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences among the three groups in terms of operative time,intraoperative blood loss,time to resume liquid diet,time to first bowel movement,postoperative hospital stay,hospitalization costs,or levels of white blood cell count,hemoglobin,and albumin on the third postoperative day(P>0.05).Nevertheless,significant differences(P<0.05)were observed in incision suture removal time,wound healing time,C-reactive protein levels on the third postoperative day,visual analog scale pain scores during the first three postoperative days,and the incidence of surgical site infection.Overall,the therapeutic outcomes of the pursestring suture group and the cross-suture group were superior to the vertical interrupted suture group.CONCLUSION Using purse-string or cross-suturing methods for skin incision at the ileostomy closure site can shorten wound healing and suture removal times,reduce surgical site infection incidence and postoperative inflammatory response,alleviate incision pain,and promote rapid postoperative recovery.

文摘BACKGROUND There is an increased maturation of laparoscopic intracorporeal anastomosis techniques.However,research on its application for small bowel stoma reversal in patients with Crohn's disease(CD)is limited.Therefore,in this study,we compared the perioperative outcomes between laparoscopic intracorporeal ileostomy reversal(LIIR)and open ileostomy reversal(OIR).AIM To compare the safety,feasibility,bowel function recovery,and short-and longterm LIIR and OIR outcomes in patients with CD.METHODS This study included patients who underwent ileal reversal for CD between January 2021 and January 2023 at our institution.The baseline data,postoperative recovery,and complication indicators were retrospectively analyzed.Logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore factors that significantly influenced the development of enteral nutrition intolerance-related symptoms.RESULTS Notably,15 of the 45 patients in this study underwent OIR,and the remaining 30 received LIIR.Notably,no statistically significant differences were found between the two groups regarding clinical baseline characteristics,operation time,intraoperative hemorrhage,anastomotic site,enterolysis range,first postoperative flatus,postoperative complications,reoperation rate,or incidence of postoperative enteral nutrition intolerance.Compared with the OIR group,the LIIR group had a shorter postoperative hospital stay(P=0.045),lower incidence of enteral nutrition intolerance symptoms(P=0.019),and earlier postoperative total enteral nutrition initiation(P=0.033);however,it incurred higher total hospital costs(P=0.038).Furthermore,multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the duration of surgery and anastomotic technique were independent risk factors for postoperative symptoms of enteral nutrition intolerance(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Laparoscopic intracorporeal anastomosis for ileostomy reversal is safe and feasible.Patients who underwent this technique demonstrated improved tolerance to postoperative enteral nutrition and quicker resumption of total enteral nutrition.

文摘BACKGROUND Previous studies have analyzed the risk factors for complications after ileostomy reversal for rectal cancer(RC),but there were significant differences in the reported risk factors for complications after stoma reversal.No studies have analyzed the risk factors for stoma-related complications and overall postoperative com-plications separately.AIM To analyze the risk factors for overall complications and stoma-related complications after ileostomy reversal for patients with RC.METHODS This was a retrospective study of 439 patients who underwent ileostomy reversal at a clinical center and were followed up between September 2012 and September 2022.Continuous variables are expressed as the mean±SD and were analyzed with independent-sample t tests,while frequency variables are expressed as n(%),and theχ2 test or Fisher’s exact test was used.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify predictors of overall complications and stoma-related complications.RESULTS The overall complication rate after ileostomy reversal was 11.4%.Patients with lower preoperative albumin concentration(P<0.01),greater blood loss(P=0.017),and longer operative times(P<0.01)were more likely to experience postoperative complications.The incidence of stoma-related complications was 6.4%.Analysis of the study showed that a higher body mass index(BMI)(P<0.01),preoperative comorbid hypertension(P=0.049),time from primary surgery to ileostomy reversal(P<0.01)and longer operation time(P=0.010)were more likely to result in stomarelated complications postoperatively.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a lower preoperative albumin level(P<0.01,OR=0.888,95%CI:0.828-0.958)was an independent risk factor for overall complications.Moreover,multivariate analysis revealed that BMI(P<0.01,OR=1.176,95%CI:1.041-1.330)and time from primary surgery to ileostomy reversal(P<0.01,OR=1.140,95%CI:1.038-1.252)were independent risk factors for stoma-related complications after stoma reversal.CONCLUSION The preoperative albumin level was a predictor of overall complications.Preoperative BMI and the time from primary surgery to ileostomy reversal were predictors of stoma-related complications.

文摘BACKGROUND Prophylactic loop ileostomy is an effective way to reduce the clinical severity of anastomotic leakage following radical resection of rectal cancer.Incisional surgical site infection(SSI)is a common complication after ileostomy closure.AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the micro-power negative pressure wound technique(MPNPWT)in preventing incisional SSI.METHODS This was a prospective,randomized controlled clinical trial conducted at a single center.A total of 101 consecutive patients who underwent ileostomy closure after rectal cancer surgery with a prophylactic ileostomy were enrolled from January 2019 to December 2021.Patients were randomly allocated into an MPNPWT group and a control group.The MPNPWT group underwent intermittent suturing of the surgical incision with 2-0 Prolene and was covered with a micro-power negative pressure dressing.The surgical outcomes were compared between the MPNPWT(n=50)and control(n=51)groups.Risk factors for incisional SSI were identified using logistic regression.RESULTS There were no differences in baseline characteristics between the MPNPWT(n=50)and control groups(n=51).The incisional SSI rate was significantly higher in the control group than in the MPNPWT group(15.7%vs 2.0%,P=0.031).However,MPNPWT did not affect other surgical outcomes,including intra-abdominal complications,operative time,and blood loss.Postoperative hospital stay length and hospitalization costs did not differ significantly between the two groups(P=0.069 and 0.843,respectively).None of the patients experienced adverse effects of MPNPWT,including skin allergy,dermatitis,and pain.MPNPWT also helped heal the infected incision.Our study indicated that MPNPWT was an independent protective factor[odds ratio(OR)=0.005,P=0.025)]and diabetes was a risk factor(OR=26.575,P=0.029)for incisional SSI.CONCLUSION MPNPWT is an effective and safe way to prevent incisional SSI after loop ileostomy closure.

文摘AIM To retrospectively evaluate the safety and feasibility of surgical specimen extraction via a prophylactic ileostomy procedure in patient with rectal cancer. METHODS We systematically reviewed 331 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic anterior resection for rectal cancer and prophylactic ileostomy in our institution from June 2010 to October 2016, including 155 patients who underwent specimen extraction via a prophylactic ileostomy procedure(experimental group), and 176 patients who underwent specimen extraction via a small lower abdominal incision(control group). Clinical data were collected from both groups andstatistically analyzed. RESULTS The two groups were matched in clinical characteristics and pathological outcomes. However, mean operative time was significantly shorter in the experimental group compared to the control group(161.3 ± 21.5 min vs 168.8 ± 20.5 min; P = 0.001). Mean estimated blood loss was significantly less in the experimental group(77.4 ± 30.7 mL vs 85.9 ± 35.5 mL; P = 0.020). The pain reported by patients during the first two days after surgery was significantly less in the experimental group than in the control group. No wound infections occurred in the experimental group, but 4.0% of the controls developed wound infections(P = 0.016). The estimated 5-year disease-free survival and overall survival rate were similar between the two groups.CONCLUSION Surgical specimen extraction via a prophylactic ileostomy procedure represents a secure and feasible approach to laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery, and embodies the principle of minimally invasive surgery.
文摘AIM: To study the morbidity and complications as-sociated to ileostomy reversal in colorectal surgery pa-tients, and if these are related to the time of closure. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 93 patients, who had undergone elective ileostomy closure between 2009 and 2013 was performed. Demographic, clinical and surgical variables were reviewed for analysis. All complications were recorded, and classified according to the Clavien-Dindo Classification. Statistical univariate and multivariate analysis was performed, setting a P value of 0.05 for significance.RESULTS: The patients had a mean age of 60.3 years, 58% male. The main procedure for ileostomy cre-ation was rectal cancer(56%), and 37% had received preoperative chemo-radiotherapy. The average delay from creation to closure of the ileostomy was 10.3 mo. Postoperative complications occurred in 40% of the pa-tients, with 1% mortality. The most frequent were ileus(13%) and wound infection(13%). Pseudomembra-nous colitis appeared in 4%. Increased postoperative complications were associated with delay in ileostomyclosure(P = 0.041). Male patients had more complica-tions(P = 0.042), mainly wound infections(P = 0.007). Pseudomembranous colitis was also associated with the delay in ileostomy closure(P = 0.003). End-to-end in-testinal anastomosis without resection was significantly associated with postoperative ileus(P = 0.037). CONCLUSION: Although closure of a protective il-eostomy is a fairly common surgical procedure, it has a high rate of complications, and this must be taken into account when the indication is made. The delay in stoma closure can increase the rate of complications in general, and specifically wound infections and colitis.

文摘BACKGROUND Despite the potential benefits of fecal diversion after low pelvic anastomosis in colorectal surgery, diverting loop ileostomy construction is related to significant rates of complications. AIM To determine potential predictors of high output related complications in patients with diverting loop ileostomy creation after colorectal surgery. METHODS Patients who underwent open and laparoscopic colorectal surgery requiring a diverting loop ileostomy from January 2010 to March 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. We included patients older than 18 years, who underwent colorectal surgery with primary low pelvic anastomosis, and with the creation of a diverting loop ileostomy, at elective or emergency settings for the treatment of benign or malignant conditions. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the effect of the potential predictors on the rate of high output related complications. The high output related complications were dehydration and acute renal failure that required visits to the emergency department and hospitalizations. RESULTS Of the 102 patients included in the study, 23.5%(n = 24) suffered high output related complications. In this group of patients at least one visit to the emergency department (mean 1.6), and at least one readmission to the hospital was needed. The factors associated with high-output ileostomy, in the univariate analysis, were: urgent surgical intervention (OR = 2.6;P = 0.047), the development of postoperative complications (OR = 3;P = 0.024), have ulcerative colitis (OR = 4.8;P = 0.017), use of steroids (OR = 4.3;P = 0.010), mean output at discharge greater than 1000 mL/24 h (OR = 3.2;P = 0.016), and use of loperamide at discharge (OR = 2.8;P = 0.032). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified two independent risk factors for high output related complications: ulcerative colitis [OR = 7.6 (95%CI: 1.81-31.95);P = 0.006], and ileostomy output at discharge ≥ 1000 mL/24 h [OR = 3.3 (1.18-9.37);P = 0.023]. CONCLUSION In our study, patients with ulcerative colitis and those with an ileostomy output above 1000 mL/24 h at discharge, were at increased risk of high output related complications.

文摘BACKGROUND Although minimally invasive surgery is becoming more commonly applied for ileostomy reversal(IR),there have been relatively few studies of IR for patients with Crohn's disease(CD).It is therefore important to evaluate the potential benefits and risks of laparoscopy for patients with CD.AIM To compare the safety,feasibility,and short-term and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic IR(LIR)vs open IR(OIR)for the treatment of CD.METHODS The baseline characteristics,operative data,and short-term(30-d)and long-term outcomes of patients with CD who underwent LIR and OIR at our institution between January 2017 and January 2020 were retrieved from an electronic database and retrospectively reviewed.RESULTS Of the 60 patients enrolled in this study,LIR was performed for 48 and OIR for 12.There were no statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics,operation time,intraoperative blood loss,days to flatus and soft diet,postoperative complications,hospitalization time,readmission rate within 30 d,length of hospitalization,hospitalization costs,or reoperation rate after IR between the two groups.However,patients in the LIR group more frequently required lysis of adhesions as compared to those in the OIR group(87.5%vs 41.7%,respectively,P<0.05).Notably,following exclusion of patients who underwent enterectomy plus IR,OIR was more advantageous in terms of postoperative recovery of gastrointestinal function and hospitalization costs.CONCLUSION The safety and feasibility of LIR for the treatment of CD are comparable to those of OIR with no increase in intraoperative or postoperative complications.
文摘Continent ileostomy can be defined as a surgical procedure that facilitates planned intermittent evacuation of a bowel reservoir through an ileostomy.It was devised by Nils Kock in 1969.Subsequently,continent ileostomy (or Kock pouch) became a viable alternative in the management of patients who had traditionally required an end ileostomy.Kock pouch appeared to provide substantial physical and psychosocial benefits over a conventional ileostomy.The procedure became popular until ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) was introduced in 1980.Despite its benefits,continent ileostomy had many short term complications including intubation problems,ileus,anastomotic leaks,peritonitis and valve problems.Operative mortalities have also been reported in the literature.Most of these problems have been eliminated with increasing experience;however,valverelated problems remain as an "Achilles' heel" of the technique.Many modifications have been introduced to prevent this problem.Some patients have had their pouch removed because of complications mainly related to valve dysfunction.Although revision rates can be high,most of the patients who retain their reservoirs are satisfied with regard to their health status and quality of life.Today,this procedure is still appropriate for selected patients for whom pouch surgery is not possible or for patients who have failed IPAA.Both the patient and their physician must be highly motivated to accept the risk of failure and the subsequent need for revisional operations.
文摘AIM: To evaluate a new technique of temporary ileal anastomotic stoma, following small bowel resection, in patients where the anastomosis is anticipated to have borderline margins with dubious viability. METHODS: Five patients underwent enterectomy and partially anastomosed end-loop ileostomy at the University Hospital of Larissa between 2000 and 2006. Enterectomy was performed because of conditions such as mesenteric vascular occlusive disease, radiation entritis and small bowel injury. RESULTS: Postoperatively, none of the patients developed any stoma-related or anastomotic complications. There were no major complications. All patients were discharged between the 8th and 15th day after the procedure, and the stoma was closed 3 wk to 4 wk later. CONCLUSION: We believe that our proposed modification of end-loop ileostomy is a simple, quick and safe technique with minimal stoma-related morbidity, and with simple and safe reversion. This technique can be considered as a useful option in the treatment of ischemic or radiation-induced enteritis, and in the management of severe intestinal trauma.

文摘AIM To introduce natural orifice transgastric endoscopic surgery(NOTES) tube ileostomy using pelvis-directed submucosal tunneling endoscopic gastrostomy and endoscopic tube ileostomy.METHODS Six live pigs(three each in the non-survival and survival groups) were used. A double-channeled therapeutic endoscope was introduced perorally into the stomach. A gastrostomy was made using a 2-cmtransversal mucosal incision following the creation of a 5-cm longitudinal pelvis-directed submucosal tunnel. The pneumoperitoneum was established via the endoscope. In the initial three operations of the series, a laparoscope was transumbilically inserted for guiding the tunnel direction, intraperitoneal spatial orientation and distal ileum identification. Endoscopic tube ileostomy was conducted by adopting an introducer method and using a Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Catheter Kit equipped with the Loop Fixture. The distal tip of the 15 Fr catheter was placed toward the proximal limb of the ileum to optimize intestinal content drainage. Finally, the tunnel entrance of the gastrostomy was closed using nylon endoloops with the aid of a twin grasper. The gross and histopathological integrity of gastrostomy closure and the abdominal wall-ileum stoma tract formation were assessed 1 wk after the operation.RESULTS Transgastric endoscopic tube ileostomy was successful in all six pigs, without major bleeding. The mean operating time was 71 min(range: 60-110 min). There were no intraoperative complications or hemodynamic instability. The post-mortem, which was conducted 1-wk postoperatively, showed complete healing of the gastrostomy and adequate stoma tract formation of ileostomy.CONCLUSION Transgastric endoscopic tube ileostomy is technically feasible and reproducible in an animal model, and this technique is worthy of further improvement.
文摘Total colectomy with ileostomy placement is a treatment for patients with inflammatory bowel disease or familial adenomatous polyposis(FAP). A rare and late complication of this treatment is carcinoma arising at the ileostomy site. We describe two such cases: a 78-year-old male 30 years after subtotal colectomy and ileostomy for FAP, and an 85-year-old male 50 years after colectomy and ileostomy for ulcerative colitis. The long latency period between creation of the ileostomies and development of carcinoma suggests a chronic metaplasia due to an irritating/inflammatory causative factor. Surgical excision of the mass and relocation of the stoma is the mainstay of therapy, with possible benefits from adjuvant chemotherapy. Newly developed lesions at stoma sites should be biopsied to rule out the possibility of this rare ileostomy complication.
文摘Restorative proctocolectomy(RP) is the treatment of choice in patients affected with refractory ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis.Surgery in elective settings is often performed in 2 stages,fashioning an ileostomy which is closed 2-3-mo later.It is still debated whether omitting ileostomy could offer advantages in the management of patients undergoing RP.
文摘BACKGROUND Ileostomies are commonly performed after colon and rectal surgeries.Laparoscopy-assisted ileostomy with adhesion lysis may have potential benefits over conventional open surgery.AIM To compare the outcomes of laparoscopy-assisted and conventional ileostomies.METHODS Data from 48 consecutive patients who underwent ileostomy at our institution between May 2021 and May 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The groups comprised 26 and 22 patients who underwent laparoscopic ileostomy(laparoscopic group)and conventional ileostomy(conventional group),respectively,performed by a single surgeon.Patient demographics,operative characteristics,postoperative outcomes,and 30-d morbidities and mortality rates were analyzed.RESULTS The two groups had comparable mean ages,sex distributions,American Society of Anesthesiologists scores,and body mass indices.However,the laparoscopic group showed similar operative time,better visualization for adhesion lysis,and lower visual analog scale scores than the conventional group.CONCLUSION Laparoscopy-assisted ileostomy is a safe and efficient method that produces lower visual analog scale scores,better intraoperative visualization for effective adhesion lysis,and similar operative time compared with conventional ileostomy.
文摘Purpose: Beside the conventional plastic rods, different techniques and materials have been proposed in the last years to prevent the loop from retraction into the abdominal cavity. The aim of this retrospective comparative study was to assess three different techniques of loop support. Methods: The study included 65 pa- tients who had loop ileostomy or colostomy formed. Depending on the decision of the operating surgeon, one of three techniques was chosen to fixate the stoma loop: an epicutaneous plastic rod (group 1, n = 14), an epicutaneous suture-fixated silicone drain (group 2, n = 27), or a subcutaneous silicone drain (group 3, n = 24). Results: The majority of patients (85%) received loop ileostomy. Pain intensity was significantly (p = 0.0014) different among the three groups. A total of 19 patients (30%) suffered a complication. There was a tendency towards less complications if the stoma was secured by a silicone drain with epicutaneous fixation. Comfort with stoma care was significantly different, with group 3 experiencing the best results. Conclusions: Using a subcutaneously tunnelled silicon drain as a stoma bridge results in less complications, less pain and higher satisfaction as compared to the conventional plastic rod. Conventional plastic rods should be avoided.
文摘Objective: to summarize the nursing of one case of ileostomy with peripheral irritant dermatitis. Methods: one case of ileostomy with peripheral irritant dermatitis was treated with hydrocolloid dressing, combined with colostomy powder and 3M painless skin protective membrane. Discussion: the application of wet healing theory and new dressing can promote the early healing of wound and deal with skin irritating dermatitis. The healing rate is high and the healing time is significantly shortened. Result: it can obviously relieve pain, promote skin growth and wound healing.
文摘In this editorial,we comment on an article by Liu et al.We focus specifically on the novel use of laparoscopic intracorporeal anastomosis(LIA)compared with open ileostomy reversal in patients with Crohn’s disease(CD),which is an innovative approach for improving postoperative outcomes and accelerating recovery in ileostomy reversal procedures.This study also highlights the limitations of the conventional open surgical technique,which is associated with higher rates of feeding intolerance,prolonged hospital stays,and delayed initiation of enteral nutrition.The chronic and recurrent nature of CD and the challenges posed by traditional surgical methods are issues addressed by LIA,which offers a minimally invasive approach that reduces surgical trauma,shortens recovery time,and improves tolerance to enteral nutrition,thereby enhancing postoperative outcomes.However,while LIA shows great promise,further prospective multicenter trials are needed to validate these findings and assess their broader application in other surgical scenarios.Overall,LIA represents a significant advancement in minimally invasive surgery for CD and has the potential to become the preferred standard approach for ileostomy reversal in patients requiring bowel reanastomosis.
文摘BACKGROUND In the treatment of rectal cancer,a temporary loop ileostomy(TLI)is created after low anterior resection to protect bowel function in the postoperative period.Dehydration and kidney failure are significant potential complications in loop ileostomies.Compared to late closure(3-6 months),early closure(10-14 days)of the TLI may facilitate faster patient recovery and shorter hospital stays.AIM To compare early and late closure of TLIs and demonstrate that early stoma closure can be performed without increasing morbidity.METHODS This study included patients who underwent TLI for rectal cancer,with data collected prospectively between June 2016 and October 2024 and analyzed retrospectively.Patients whose stomas were closed in the late period(3-6 months)between June 2016 and October 2022(group A)were compared with those who underwent early closure(10-14 days)between October 2022 and 2024(group B),with the primary outcome being complication rate and the secondary outcome being quality of life.RESULTS A total of 270 TLIs were created(70.9%).Of these,120(44.4%)were closed in the late period(group A),and 150(55.6%)were closed in the early period(group B).There was no statistically significant difference between group A and group B in terms of demographic and clinicopathological characteristics(P>0.05).Perioperative(anesthesia management,operative time,blood loss,surgical technique)and postoperative findings(anastomotic leak,infection)were similar between the two groups and were not statistically significant(P>0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in complication rates as the primary outcome between the two groups.Quality of life as a secondary outcome was significantly higher in the early closure group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION No statistically significant difference was found between early and late loop ileostomy closure in terms of perioperative and postoperative morbidity.Early closure accelerated patients’psychological and social recovery.

文摘Background:Surgical-site infection(SSI)was one of the most common post-operative morbidities of ileostomy reversal.Although several skin-closure procedures had been developed to reduce the rate of SSI,the optimal procedure remains unclear.In this study,we compared the effect of two surgical techniques for wound closure following ileostomy reversal:gunsight suture(GS)and linear suture(LS).Methods:A total of 233 patients who underwent loop ileostomy at the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between January 2015 and December 2017 were enrolled into our study.These patients were divided into two groups:the LS group and the GS group.We compared the clinical characteristics between the two groups and analyzed the data using IBM SPSS to identify risk factors for SSI.Results:Both groups successfully underwent surgery.The rate of SSI was significantly lower in the GS group(n=2,0.02%)than in the LS group(n=16,12.00%,P=0.007).The length of hospital stay after the operation in the GS group was significantly shorter than that in the LS group(8.163.2 vs 10.865.4 days,P<0.001).Multivariate analysis showed that GS was an independent protective risk factor for SSI(odds ratio=0.212,P=0.048).Conclusions:Compared with the LS technique,the GS technique can significantly decrease the rate of SSI and shorten the length of hospital stay after surgery.The GS technique may be recommended for wound closure following ileostomy reversal.
