- Abstract
Introduction: Ileostomy, frequently created after colorectal resections, hinders the physiologic function of the colon and can lead to dehydration and acute kidney injury due to high stoma outputs. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of preventive measures on ileostomy-induced dehydration and related readmissions in a high-volume unit. Methods: In this prospective cohort study at a high-volume colorectal surgery department in Turkiye, the Prospective Ileostomy-induced Dehydration Prevention Bundle Project (PIDBP) was assessed from March 2021 to March 2022. The study enrolled patients undergoing colorectal surgery with ileostomy and involved comprehensive inpatient stoma care, education, and a structured post-discharge follow-up. The follow-up included the "Hydration follow-up scale" to monitor ileostomy output and related complications. The primary outcome was the readmission rate due to dehydration-related complications. The patients receiving the bundle intervention were compared with patients treated in the preceding year, focusing on the effectiveness of interventions such as dietary adjustments, fluid therapy, and pharmacological management. Results: In the study, 104 patients were analyzed, divided into 54 pre-bundle and 50 bundle group patients, with no significant differences in patient characteristics. While the overall readmission rate due to dehydration was 12.5%, a significant reduction in dehydration-related readmissions was observed in the bundle group compared to the pre-bundle group (2% vs. 22%, p = 0.002). Univariate analysis identified high stoma output (> 800 ml/24 h) (p < 0.001), chronic renal failure (CRF) (p = 0.01), postoperative ileus (p = 0.03), higher ASA status (p = 0.04), extended hospital stays (p = 0.03), and small bowel resections (especially in J-pouch patients) (p < 0.001) as significant predictors of readmission. Multivariate analysis revealed that the mean ileostomy output before discharge was the sole significant predictor of dehydration-related readmission (OR 1.01), with an optimal cutoff of 877.5 ml/day identified with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.947, demonstrating high sensitivity (92.3%) and specificity (86.8%) in predicting readmission risk. Conclusion: The Prospective Ileostomy-induced Dehydration Prevention Bundle Project significantly reduced readmission rates after colorectal surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hepatic mobilization is essential in debulking surgery for resecting diaphragmatic lesions in advanced ovarian cancer. However, hepatic mobilization potentially induces postoperative portal vein thrombosis and hepatic infarction. No reports exist regarding these postoperative complications of gynecological surgeries. Thus, we reported a case of portal vein thrombosis and hepatic infarction after ovarian cancer surgery with upper abdominal surgery. The 51‐year‐old female patient who had been diagnosed with advanced ovarian and early endometrial cancer underwent primary debulking surgery. Ultimately, she underwent the following surgical procedures: a hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo‐oophorectomy, total parietal peritonectomy, low anterior resection, ileostomy, and appendicectomy. The hepatic enzymatic and D‐dimer levels were elevated, postoperatively. Contrast‐enhanced computed tomography revealed portal vein thrombosis and an infarction of the hepatic S3 region. The portal vein thrombosis resolved post‐administration of unfractionated heparin. The hepatic infarction improved. Meticulous intra‐ and postoperative management should encompass the deliberation of the potential risk of these postoperative complications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: Diverting Loop Ileostomy (DLI) with intraoperative colonic lavage has emerged as a potential alternative to Total Abdominal Colectomy (TAC) for treating Fulminant Clostridium Difficile Colitis (FCDC). This study aims to provide an updated review comparing DLI with TAC in managing FCDC. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Embase to identify retrospective and prospective studies comparing DLI with TAC for fulminant CDC treatment. A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate postoperative mortality rates and complications using R Studio version 4.4.1, calculating odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals via the Mantel-Haenszel method. Heterogeneity was assessed using the Cochrane Q test and I2 statistics. Results: Our search yielded 228 relevant citations, of which 7 studies with a total of 7,048 patients were included. Of these, 1,728 underwent DLI. The mean age was 63.33 years in the DLI group and 65.74 years in the TAC group. Compared to TAC, DLI had significantly lower postoperative mortality (OR 0.75; 95% CI 0.62–0.90; P = 0.002; I2 = 34%). Trial sequential analysis for postoperative mortality rates showed the benefit of DLI with a sufficiently powered sample. The DLI group also had a significantly higher rate of ostomy reversal (OR 5.68; 95% CI 2.35–13.72; P < 0.001; I2 = 36%). Postoperative complications, such as thromboembolic events, surgical site infections, urinary tract infections, renal failure, and pneumonia, were not significantly different. Conclusion: DLI shows a lower postoperative mortality rate and higher ostomy reversal rate than TAC, suggesting it as a potential organ-preserving, minimally invasive alternative. Further high-quality studies and trials are needed to confirm these findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The partial diversion of intestinal contents facilitates achieving and maintaining weight loss and improving glycemic control in patients with obesity and with or without T2DM. The purpose of this study is to report our experience and 1-year follow-up with novel modification of SADI-S. Methods: This study is a part of a multicentric trial of patients that underwent primary side-to-side duodeno-ileostomy and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) with GT metabolic solutions magnetic anastomosis system. Feasibility, safety, and initial efficacy were evaluated. Results: The mean age of the patients included was 48 ± 8.75 years and the preoperative BMI was 43.32 ± 2.82 kg/m
2 . The complications were present in 30% of patients. The anastomosis patency was confirmed by the passage of radiological contrast under fluoroscopy at a mean of 17 days (17–29 days), and the mean expulsion time was 42 days (32–62). The mean diameter of the anastomosis after the magnet expulsion was 13.8 × 11.4 mm. The percentage of total weight lost at 1 year was 38.68 ± 8.48% (p < 0.001). The percentage of excess weight loss 82.5 ± 18.44% (p < 0.001) and improvements in glucose profiles were observed. Mean baseline HbA1c 5.77 ± 0.31% was reduced to 5.31 ± 0.26% (p < 0.024). Conclusions: Latero-lateral duodeno-ileostomy + SG with magnetic duodenal bipartition is afeasible and reasonably safe technique and induces weight loss in patients with obesity and improvement of glycemic control. This modification could be considered as an option to standard SADI-S or as a first step in two stages procedure. However, larger studies are needed.

Background Methods Results Conclusion Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer and the second highest cause of cancer mortality in Australia. Despite advances in colorectal surgery, anastomotic leak still occurs in low‐risk patients and is a substantial cause of morbidity and mortality. Many operative strategies are used to assess anastomotic integrity such as an air leak test or intraoperative flexible sigmoidoscopy, however an objective anastomotic checklist is yet to be developed and studied. This study aims to develop a photodocumentary anastomotic specific checklist and determine its feasibility for implementation.Patients undergoing left sided colorectal resections with primary anastomosis without a de‐functioning ileostomy were prospectively included between May 2021 and December 2022. A photographic checklist assessing anastomotic perfusion, integrity via either air test or endoscopic image, evidence of complete operative doughnut specimens and the assessment of tension was implemented. The feasibility of an anastomotic checklist was externally validated by four independent colorectal surgeons from Australia, New Zealand and United States of America.The anastomotic checklist was completed in 44 patients. Mean age was 62 years, with 43% male and mean BMI 28. Operations included high anterior resection (45%), low anterior resection (18%), ultra‐low anterior resection (20%), reversal of Hartmann's (11%). Median length of stay was 4 days. Complications post operatively were documented in six patients with anastomotic leak in 2% and wound infection in 6.8%. Intraclass correlation coefficients were poor amongst all reviewers with air leak and tension having no inter‐reviewer correlation.The introduction of an anastomotic checklist was a feasible tool to systematically assess and document anastomotic integrity. Unfortunately, with the small sample size there was significant discrepancy in inter‐observer variability, and this led to poor correlation regarding which patients were typically high risk requiring a temporary ileostomy. Larger studies on the implementation of an anastomotic checklist will be needed to evaluate if it is an inherently feasible approach and if there is an effect on anastomotic leak.

Background: Needlescopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that uses thin trocars with 3-mm diameter. We used Turnbull–Cutait pull-through and delayed coloanal anastomosis in needlescopic surgery to avoid diverting ileostomy during intersphincteric resection for low rectal cancer. In this study, we aim to assess the diverting ileostomy avoidance rate and technical safety of this "minimal skin incision and no stoma" procedure. Methods: This single-center retrospective study was conducted at the Cancer Institute Hospital, a tertiary referral center in Japan. Between January 2017 and December 2020, 11 patients underwent needlescopic intersphincteric resection with diverting ileostomy (NSI group), and 19 patients underwent needlescopic intersphincteric resection with delayed coloanal anastomosis (NSD group) for low rectal cancer. Data regarding patient backgrounds and short-term outcomes, including diverting ileostomy avoidance rate, pathological results, and postoperative defecatory function, were compared between the groups. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the NSI and NSD groups with respect to patient background, operation time (239 min versus 220 min, p = 0.68), estimated blood loss (45 g versus 25 g, p = 0.29), R0 resection rate (100% versus 100%, p = 1.00), and length of postoperative hospital stay (16 days versus 17 days, p = 0.42). The diverting ileostomy avoidance rate was 94.4% in the NSD group. The LARS and Wexner scores 12 months after surgery were not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusions: Needlescopic intersphincteric resection and delayed coloanal anastomosis can be safely performed in selected patients with a high rate of diverting ileostomy avoidance and comparable short-term outcomes.

Introduction: Crohn's disease can present with complex surgical pathologies, posing a significant risk of morbidity and mortality for patients. The implementation of a loop ileostomy for selected patients may help minimize associated risks. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we investigated the utilization of temporary fecal diversion through the creation of a loop ileostomy in Crohn's surgery. Closure of all ostomies involved a hand-sewn single-layer technique. We then conducted bivariate analysis on 30-day outcomes for closures, focusing on favorable recovery defined as the restoration of bowel continuity without the occurrence of two challenges in recovery: newly developed organ dysfunction or the necessity for reoperation. Results: In total, 168 patients were included. The median age of the patients was 38 years (IQR 27–51). The most common indication for a loop ostomy was peritonitis (49%). After ileostomy closure, 163 patients (97%) achieved favorable recovery, while five encountered challenges; four (2.4%) underwent abdominal surgery, and one (0.6%) developed acute renal failure requiring dialysis. Two patients (1.2%) had a re-creation of ileostomy. Patients encountering challenges were older (56 [IQR 41–61] vs. 37 [IQR 27–50]; p 0.039) and more often required secondary intention wound healing (40% vs. 6.7%; p 0.049) and postoperative parenteral nutrition following their index surgery (83% vs. 26%; p 0.006). Conclusion: Selectively staging the Crohn's disease operations with a loop ileostomy is a reliable practice with low morbidity and high restoration rates of bowel continuity. Our hand-sewn single-layer technique proves effective in achieving successful surgical recovery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe gastrointestinal problem that predominantly affects premature babies. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate patients who underwent surgical treatment for NEC and newborns who initially recovered with medical treatment but later developed a stricture and required surgery. Materials and Methods: We analyzed patients diagnosed with NEC between January 2009 and December 2021. Our study included patients who developed strictures after initially receiving medical treatment for NEC and subsequently underwent surgery. Demographic findings, mother's age, gestational weeks, birth weight, type of birth, postnatal age at NEC diagnosis, pH, first C-reactive protein (CRP) after onset of symptoms, leukocytes, hemoglobin and thrombocytes at the onset of NEC, echocardiography results, age at surgery, blood values before surgery, surgery technique, and outcomes were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Out of 40 patients who underwent primary surgery for NEC during the newborn period, 6 patients underwent surgery after initially receiving medical treatment. The female-to-male ratio was 15/31, and the median gestational age was 29 weeks. The median mother's age was 30 years, and the median birth weight was 1097g. The median postnatal age at NEC onset was 6 days (range 2-39). Echocardiography was performed in 43 patients, with 6 showing normal results and 28 having congenital cardiac anomalies. The median surgery day for patients who underwent primary surgery for NEC was 19 days (range 2-90). Ileostomy was performed in 26 patients, colostomy in 8 patients, and ileostomy plus colostomy in 1 patient. Surgery was conducted in 6 out of 392 patients who developed post- NEC strictures after initial medical treatment. Comparison between post-NEC stricture patients and those who underwent surgery for NEC revealed significant differences only in the age at surgery (p=0.024). Conclusion: Patients who clinically experience NEC should be considered for the development of strictures, especially in cases of prolonged feeding intolerance, distention, gastric residual, and rectal bleeding. Therefore, close follow-up and multidisciplinary approaches are crucial, and contrast barium radiography should be the initial diagnostic step. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Despite widespread adoption of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) in rectal cancer resection, there remains limited knowledge of its clinical advantage over laparoscopic (Lap) and open (OS) surgery. We aimed to compare clinical outcomes of RAS with Lap and OS for rectal cancer. Methods: We identified all patients aged ≥ 18 years who had elective rectal cancer resection requiring temporary or permanent stoma formation from 1/2013 to 12/2020 from the PINC AI™ Healthcare Database. We completed multivariable logistic regression analysis accounting for hospital clustering to compare ileostomy formation between surgical approaches. Next, we built inverse probability of treatment-weighted analyses to compare outcomes for ileostomy and permanent colostomy separately. Outcomes included postoperative complications, in-hospital mortality, discharge to home, reoperation, and 30-day readmission. Results: A total of 12,787 patients (OS: 5599 [43.8%]; Lap: 2872 [22.5%]; RAS: 4316 [33.7%]) underwent elective rectal cancer resection. Compared to OS, patients who had Lap (OR 1.29, p < 0.001) or RAS (OR 1.53, p < 0.001) were more likely to have an ileostomy rather than permanent colostomy. In those with ileostomy, RAS was associated with fewer ileus (OR 0.71, p < 0.001) and less bleeding (OR 0.50, p < 0.001) compared to Lap. In addition, RAS was associated with lower anastomotic leak (OR 0.25, p < 0.001), less bleeding (OR 0.51, p < 0.001), and fewer blood transfusions (OR 0.70, p = 0.022) when compared to OS. In those patients who had permanent colostomy formation, RAS was associated with fewer ileus (OR 0.72, p < 0.001), less bleeding (OR 0.78, p = 0.021), lower 30-day reoperation (OR 0.49, p < 0.001), and higher discharge to home (OR 1.26, p = 0.013) than Lap, as well as OS. Conclusion: Rectal cancer patients treated with RAS were more likely to have an ileostomy rather than a permanent colostomy and more enhanced recovery compared to Lap and OS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The objective of this report is to identify and characterize cases of fibrosing colonopathy, a rare and underrecognized adverse event, associated with cysteamine delayed-release (DR) in patients with nephropathic cystinosis. Methods: We searched the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) and the medical literature for postmarketing reports of fibrosing colonopathy associated with cysteamine through August 2, 2023. Results: We identified four cases of fibrosing colonopathy reported with the use of cysteamine DR. The time to onset ranged from 12 to 31 months. In one case, the patient required surgery to have a resection of a section of the strictured colon and a diverting ileostomy. Fibrosing colonopathy was diagnosed by histopathology in two of the cases. Conclusions: Our case series identified the risk of fibrosing colonopathy in patients taking cysteamine DR and prompted regulatory action by the FDA. As outlined in changes to the U.S. prescribing information for cysteamine DR, healthcare professionals should be aware of the potential risk of fibrosing colonopathy with cysteamine DR, especially as symptoms can be non-specific leading to misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis. If the diagnosis of fibrosing colonopathy is confirmed, consideration should be given to permanently discontinuing cysteamine DR and switching to cysteamine immediate-release treatment.

Introduction: Hepatic portal venous gas is an extremely rare symptom of gas accumulation in the portal venous system. This disease has an acute onset, a rapid progression, and an extremely high mortality rate. This report describes a patient with mesenteric and hepatic portal venous gas caused by intestinal microbiota disturbance–induced gut-derived infection after ileostomy. The patient recovered and was discharged after conservative treatment. Nursing management of patients with mesenteric and hepatic portal venous gas is discussed. Clinical Findings: A 76-year-old patient developed septic shock, paralytic intestinal obstruction, and mesenteric and hepatic portal venous gas after undergoing ileostomy. Diagnosis: Mesenteric and hepatic portal venous gas was diagnosed on the basis of abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography findings. Interventions: The treatment plan included early control of infection, early identification and nursing care of gut-derived infection caused by intestinal microbiota disturbance, early identification of paralytic intestinal obstruction, relief of intestinal obstruction and prevention of intestinal ischemia, and early nutritional support. Outcomes: On day 18 of hospitalization, the patient was transferred to the general ward and resumed eating, producing gas, and defecating. His abdominal signs and infection indicator levels were normal. On day 27, the patient was discharged home. Conclusion: This case provides an in-depth understanding of the care of patients with mesenteric and hepatic portal venous gas and emphasizes the important role of bedside nurses in evaluating and treating these patients. This report may help nurses care for similar patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Stoma patients require continuous support throughout their entire journey with a stoma. Although many Stoma Care Services across the UK offer patient follow-up pathways, there is not one unified pathway. Patients may not be prepared for life with a stoma because, depending on their stoma type, they will have specific needs, and if patients and healthcare professionals are not prepared to manage these stoma-specific needs, complications and hospital readmissions may occur, worsening patients' outcomes and quality of life. Ileostomy patients are known to be more likely to experience complications, including hospital readmissions, and therefore, special care should be taken when preparing these patients for life with a stoma. They should be informed and educated to prevent complications, and if this is not always possible, thye should at least be able to recognise and manage early signs and symptoms of complications. This will empower them to self-care and know when to seek medical attention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Ileostomy creation is a common procedure to mitigate postoperative complications in Crohn's disease (CD) patients. However, the optimal timing for ileostomy closure remains controversial. This study aims to investigate whether delayed ileostomy closure (> 6 months post formation) affects postoperative complications compared to early closure (≤ 6 months post formation). Consecutive CD patients who underwent ileostomy reversal at a tertiary care center between January 1, 2013, and December 1, 2021, were included. The study compared patients who underwent early ileostomy closure to matched patients undergoing delayed ileostomy closure. The 90-day postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. The study included 352 eligible patients for ileostomy reversion. Our data showed that patients undergoing delayed ileostomy closure had higher incidence of ileostomy-related infectious complications (12% vs. 4%, p = 0.008), a longer postoperative hospital stay (10 days with an IQR of 7–12 days versus 8 days with an IQR of 7–11 days, p = 0.024), and increased rate of ileus (28% versus 15%, p = 0.003). There were 256 patients included after 1:1 propensity score matching. The results revealed no significant differences in postoperative hospital stay, infectious or non-infectious complications except for a statistically significant increase in the incidence of ileus in the delayed closure group (p = 0.01). Patients undergoing delayed ileostomy closure has similar outcomes to early closure in terms of postoperative complications, except for a higher incidence of ileus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: This current study attempted to investigate whether one-stitch method (OM) of temporary ileostomy influenced the stoma-related complications after laparoscopic low anterior resection (LLAR). Methods: We searched for eligible studies in four databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and CNKI from inception to July 20, 2023. Both surgical outcomes and stoma-related complications were compared between the OM group and the traditional method (TM) group. The Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (NOS) was adopted for quality assessment. RevMan 5.4 was conducted for data analyzing. Results: Totally 590 patients from six studies were enrolled in this study (272 patients in the OM group and 318 patients in the TM group). No significant difference was found in baseline information (P > 0.05). Patients in the OM group had shorter operative time in both the primary LLAR surgery (MD = − 17.73, 95%CI = − 25.65 to − 9.80, P < 0.01) and the stoma reversal surgery (MD = − 18.70, 95%CI = − 22.48 to −14.92, P < 0.01) than patients in the TM group. There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss of the primary LLAR surgery (MD = − 2.92, 95%CI = − 7.15 to 1.32, P = 0.18). Moreover, patients in the OM group had fewer stoma-related complications than patients in the TM group (OR = 0.55, 95%CI = 0.38 to 0.79, P < 0.01). Conclusion: The OM group had shorter operation time in both the primary LLAR surgery and the stoma reversal surgery than the TM group. Moreover, the OM group had less stoma-related complications.

- Abstract
Introduction: Intestinal stomas are one of the most common parts of pediatric surgical care, and complications arising from it have significant impact on overall patient outcomes. However, data on major complications in low–middle-income countries remain limited. This pilot retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the prevalence, types, and management of major stoma complications in pediatric patients at a tertiary government hospital in the Philippines. Methods: Medical records of pediatric patients with major stoma complications classified as Clavien–Dindo III–V from June 2018 to June 2023 were reviewed. Patient-related factors (age, sex, diagnosis) and surgery-related factors (stoma type and location, surgeon expertise) were analyzed. Descriptive statistics characterized demographic profiles, while Chi-square and t tests analyzed categorical and continuous variables, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression evaluated independent associations with major stoma complications. Results: Out of 1041 pediatric patients with stomas, 102 cases had major complications, representing a prevalence rate of 9.8%. Mortality directly attributed to stoma complications accounted for 1.3% of the total cases, or 14 deaths in 5 years. Neonates comprised a significant portion, primarily diagnosed with congenital conditions like anorectal malformation and Hirschsprung’s disease. Ileostomies exhibited a higher incidence of major complications compared to other stoma types. Stomal prolapse and adhesive bowel obstruction are the most common reported stoma complications requiring surgical intervention while stoma revision is the most frequent corrective procedure. The median time from stoma creation to presentation of major complication was 14 months, with nearly half of the complications occurring within the first year. Only the presence of ileostomy had significant association with the development of major complications among the risk factors analyzed. Conclusions: This study provides useful insights into stoma complications in pediatric patients in a low–middle income country. Despite the lack of significant associations between the patient-related and surgeon-related factors, and major stoma complications, further investigation into other contributing factors is warranted. Improvements in data collection methods and prospective studies with larger sample sizes are recommended to enhance understanding and optimize care of major stoma complications. Addressing the challenges identified in this study could lead to a comprehensive and tailored approach to pediatric stoma care and their complications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: For patients with rectal cancer, the utilization of temporary ileostomy (TI) has proven effective in minimizing the occurrence of severe complications post-surgery, such as anastomotic leaks; however, some patients are unable to reverse in time or even develop a permanent stoma (PS). We aimed to determine the preoperative predictors associated with TS failure and develop and validate appropriate predictive models to improve patients' quality of life. Methods: This research included 403 patients with rectal cancer who underwent temporary ileostomies between January 2017 and December 2021. All patients were randomly divided into either the developmental (70%) or validation (30%) group. The independent risk factors for PS were determined using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Subsequently, a nomogram was constructed, and the prediction probability was estimated by calculating the area under the curve (AUC) using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. A calibration plot was used to evaluate the nomogram calibration. Results: Of the 403 enrolled patients, 282 were randomized into the developmental group, 121 into the validation group, and 58 (14.39%) had a PS. The development group consisted of 282 patients, of whom 39 (13.81%) had a PS. The validation group consisted of 121 patients, of whom, 19 (15.70%) had a PS; 37 related factors were analyzed in the study. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated significant associations between the occurrence of PS and various factors in this patient cohort, including tumor location (OR = 6.631, P = 0.005), tumor markers (OR = 2.309, P = 0.035), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score (OR = 4.784, P = 0.004), T4 stage (OR = 2.880, P = 0.036), lymph node metastasis (OR = 4.566, P = 0.001), and distant metastasis (OR = 4.478, P = 0.036). Furthermore, a preoperative nomogram was constructed based on these data and subsequently validated in an independent validation group. Conclusion: We identified six independent preoperative risk factors associated with PS following rectal cancer resection and developed a validated nomogram with an area under the ROC curve of 0.7758, which can assist surgeons in formulating better surgical options, such as colostomy, for patients at high risk of PS.

Purpose: Adequate preoperative information is known to improve patient outcomes. We aimed to evaluate perioperative education for paediatric patients and families undergoing intestinal stoma formation. Methods: UK paediatric surgery centres were invited to recruit patients aged 6–16 years with a stoma in situ or reversed within the last 2 years. Patient and parent questionnaires were posted for potential participants. Results: Eighty-three patient/parent dyads returned questionnaires. Median age was 11.5 years (range 4.1–17.8), with 48% (n = 40) formed electively. Parents rated how well-informed they felt perioperatively out of 10 (0 poorly, 10 highly informed). Parents were better informed about surgical issues and stoma care than psychological and social impacts (7.45 vs 6.11; p < 0.0001). 54% reported surgical complications but significantly fewer patients listed these amongst the worst things about having a stoma (24.4%) when compared with psychosocial issues: distress from bag leaks (90.8%; p < 0.0001), self-consciousness (54.1%; p = 0.0001), and restricted activity (40.2%; p = 0.03). Conclusion: Parents felt well-informed for medical and practical aspects but less well-informed of psychological and lifestyle impacts of having a stoma. Surgical complications were less important to patients than the impact on daily life. Increased psychosocial information would enable families to be better prepared for life with a stoma.

Background: In this study, we aimed to identify the risk factors in patients with rectal anastomotic re-leakage and develop a prediction model to predict the probability of rectal anastomotic re-leakage after stoma closure. Methods: This study was a single-center retrospective analysis of patients with rectal cancer who underwent surgery between January 2010 and December 2020. Among 3225 patients who underwent Total or Partial Mesorectal Excision (TME/PME) surgery for rectal cancer, 129 who experienced anastomotic leakage following stoma closure were enrolled. Risk factors for rectal anastomotic re-leakage were analyzed, and a prediction model was established for rectal anastomotic re-leakage. Results: Anastomotic re-leakage after stoma closure developed in 13.2% (17/129) of patients. Multivariable analysis revealed that neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (odds ratio, 4.07; 95% confidence interval, 1.17–14.21; p = 0.03), blood loss > 50 ml (odds ratio, 4.52; 95% confidence interval, 1.31–15.63; p = 0.02), and intersphincteric resection (intersphincteric resection vs. low anterior resection: odds ratio, 6.85; 95% confidence interval, 2.01–23.36; p = 0.002) were independent risk factors for anastomotic re-leakage. A nomogram was constructed to predict the probability of anastomotic re-leakage, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.828 in the cohort. Predictive results correlated with the actual results according to the calibration curve. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, blood loss > 50 ml, and intersphincteric resection are independent risk factors for anastomotic re-leakage following stoma closure. The nomogram can help surgeons identify patients at a higher risk of rectal anastomotic re-leakage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: We assessed feasibility and safety of laparoscopic sigmoidectomy for complicated fistulizing diverticular disease in a tertiary care colorectal center. Methods: A single-center retrospective study of patients undergoing sigmoidectomy for fistulizing diverticular disease between 2011 and 2021 was realized. Primary outcomes were rates of conversion to open surgery and severe postoperative morbidity at 30 days. Secondary outcomes included rates of postoperative bladder leaks on cystogram. Results: Among the 104 patients, 32.7% had previous laparotomy. Laparoscopy was the initial approach in 103 (99.0%), with 6 (5.8%) conversions to laparotomy. Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ III complication rate at 30 days was 10.6%, including two (1.9%) anastomotic leaks. The median postoperative length of stay was 4.0 days. Seven (6.7%) patients underwent reoperation, six (5.8%) were readmitted, and one (0.9%) died within 30 days. Twelve (11.5%) ileostomies were created initially, and two (1.9%) were created following anastomotic leaks. At last follow-up, 101 (97.1%) patients were stoma-free. Urgent surgeries had a higher rate of severe postoperative complications. Among colovesical fistula patients (n = 73), postoperative cystograms were performed in 56.2%, identifying two out of the three bladder leaks detected on closed suction drains. No differences in postoperative outcomes occurred between groups with and without postoperative cystograms, including Foley catheter removal within seven days (73.2% vs. 90.6%, p = 0.08). Conclusions: Laparoscopic surgery for complicated fistulizing diverticulitis showed low rates of severe complications, conversions to open surgery and permanent stomas in high-volume colorectal center.

Aim: The aim of this work was to investigate the association between early postoperative anastomotic leakage or pelvic abscess (AL/PA) and symptomatic anastomotic stenosis (SAS) in patients after surgery for left colonic diverticulitis. Method: This is a retrospective study based on a national cohort of diverticulitis surgery patients carried out by the Association Française de Chirurgie. The assessment was performed using path analyses. The database included 7053 patients operated on for colonic diverticulitis, with surgery performed electively or in an emergency, by open access or laparoscopically. Patients were excluded from the study analysis where there was (i) right‐sided diverticulitis (the initial database included all consecutive patients operated on for colonic diverticulitis), (ii) no anastomosis was performed during the first procedure or (iii) missing information about stenosis, postoperative abscess or anastomotic leakage. Results: Of the 4441 patients who were included in the final analysis, AL/PA occurred in 327 (4.6%) and SAS occurred in 82 (1.8%). AL/PA was a significant independent factor associated with a risk for occurrence of SAS (OR = 3.41, 95% CI = 1.75–6.66), as was the case for diverting stoma for ≥100 days (OR = 2.77, 95% CI = 1.32–5.82), while central vessel ligation proximal to the inferior mesenteric artery was associated with a reduced risk (OR = 0.41; 95% CI = 0.19–0.88). Diverting stoma created for <100 days or ≥100 days was also a factor associated with a risk for AL/PA (OR = 3.08, 95% CI = 2–4.75 and OR = 12.95, 95% CI = 9.11–18.50). Interestingly, no significant association between radiological drainage or surgical management of AL/PA and SAS could be highlighted. Conclusion: AL/PA was an independent factor associated with the risk for SAS. The treatment of AL/PA was not associated with the occurrence of anastomotic stenosis. Diverting stoma was associated with an increased risk of both AL/PA and SAS, especially if it was left for ≥100 days. Physicians must be aware of this information in order to decide on the best course of action when creating a stoma during elective or emergency surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Loop ileostomy reversal (LIR) procedure is still associated with a relatively high risk of complications. Surgical site infection (SSI) is the most common complication in this group of patients. SSI leads to prolonged hospital stays, delays the adjuvant therapy, and increases hospital costs. Aim: The aim of the study was to analyze the risk factors for SSI in patients following loop ileostomy reversal procedure. Material and methods: A single-center retrospective analysis was conducted in a tertiary reference center. Finally, 65 patients following loop ileostomy reversal procedure performed between 2018 and 2022 were enrolled in the study. Data were collected retrospectively based on the available medical charts. The study group comprised 23 women (35%) and 42 men (65%) with a mean age of 48.9 ±14.5 years and a mean body mass index of 24.3 ±4.9 kg/m². The most common indication for index surgery was ulcerative colitis (33%) and colorectal cancer (29%). Preferably, handsewn anastomosis was performed (n = 42; 64.6%). Results: The most important parameter evaluated in the above study was the diagnosis of surgical site infection, which influenced e.g. hospitalization after surgery, the need for antibiotic therapy, or C-reactive protein (CRP) values. Nine patients (13.8%) were diagnosed with SSI during their hospital stay (more than 86% without SSI). In the group with SSI, hospital stay exceeded 13 days compared to almost 6 days in the group without SSI (P = 0.00009). The time of the procedure had a statistically significant correlation with antibiotic therapy introduction (P = 0.01). The type of intestinal anastomosis had a significant impact on the operative time (P = 0.0011) and the time of hospital stay after surgery (P = 0.04). Conclusions: Most of the analyzed clinical factors were directly related to the impact on the duration of postoperative hospitalization. The duration of hospitalization is an independent and undeniable factor increasing the risk of other postoperative complications and significantly increasing the cost of hospitalization. Another factor that has a large clinical impact on postoperative treatment is the presence of comorbidities which make patients more likely to develop SSI, CRP increase, or the need for antibiotic therapy. An important factor was the level of CRP, the elevated value of which may be a predictor of many negative aspects in postoperative treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The modified Graham patch repair is a well-established technique for management of perforating foregut injuries, often learned by surgeons during general surgery training. There is, however, little to no data regarding the utilization of this technique for perforation of the distal midgut or in the re-operative field. We present two cases of midgut anastomotic complications successfully managed with modified graham patch repair at our institution. The first case is a 79-year-old female who underwent an emergent right hemicolectomy at an outside institution for management of an iatrogenic perforation during endoscopic polypectomy. Over the course of two years she underwent numerous abdominal operations, due to various complications, ultimately resulting in multiple resections and end ileostomy creation. She then had her ileostomy reversed by laparoscopic single incision (SILS) technique at our institution. This was also complicated by anastomotic leak. Intraoperatively, adequate mobilization of the anastomosis for resection was deemed not safe due to dense fibrosis and adhesions in the re-operative field; therefore, she underwent a SILS modified Graham patch repair of an ileocolic anastomotic defect with diverting loop ileostomy. Post-operatively, she had no radiographic evidence of leak from the repaired anastomosis, which facilitated successful loop ileostomy reversal five months later. Our second case is a 64-year-old male referred to our institution for management of his stage IV colon cancer. He underwent an open right hemicolectomy and hepatic metastectomy, which was complicated by anastomotic leak. The small defect was repaired via a SILS modified Graham patch technique. Five months postoperatively, he had neither radiographic nor endoscopic evidence of a leak; therefore, he successfully underwent ileostomy reversal without complication. We encourage further investigation and reporting of the role of the modified graham patch repair in management of midgut anastomotic complications, particularly when resection and re-anastomosis is unsafe due to a hostile re-operative field.

(1) Background: In recent years, there has been a change in practice for diverting stomas in rectal cancer surgery, shifting from routine diverting stomas to a more selective approach. Studies suggest that the benefits of temporary ileostomies do not live up to their risks, such as high-output stomas, stoma dysfunction, and reoperation. (2) Methods: All rectal cancer patients treated with a robotic resection in a single tertiary colorectal centre in the UK from 2013 to 2021 were analysed. In 2015, our unit made a shift to a more selective approach to temporary diverting ileostomies. The cohort was divided into a routine diversion group treated before 2015 and a selective diversion group treated after 2015. Both groups were analysed and compared for short-term outcomes and morbidities. (3) Results: In group A, 63/70 patients (90%) had a diverting stoma compared to 98/135 patients (72.6%) in group B (p = 0.004). There were no significant differences between the groups in anastomotic leakages (11.8% vs. 17.8%, p = 0.312) or other complications (p = 0.117). There were also no significant differences in readmission (3.8% vs. 2.6%, p = 0.312) or reoperation (3.8% vs. 2.6%, p = 1.000) after stoma closure. After 1 year, 71.6% and 71.9% (p = 1.000) of patients were stoma-free. One major reason for the delay in stoma reversal was the COVID-19 pandemic, which only occurred in group B (0% vs. 22%, p = 0.054). (4) Conclusions: A more selective approach to diverting stomas for robotic rectal cancer patients does not lead to more complications or leaks and can be considered in the treatment of rectal cancer tumours.

In this study, we introduce a novel method for stoma closure, aiming to reduce wound infection rates. This method involves creating the common channel of both limbs of a loop stoma extracorporeally, which is particularly beneficial during laparoscopic stoma closure surgery by potentially avoiding contamination of the wound. We applied this technique in 23 patients undergoing laparoscopic stoma reversal surgery, comprising both loop colostomy and ileostomy cases. Notably, postoperative outcomes were promising: only two patients experienced postoperative ileus, and importantly, there were no instances of wound infection. These findings suggest that our laparoscopic stoma reversal surgery approach is not only safe and feasible but also offers a significant advantage in reducing wound infection rates.

Background: The situation for patients with ostomy can be challenging, probably more in a resource‐constrained environment. Our objective was to evaluate quality of life (QoL) (using EQ5D‐5L) and stoma‐specific QoL (using Stoma QoL) in a high‐ and low‐income setting. Methods: In this cross‐sectional study from the Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital (TASH), Addis Ababa, and South General Hospital (SGH), Stockholm, patients with a permanent or temporary ostomy at TASH (EthioPerm), (EthioTemp), and patients with ostomy at SGH (SweSto) were included in October 2022–January 2023. Results: Patients N = 66 were included in groups: EthioPerm N = 28, EthioTemp N = 17, and SweSto N = 21. In EthioTemp, 88% used homemade stoma bags. Although morbidity related to the nipple itself was similar in the groups, the overall score from Stoma QoL was significantly lower in EthioPerm, 48/100 than in SweSto, 74/100. Scores were significantly lower for pouch‐related problems and social interactions in Ethiopian patients. In EthioPerm, 71% of the patients worried that they were a burden to the people close to them compared to 14% in SweSto (p < 0.001). Leakage was over four times more common in EthioPerm than in SweSto. Mean overall EQ5D‐5L score was 18 percentage points lower than the national mean score in EthioPerm and 2 percentage points lower in SweSto. Conclusion: QoL was more affected in the Ethiopian study participants than in the Swedish, even when commercial stoma bags were available. The largest problems were leakage, embarrassment with social interactions, and pouch‐related problems.

Introduction. Protective diverting ileostomy is performed with the aim of protecting the intestinal anastomosis after a colorectal resection. This intestinal resection is the most frequently performed extended procedure in patients with ovarian cancer, in order to achieve complete cytoreduction. Knowing the indications, use, techniques and complications of ileostomies is important for multidisciplinary groups that treat these patients. Methods. We conducted a search in PubMed via Medline and an updated narrative review of the main findings on the indications, surgical techniques, complications and use of diverting ileostomy in ovarian cancer. Results. The use of diverting ileostomy in ovarian cancer remains a controversial issue. To date, neither diverting ileostomy nor ghost ileostomy have been associated with a reduction in the incidence of anastomotic leak, but both techniques could decrease its severity. Conclusion. The diverting ileostomy in ovarian cancer is used to protect a distal anastomosis after intestinal resection, in case of anastomotic leak if a previous ostomy has not been performed or in case of intestinal obstruction.

- Abstract
Patients with an ileostomy are at increased risk of dehydration and sodium depletion. Treatments recommended may include oral rehydration solutions (ORS). We aimed to investigate if protein type or protein hydrolysation affects absorption from iso-osmolar ORS in patients with an ileostomy. This was a randomised, double-blinded, active comparator-controlled 3 × 3 crossover intervention study. We developed three protein-based ORS with whey protein isolate, caseinate or whey protein hydrolysate. The solutions contained 40–48 g protein/L, 34–45 mmol sodium/L and had an osmolality of 248–270 mOsm/kg. The patients ingested 500 mL/d. The study consisted of three 4-week periods with a >2-week washout between each intervention. The primary outcome was wet-weight ileostomy output. Ileostomy output and urine were collected for a 24-h period before and after each intervention. Additionally, blood sampling, dietary records, muscle-strength tests, bioimpedance analyses, questionnaires and psychometric tests were conducted. We included 14 patients, of whom 13 completed at least one intervention. Ten patients completed all three interventions. Wet-weight ileostomy output did not change following either of the three interventions and did not differ between interventions (p = 0.38). A cluster of statistically significant improvements related to absorption was observed following the intake of whey protein isolate ORS, including decreased faecal losses of energy (−365 kJ/d, 95% confidence interval (CI), −643 to −87, p = 0.012), potassium (−7.8 mmol/L, 95%CI, −12.0 to −3.6, p = 0.001), magnesium (−4.0 mmol/L, 95%CI, −7.4 to −0.7, p = 0.020), improved plasma aldosterone (−4674 pmol/L 95%CI, −8536 to −812, p = 0.019), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (2.8 mL/min/1.73 m
2 , 95%CI, 0.3 to 5.4, p = 0.03) and CO2 (1.7 mmol/L 95%CI, 0.1 to 3.3, p = 0.04). Ingestion of 500 mL/d of iso-osmolar solutions containing either whey protein isolate, caseinate or whey protein hydrolysate for four weeks resulted in unchanged and comparable ileostomy outputs in patients with an ileostomy. Following whey protein isolate ORS, we observed discrete improvements in a series of absorption proxies in both faeces and blood, indicating increased absorption. The protein-based ORS were safe and well-tolerated. Treatments should be tailored to each patient, and future studies are warranted to explore treatment-effect heterogeneity and whether different compositions or doses of ORS can improve absorption and nutritional status in patients with an ileostomy.

Abstract Purpose This current study attempted to investigate whether one-stitch method (OM) of temporary ileostomy influenced the stoma-related complications after laparoscopic low anterior resection (LLAR). Methods We searched for eligible studies in four databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and CNKI from inception to July 20, 2023. Both surgical outcomes and stoma-related complications were compared between the OM group and the traditional method (TM) group. The Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (NOS) was adopted for quality assessment. RevMan 5.4 was conducted for data analyzing. Results Totally 590 patients from six studies were enrolled in this study (272 patients in the OM group and 318 patients in the TM group). No significant difference was found in baseline information (P > 0.05). Patients in the OM group had shorter operative time in both the primary LLAR surgery (MD = − 17.73, 95%CI = − 25.65 to − 9.80, P

Purpose As introduced, multimodal pain management bundle for ileostomy reversal may be considered to reduce postoperative pain and hospital stay. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical efficacy of perioperative multimodal pain bundle for ileostomy. Methods Medical records of patients who underwent ileostomy reversal after rectal cancer surgery from April 2017 to March 2020 were analyzed. Sixty-seven patients received multimodal pain bundle protocol with ileostomy reversal (group A) and 41 patients underwent closure of ileostomy with conventional pain management (group B). Results Baseline characteristics, including age, sex, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, diabetes mellitus, and smoking history, were not significantly different between the groups. The pain score on postoperative day 1 was significant lower in group A (visual analog scale, 2.6±1.3 vs. 3.2±1.2; P=0.013). Overall consumption of opioid in group A was significant less than group B (9.7±9.5 vs. 21.2±8.8, P

BACKGROUND: Anastomotic leak is the most serious complication in rectal surgery. Predicting and preventing anastomotic leak remains an urgent task. AIM: The purpose of the study is to analyze the 17-year-long experience of the Federal Research Clinical Center of Specialized Medical Care and Medical Technologies of FMBA of Russia in performing an anterior resection of the rectum in patients with cancer of the rectum and rectosigmoid junction and to establish the risk factors for the development of an anastomotic leak. METHODS: The results of the treatment of 492 patients who underwent an anterior resection of the rectum in 2006–2022 have been studied. 21 patients developed an anastomotic leak. A retrospective comparison of the characteristics of two groups of patients was carried out: those with a smooth course of the postoperative period and those with the development of an anastomotic leak. RESULTS: The reliable risk factors for the development of an anastomotic leak were identified and, based on the statistical analysis, a prognostic scoring model was proposed: smoking — 1 point, type 2 diabetes mellitus — 1 point, preoperative chemotherapy — 1 point, blood loss over 50 ml — 2 points, preoperative radiation therapy — 3 points, and the location of the colorectal anastomosis at a distance of up to 5 cm from the anus — 4 points. The sensitivity of the model was 85.6%, with the specificity above 97.4% when using a training set with 8 points or more. CONCLUSION: The following tactics are proposed: in the case of 4 points and above by the developed scale, one should form a preventive intestinal stoma; in the case of 1–3 points, one should install a transanal drainage. The complete abandonment of these two preventive measures is possible only if the patient does not have any of the listed risk factors for the development of an anastomotic leak.

Purpose: Coloanal anastomosis with loop diverting ileostomy (CAA) is an option for low anterior resection of the rectum, and Turnbull-Cutait coloanal anastomosis (TCA) regained popularity in the effort to offer patients a reconstructive option. In this context, we aimed to compare both techniques. Methods: PubMed, Cochrane, and Scopus were searched for studies published until January 2024. Odds ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled with a random-effects model. Statistical significance was defined as p < 0.05. Heterogeneity was assessed using the Cochran Q test and I2 statistics, with p-values inferior to 0.10 and I2 >25% considered significant. Statistical analysis was conducted in RStudio version 4.1.2 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing). Registered number CRD42024509963. Results: One randomized controlled trial and nine observational studies were included, comprising 1,743 patients, of whom 899 (51.5%) were submitted to TCA and 844 (48.5%) to CAA. Most patients had rectal cancer (52.2%), followed by megacolon secondary to Chagas disease (32.5%). TCA was associated with increased colon ischemia (OR 3.54; 95% CI 1.13 to 11.14; p < 0.031; I2 = 0%). There were no differences in postoperative complications classified as Clavien-Dindo ≥ IIIb, anastomotic leak, pelvic abscess, intestinal obstruction, bleeding, permanent stoma, or anastomotic stricture. In subgroup analysis of patients with cancer, TCA was associated with a reduction in anastomotic leak (OR 0.55; 95% CI 0.31 to 0.97 p = 0.04; I2 = 34%). Conclusion: TCA was associated with a decrease in anastomotic leak rate in subgroups analysis of patients with cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: For high-risk patients receiving right-sided colectomy, stoma formation is a safety strategy. Options are anastomosis with loop ileostomy, end ileostomy, or split stoma. The aim is to compare the outcome of these three options. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included all patients who underwent right sided colectomy and stoma formation between January 2008 and December 2021 at two tertial referral centers in Switzerland. The primary outcome was the stoma associated complication rate within one year. Results: A total of 116 patients were included. A total of 20 patients (17%) underwent primary anastomosis with loop ileostomy (PA group), 29 (25%) received an end ileostomy (ES group) and 67 (58%) received a split stoma (SS group). Stoma associated complication rate was 43% (n = 21) in PA and in ES group and 50% (n = 34) in SS group (n.s.). A total of 30% (n = 6) of patients in PA group needed reoperations, whereas 59% (n = 17) in ES and 58% (n = 39) in SS group had reoperations (P = 0.07). Wound infections occurred in 15% (n = 3) in PA, in 10% (n = 3) in ES, and in 30% (n = 20) in SS group (P = 0.08). A total of 13 patients (65%) in PA, 7 (24%) in ES, and 29 (43%) in SS group achieved stoma closure (P = 0.02). A total of 5 patients (38%) in PA group, 2 (15%) in ES, and 22 patients (67%) in SS group had a stoma-associated rehospitalization (P < 0.01). Conclusion: Primary anastomosis and loop ileostomy may be an option for selected patients. Patients with end ileostomies have fewer stoma-related readmissions than those with a split stoma, but they have a lower rate of stoma closure. Clinical trial registration: Trial not registered.

The common causes of rectovaginal fistula include obstetric trauma, local infection, and rectal surgery, while rectovaginal fistula following hemorrhoid surgery is extremely rare. Rectovaginal fistulae (RVF) rarely heal without intervention. Surgical treatment is usually performed, but the optimal surgical method remains controversial. The patient was a 37-year-old woman who was transferred to our hospital due to an unsuccessful repair of a rectovaginal fistula after hemorrhoid surgery in a local hospital. The next day after admission, she had prophylactic ileostomy, fecal diversion and combined treatment with cephalosporin antibiotic to create a clean postoperative area. However, there was still fecal outflow from the vagina, with no significant reduction in excretion compared to previous surgery. Digestive endoscopy confirmed a failure of the repair for rectovaginal fistula. Therefore, preventive ileostomy was continued to reduce the accumulation of bacteria in the fistula and control the inflammation. After 8 weeks, the endoscopic fistula inflammation disappeared, and the condition of endoscopic surgery was considered to be mature. Subsequently, a new surgical method combining transanal endoscopy and transvaginal endoscopy was performed. After 12 weeks of surgery, a follow-up endoscopic examination showed that the fistula had been repaired and healed. During the 1-year follow-up, no serious complication was encountered, no recurrence was found, and the repair effect was satisfactory. In conclusion, a new technique combining transanal endoscopy and transvaginal endoscopy can effectively be used for the surgical repair of rectovaginal fistula after a hemorrhoid operation.

Aim: The standard treatment for low rectal cancer is preoperative chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery with low anterior resection with diverting ileostomy or abdominoperineal resection, both of which have significant long‐term effects on bowel and sexual function. Due to the high morbidity of surgery, there has been increasing interest in nonoperative management for low rectal cancer. The aim of this work is to conduct a pan‐Canadian Phase II trial assessing the safety of nonoperative management for low rectal cancer. Method: Patients with Stage II or III low rectal cancer completing chemoradiotherapy according to standard of care at participating centres will be assessed for complete clinical response 8–14 weeks following completion of chemoradiotherapy. Subjects achieving a clinical complete response will undergo active surveillance including endoscopy, imaging and bloodwork at regular intervals for 24 months. The primary outcome will be the rate of local regrowth 2 years after chemoradiotherapy. Nonoperative management will be considered safe (i.e. as effective as surgery to achieve local control) if the rate of local regrowth is ≤30% and surgical salvage is possible for all local regrowths. Secondary outcomes will include disease‐free and overall survival. Conclusion: The results will be highly clinically relevant, as it is expected that nonoperative management will be safe and lead to widespread adoption of nonoperative management in Canada. This change in practice has the potential to decrease the number of patients requiring surgery and the costs associated with surgery and long‐term surgical morbidity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim: Some patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) require subtotal colectomy (STC) with ileostomy. The recent literature reports a significant number of patients who do not undergo subsequent surgery and are resigned to living with a definitive stoma. The aim of this work was to analyse the rate of definitive stoma and the cumulative incidence of secondary reconstructive surgery after STC for IBD in a large national cohort study. Method: A national retrospective study (2013–2021) was conducted on prospectively collected data from the French Medical Information System Database (PMSI). All patients undergoing STC in France were included. The association between definitive stoma and potential risk factors was studied using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results: A total of 1860 patients were included (age 45 ± 9 years; median follow‐up 30 months). Of these, 77% (n = 1442) presented with ulcerative colitis. Mortality and morbidity at 90 days after STC were 5% (n = 100) and 47% (n = 868), respectively. Reconstructive surgery was identified in 1255 patients (67%) at a mean interval of 7 months from STC. Seveny‐four per cent (n = 932) underwent a completion proctectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis and 26% (n = 323) an ileorectal anastomosis. Six hundred and five (33%) patients with a definitive stoma had an abdominoperineal resection (n = 114; 19%) or did not have any further surgical procedure (n = 491; 81%). Independent risk factors for definitive stoma identified in multivariate analysis were older age, Crohn's disease, colorectal neoplasia, postoperative complication after STC, laparotomy and a low‐volume hospital. Conclusion: We found that 33% of patients undergoing STC with ileostomy for IBD had definitive stoma. Modifiable risk factors for definitive stoma were laparotomy and a low‐volume hospital.

Aim: Although proximal faecal diversion is standard of care to protect patients with high‐risk colorectal anastomoses against septic complications of anastomotic leakage, it is associated with significant morbidity. The Colovac device (CD) is an intraluminal bypass device intended to avoid stoma creation in patients undergoing low anterior resection. A preliminary study (SAFE‐1) completed in three European centres demonstrated 100% protection of colorectal anastomoses in 15 patients, as evidenced by the absence of faeces below the CD. This phase III trial (SAFE‐2) aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the CD in a larger cohort of patients undergoing curative rectal cancer resection. Methods: SAFE‐2 is a pivotal, multicentre, prospective, open‐label, randomized, controlled trial. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either the CD arm or the diverting loop ileostomy arm, with a recruitment target of 342 patients. The co‐primary endpoints are the occurrence of major postoperative complications within 12 months of index surgery and the effectiveness of the CD in reducing stoma creation rates. Data regarding quality of life and patient's acceptance and tolerance of the device will be collected. Discussion: SAFE‐2 is a multicentre randomized, control trial assessing the efficacy and the safety of the CD in protecting low colorectal anastomoses created during oncological resection relative to standard diverting loop ileostomy. Trial registration: NCT05010850. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim: The aim of this work was to compare adjustment between those with a new temporary or permanent ostomy in a cohort of Australian adults. Method: This is a multicentre, longitudinal observational study. Ostomy adjustment was measured using the Ostomy Adjustment Inventory (OAI‐23) at six possible time points ending at 9 months postsurgery or at the time of ostomy closure in those with a temporary stoma. The OAI‐23 includes four domains: anger, acceptance, anxious preoccupation and social engagement. Results: Eligibility criteria were met by 1230 patients, with 849 (69%) recruited and consented. Of these, 108 were excluded as their surgery did not result in the formation of an ostomy and a further 41 were excluded due to there being no data on ostomy type (temporary or permanent). This left a study population of 700, of whom 397 had a temporary and 303 a permanent ostomy. Only small differences were observed between the temporary and permanent ostomy groups at most time points within the four OAI‐23 domains. There were no statistically significant differences found beyond 2 weeks postdischarge and the differences were of small size. While no difference was found between the groups in the domain of anxious preoccupation, both groups demonstrated an increase in anxious preoccupation over time. Neither group regained their presurgery confidence to attend social engagements. Conclusion: We found only minor differences in adjustment in those with a new temporary ostomy compared with a new permanent ostomy. Both groups demonstrated increasing anxious preoccupation and problems with social engagement. This suggests that access to education, training and support should be equitable between these two groups in clinical practice, and needs to incorporate a focus on psychological as well as physical outcomes.

Purpose: Preserving the ileocecal valve (ICV) has shown significant benefits. We present our experience with 18 infants who underwent ileocecal valve-preservation ileocecostomy (IVPI) with an extremely short distal ileum after primary ileostomy. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on IVPI cases between 2014 and 2020. Medical records were reviewed, including birth weight, age, primary diseases, length of ileus stump, surgical time and procedure, time to enteral feeding, postoperative hospital stay, and complications. Results: Eighteen patients (male: female = 12:6, median birth weight 1305 (750–4000) g, median gestational age 29 + 5 (27 + 6–39 + 6) weeks) were included in the analysis. Causes of surgery included necrotizing enterocolitis (13), ileocecal intestinal atresia (1), ileum volvulus (2), meconium peritonitis (1), and secondary intestinal fistula (1). The median corrected age of ileostomy closure was 3.2 months (2.0–8.0 months). The distance from the distal ileal stoma to the ICV ranged from 0.5 to 2 cm. The median length of the residual bowel was 90 cm (50–130 cm). ICV-plasty was performed in 3 cases due to secondary ICV occlusion or stenosis. All patients resumed feeding within 6 to 11 days after surgery. The postoperative hospital stay ranged from 12 to 108 days (median: 16.5 days). Complications included incisional infections in 2 cases, anastomotic stricture and adhesive ileus in 1 case, nosocomial sepsis and septic shock in 1 case. All children showed normal growth and development during a 6–65 month follow-up. Conclusions: IVPI is safe and feasible for infants with an extremely short distal ileal stump. ICV-plasty could be applicable for cases with ileocecal occlusion/stenosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To compare the outcomes of primary repair with ileostomy in the management of typhoid intestinal perforation. Study Design: Quasi-Experimental Study. Place and Duration of Study: Surgical Departments of Combined Military Hospital, and Pak Emirates Military Hospital, Rawalpindi Pakistan, from Nov 2021 to Jun 2022. Methodology: A total of 400 patients presenting with typhoid ileal perforation were recruited. Patients of either gender, aged under 60 years with a positive blood culture for S. Typhi were included. Those with a history of abdominal surgery or ileal perforation due to any cause other than typhoid were excluded. The study population was categorized into two groups (A, and B) of 200 patients each. Group-A received primary repair, and Group-B received ileostomy. Complications were compared between both groups. A primary outcome (mortality) was also examined. Results: Mean age of patients noted was 22.47±14.8 years. In Group-A, 124(62%) patients, and in Group-B 118(59%) patients were males. Postoperative wound infection was the most frequent complication found, in 32(16%) patients in Group-A and 44(22%) patients in Group-B. No complications were found in 96(48%) patients in Group-A and 80(40%) patients in Group-B. The mortality rate was higher in Group-B 34(17%) in comparison to Group-A 22(11%). Conclusions: Primary repair is a safe technique, and it has less morbidity and mortality in comparison to ileostomy for treatment of typhoid intestinal perforation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ILEAL conduit surgery , *URINARY diversion , *HERNIA surgery , *COMPUTED tomography - Abstract
Background: Ileal conduit parastomal hernias (ICPHs) are frequent after radical cystectomy with ileal conduit urinary diversion, but their management is debated. This study aimed to review the results of ICPH repair according to Sugarbaker or Sandwich techniques, with special interest in ICPH recurrence and urological complications. Methods: The authors reviewed a consecutive series of patients undergoing ICPH repair between January 2014 and December 2020. Primary endpoints were ICPH recurrences at clinical exam and cross-sectional abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans. Secondary endpoints were any other complications possibly related to the ICPH repair. Results: Twenty-three patients underwent ICPH repair surgery (16 Sugarbaker and 7 Sandwich techniques) during the study period. Sixteen patients underwent a primary laparoscopic approach. All but one patient underwent at least one abdominal CT during the follow-up. Median clinical and CT scan follow-up times were 57 and 50.5 months, respectively. Clinical and CT ICPH recurrence rates were 4.5% and 13% at 5 years, respectively. Eighteen patients (78%) suffered no urological complications during the follow-up period, but three patients (13%) needed redo surgery on the urinary ileal conduit. Conclusion: The modified Sugarbaker or Sandwich techniques might be considered as promising techniques for ICPH repair with a low rate of recurrence. The urological complications, and particularly the ileal conduit-related issues, need to be evaluated in further studies. Controlled and prospective data are required to compare the Sugarbaker and Sandwich techniques to the Keyhole approach for ICPH repairs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background Readmission rates following ileostomy formation are high. Dehydration and consecutive renal failure are common causes of readmission, potentially pronounced by drugs affecting the homeostasis. The aim of the study was to assess the risk of dehydration after ileostomy formation in patients treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI), angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) or diuretics. Method This nationwide population-based cohort study used data derived from the Colorectal Cancer Data Base of several Swedish healthcare registers. The study included all patients operated on with elective anterior resection and temporary ileostomy for rectal cancer clinically staged I–III in Sweden in 2007–2016. Exposure was at least two dispensations of ACEI, ARB or diuretics within 1 year prior to surgery. Outcome was 90-day readmission due to dehydration including acute renal failure. Results In total, 3252 patients were included with 1173 (36.1%) exposed to ACEI, ARB or diuretics. The cumulative incidence for 90-day readmission due to dehydration was 29.0% (151 of 520) for exposed versus 13.8% (98 of 712) for unexposed. The proportion of readmissions due to any reason was 44.3% (520 of 1173) for exposed compared to 34.2% (712 of 2079) for unexposed. The incidence rate ratio for readmission due to dehydration was 2.83 (95% c.i. 2.21 to 3.63, P < 0.001). The hazard rate ratio was 2.45 (95% c.i. 1.83 to 3.27, P < 0.001) after adjusting for age, gender and comorbidity. Conclusion Medication with ACEI, ARB or diuretics defines a vulnerable patient group with increased risk of readmission due to dehydration after ileostomy formation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim Identify risk factors most likely to contribute to parastomal hernia development. Methods Retrospective matched case-control study using retrospective case note reviews. One public and one private South Australian hospital. Ostomates who underwent stoma formation surgery between 2018 and 2021, and did ('cases', n=50) or did not ('controls', n=50) develop parastomal hernia were matched by ostomy type. Potential parastomal hernia risk factors were identified from the literature and expert opinion to build a case note review tool. Case notes were selected by surgical date from 2018. Analyses were conducted in which univariable logistic regression investigated relationships between potential risk factors and parastomal hernia development. Exploratory subgroup analyses investigated whether relationships between risk factors and development of parastomal hernia differed according to ostomy type. Results Patient characteristics were summarised descriptively and by hospital. Statistically significant evidence was found of links between development of parastomal hernia and higher BMI (OR for 5 kg/m² increase: 1.74; 95% CI: 1.19, 2.76), post-operative infection (OR 2.68; 95% CI: 1.04, 7.33), multiple abdominal surgeries (OR 4.21; 95% CI: 1.18, 19.90), time since surgery (OR >30 months: 0.003; 95% CI: 0.0004, 0.02), and aperture size (OR for 1mm increase: 1.12; 95% CI: 1.02,1.24). Sufficient evidence was not found of expected relationships with factors such as smoking, chemotherapy and/or pelvic radiotherapy, lifestyle and activity factors. Conclusions This study contributes to furthering the understanding of the relationships between known risk factors to inform stomal therapy nurses' practice in the prevention of a parastomal hernia. High body mass index, postoperative infection, multiple surgeries, wide diameter of the stoma, and time since surgery of less than 30 months increased the risk of parastomal hernia, other factors did not reach significance probably due to use of an underpowered sample. Opportunities to repeat this study would further strengthen the necessary evidence of the most important risk factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Optimising stoma appliances to manage stoma output to prevent leakage, associated peri-stomal skin damage and the subsequent negative impacts on quality of life is a key role for the stomal therapy nurse. Use of deep convex stoma appliances to achieve optimal management of stoma output is often required when stomas are retracted, in deep skin folds or with uneven skin surface due to abdominal scaring or underlying general body shape and tone. Assessment of convexity has been described as subjective using observation, based on clinical experience and at times trial and error to achieve appropriate appliance selection. This case study introduces an objective method for convexity assessment of depth and slope of convexity, individualised to the person's stoma in a skin fold. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) has been described in the early post-operative phase after stoma reversal. This systematic review aimed to describe the incidence of CDI after stoma reversal and to identify pre-operative variables correlated with an increased risk of infection. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines in March 2024. Manuscripts were included if reported at least one patient with CDI-associated diarrhoea following stoma reversal (colostomy/ileostomy). The primary outcome of interest was the incidence of CDI; the secondary outcome was the comparison of clinical variables (age, sex, time to stoma reversal, neo-adjuvant and adjuvant therapies after index colorectal procedure) in CDI-positive versus CDI-negative patients. A meta-analysis was performed when at least three studies reported on those variables. Results: Out of 43 eligible manuscripts, 1 randomized controlled trial and 10 retrospective studies were selected, including 17,857 patients (2.1% CDI). Overall, the mean age was 64.3 ± 11.6 years in the CDI group and 61.5 ± 12.6 years in the CDI-negative group (p = 0.51), with no significant difference in sex (p = 0.34). Univariable analyses documented that the mean time to stoma reversal was 53.9 ± 19.1 weeks in CDI patients and 39.8 ± 15.0 weeks in CDI-negative patients (p = 0.40) and a correlation between neo-adjuvant and adjuvant treatments with CDI (p < 0.001). A meta-analysis was performed for time to stoma reversal, age, sex, and neo-adjuvant therapies disclosing no significant differences for CDI (stoma delay, MD 11.59; 95%CI 24.32–1.13; age, MD 0.97; 95%CI 2.08–4.03; sex, OR1.11; 95%CI 0.88–1.41; neo-adjuvant, OR0.81; 95%CI 0.49–1.35). Meta-analysis including patients who underwent adjuvant therapy evidenced a higher risk of CDI (OR 2.88; 95%CI 1.01–8.17, p = 0.11). Conclusion: CDI occurs in approximately 2.1% of patients after stoma reversal. Although a trend of increased delay in stoma reversal and a correlation with chemotherapy were documented in CDI patients, the use of adjuvant therapy was the only possible risk factor documented on meta-analysis.
