BACKGROUND:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the postoperative outcomes of early ileostomy closure compared to delayed
closure in adult patients that have undergone bowel surgery. Specific
outcomes measured included wound infection, ileus, postoperative
obstruction, anastomotic failure, total number of complications and
mortality.
METHODS:
Online search was made through Medline, Cochrane,
EBSCHost, and ClinicalKey databases up to June 2018 for
randomized controlled trials comparing early (<4 weeks) and delayed
(≥ 4 weeks) closure of ileostomy. Review Manager 5.3 was utilized
for data analysis. The odds ratio was determined for each of the
outcomes.
RESULTS:
Eight RCT's met the inclusion criteria, yielding 1126
patients (506 in early closure and 620 in delayed closure group).
Statistical analysis showed no advantage of delayed closure over
early closure of ileostomy in terms of post-operative complications
(OR 1.13, 95% CI, 0.84-1.54, p=0.45), rate of anastomotic leakage
(OR 0.96;95% CI, 0.55-1.66, p=0.54) and over-all mortality (OR
2.00;95% CI, 0.18-22.29, p=0.57). Early closure patients were
found to be less likely to have post-operative ileus or obstruction
when compared to delayed closure (OR 0.36;95% CI, 0.14-0.90,
p=0.03). However, early closure was more likely to cause postoperative wound infection compared to delayed closure (OR 2.32;95%
CI, 1.48-3.63, p=0.0002).
CONCLUSION
Early closure of ileostomy is beneficial in terms of
development of less post-operative ileus. Delayed closure of
ileostomy is advantageous in terms of less wound infections.

PURPOSE: A diverting stoma is known to reduce the consequences of distal anastomotic failure following colorectal surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a diverting stoma after an ultra-low anterior resection (uLAR) for rectal cancer. METHODS: Between 2000 and 2007, 836 patients who underwent an uLAR were divided into two groups, depending on the fecal diversion: 246 received fecal diversion, and 590 had no diversion. Patient- and disease-related variables were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Thirty-two of the 836 patients (3.8%) had immediate anastomosis-related complications and required reoperation. Anastomosis leakage comprised 72% of the complications (23/32). The overall immediate complication rate was significantly lower in patients with a diverting stoma (0.8%, 2/246) compared to those without a diverting stoma (5.1%, 30/590; P = 0.005). The fecal diversion group had lower tumor location, lower anastomosis level, and more preoperative chemo-radiation therapy (P < 0.001). In total, 12% of patients in the diverting stoma group had complications either in making or reversing the stoma (30/246). CONCLUSION: The diverting stoma decreased the rate of immediate anastomosis-related complications. However, the rate of complications associated with the diverting stoma was non-negligible, so strict criteria should be applied when deciding whether to use a diverting stoma.

The double stapling technique has become an established reconstruction method for patients undergoing low anterior resection. We have used a modification of the conventional technique in which the lower rectal segment is closed with a linear stapler (TA-55) and the anastomosis is performed by using the circular EEA(CEEA) instrument across the linear staple line of the double stapling technique. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prophylactic effect of a loop ileostomy preventing anastomotic leakage. Stapled colorectal anastomosis and stapled coloanal anastomosis in 60 patients forms the basis for the report. The sixty patients were treated by using the double stapling technique either with or without a loop ileostomy. This review presents the advantages and disadvantages of a loop ileostomy for coloanal anastomosis. Postoperative anastomotic leakage in the double stapling technique group occurred in 5 (10.6%)cases of the total 31 cases while in the double stapling technique with loop ileostomy group, it allowed 1(3.4%) of the total 29 cases. This study suggests that the double stapling technique with a loop ileostomy is more effective than the double stapling technique without a loop ileostomy in preventing anastomotic leakage. The addition of a loop ileostomy to protect the low anastomosis might also be expected to influence anastomotic healing.

PURPOSE: The study aimed to investigate the complications accompanying stoma take-down and to elucidate the significant factors associated with complications. METHODS: We recruited 341 patients who underwent stoma take-down in our hospital between January 2000 and December 2005. Data on various complications during this procedure, i.e., wound infection, prolonged ileus, and anastomotic leakage, were collected with respect to patient- and operation-associated parameters. RESULTS: Complications of stoma take-down developed in 72 (21.1%) patients: 53 (20.3%) patients in a loop ileosotmy, 10 (21.3%) patients in a loop colostomy, and 9 (27.3%) patients in a Hartmann colostomy, The overall complication rate was significantly associated with the urgency of the primary operation (elective vs. emergent, 17.8% vs. 29%, P=0.017), and with the operation time (< or =80 min vs. > 80 min, 16.5% vs. 29.3%, P=0.005). Among the complications, ileus developed in 46 (13.5%) patients, wound infection in 17 (5.0%) patients, and anastomotic leakage in 5 (1.5%) patients. Wound infection was related to the type of stoma between a loop ileostomy and a Hartmann colostomy (3.5% vs. 12.1%; P=0.014), but no other factors were associated with other complications. CONCLUSIONS: There were significant differences in overall complications in relation to urgency of the primary operation and the operation time, but there was no statistical difference in complications between a loop ileostomy and a loop colostomy take- down groups. The significance of these factors appears to be reduced with accurate surgical technique and patient care.

7.Comparison of an Antiperistaltic Ileostomy with the Conventional Ileostomy.
Journal of the Korean Surgical Society 1998;54(1):75-79
Permanant ileostomy is necessary in the case of a total proctocolectomy for a cancerous change in the distal rectum due to ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis coli, but the fecal content after a conventional ileostomy is usually liquid or semiliquid. Sometimes, this resultes in dehydration and some nutrient loss. Nahm-gun Oh has designed an antiperistaltic ileostomy for formed stool evacuation. About a 25 cm length of the most distal ileum is cut, this segment is reversed, and then the antiperistaltic ileostomy is performed. The authors have performed antiperistaltic ileostomies in 6 cases of familial adenomatous polyposis or ulcerative colitis with a cancerous change in the low rectum. During the past 5 years and 7 months at the Department of Surgery, Pusan National University Hospital, we found that the profuse ileostomy discharge of the conventional ileostomy was decreased in the antiperistaltic ileostomy group, and that the antiperistaltic ileostomy discharge had a liquid component which was markedly decreased compared to that of the conventional ileostomy discharge. In addition, the antiperistaltic ileostomy discharge appeared to be much more solid and less voluminous. In conclusion, the antiperistaltic ileostomy should be considered for creating the effect of a reservoir by producing intestinal stasis proximal to the segment. The antiperistaltic ileostomy is effective in reducing the daily amount of ileostomy discharge and is convenient for stoma care due to the diminished water content in the discharge.

Short-bowel syndrome is functionally defined as a state of malabsorption following loss of small bowel, which comprises the sequelae of nutrient, fluid, and weight loss. The proximal segment of the bowel of a patient with intestinal atresia is usually grossly distended and atonic. In contrast, distal segment is smaller. For this reason, anastomosis of the proximal and the distal segment is technically difficult and may cause no propulsion even when they are anastomosed. We experienced that continuous drip ileostomy feeding with the secretions from the proximal stoma stimulated the distal bowel to accommodate and resolved many sequelae following loss of small bowel in a patient with short-bowel syndrome due to IIIa ileal atresia.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the clinical characteristics of patients with ovarian cancer who underwent enterostomy. METHODS: Via medical record review, we obtained clinical information of 51 ovarian cancer patients who underwent enterostomy in our hospital, from 1990 to 2006. We compared the clinical characteristics according to the indication of enterostomy: primary cytoreduction (PC), secondary cytoreduction (SC), and palliative only (PO). In addition, we investigated the correlations among clinical characteristics to find prognosticators. RESULTS: Patients were older (P=0.061), had less upper gastrointestinal symptoms (P=0.000), underwent colostomy rather than ileostomy (P=0.037), and received more postoperative chemotherapy (P=0.000) according to the following order: PC, SC, PO groups. Older patients had more postoperative complications (P=0.035). In the PC group, older patients had less chance of optimal debulking (P=0.020). In the PO group, preoperative gastrointestinal symptoms were associated with the type of enterostomy. CONCLUSIONS: Clinical characteristics of patients were different according to the indication of enterostomy. Careful examination of clinical characteristics and gastrointestinal symptoms might be helpful to predict the postoperative quality of life.

Journal of the Korean Society of Coloproctology 2006;22(6):363-370
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness of a P-pouch configuration with a reservoir and recycled segment in restorative proctocolectomy. METHODS: There were 11 patients who underwent the P-pouch procedure. They were compared with healthy eight-control subjects. The P-pouch configuration was constructed using one firing of a 10 cm GIA stapler to form a 12-cm reservoir. Following that, the distal ileum (15+/-0.5 cm) was anastomosed to the proximal portion of the pouch. Pouch function was studied 23.3+/-4.4 months after ileostomy closure. We measured the frequency and amount of stool. The postprandial plasma peptide YY (PYY) response and the scintigraphic studies using 99m-Tc sulfur colloid were used to study transit. RESULTS: In the patient group, daily stool frequency and volume were 5.2+/-0.3 and 423.5+/-23.7 g, respectively. Stool seepage and pouchitis occurred in 45.5 % and 9.1%. In contrast to other pouch procedures, the postprandial increment of plasma PYY was similar the P-pouch patients and healthy controls (P>0.05). The integrated increment of plasma PYY for 180 minutes following meals was also not decreased in 9-pouch patient group compared with the healthy controls (1,050.0+/-127.8 pmol/l vs. 1146.0+/-150.0 pmol/l, P>0.05). Small intestinal transit time for healthy controls and the patient group averaged 89+/-21 and 117+/-12 minutes (P>0.05). The capacity of the ileal pouch was 372+/-22 ml, and the efficiency of ileal reservoir evacuation was 76 %. CONCLUSIONS: The P-pouch is a new and improved simple modification of the well-established J-pouch procedure, constructed using a single firing of a GIA stapler.
