Early vs. Standard Loop Ileostomy Closure: An Unmatched Case-Control Study / Cierre Temprano vs Estándar de Ileostomía en Asa. Estudio de Casos y Controles no Emparejado

SUMMARY: Early closure of a loop ileostomy (ECI) is a relatively new practice, for which there is insufficient evidence regarding its effectiveness in relation to closure at conventional times. The aim of this study was to report postoperative complications (POC) and hospital mortality in patients with loop ileostomy (LI) who underwent ECI, compared with patients with LI who underwent late closure. Un- matched case-control study. Patients with LI who underwent surgery at Clínica RedSalud Mayor Temuco (2010-2022) were included. Cases were defined as patients with LI who underwent early closure and controls as subjects who underwent closure at the usual times. No matching was performed, but a 1:1 relationship between cases and controls was considered. Outcome variables were postoperative complications and hospital mortality. Other variables of interest were surgical time and hospital stay. Descriptive statistics were applied with calculation of proportions and measures of central tendency. Subsequently, t-test and Pearson Chi2 for comparison of averages and proportions was applied, and odds ratios and their respective 95 % CI were calculated. In this study 39 patients with AI were operated on (18 cases and 21 controls). Age and BMI average of the studied subjects was 71.3±7.1 years and 27.3±19.8 kg/m2 respectively. Mean LI closure time, surgical time, and hospitalization were: 10.0±0.7 months; 62.5±10.6min; 3.8±0.1 days respectively. POC were only surgical site infections. Three in cases (16.7 %) and 3 in controls (14.3 %). No anastomotic dehiscence or hospital mortality was observed in either cases or controls. There were no differences in comorbidities or surgical site infection between cases and controls (OR of 0.6 and 1.2 respectively) In this experience, the results of performing the CTI were similar to the late closing in relation to the variables studied.

El cierre temprano de una ileostomía en asa (IA), es una práctica relativamente nueva, sobre la que no hay suficiente evidencia respecto de su efectividad en relación con el cierre en tiempos convencionales. El objetivo de este estudio fue verificar diferencias en la tasa de complicaciones postoperatorias (CPO) y de mortalidad hospitalaria en pacientes con IA sometidos a cierre temprano comparados con pacientes con IA sometidos a cierre tardío. Estudio de casos y controles sin emparejamiento. Se incluyeron pacientes con IA que fueron sometidos a cirugía en la Clínica RedSalud Mayor Temuco (2010-2022). Los casos se definieron como pacientes con IA sometidos a cierre temprano y los controles como sujetos con IA sometidos a cierre en tiempos habituales. No se realizó emparejamiento. Se consideró una relación 1:1 entre casos y controles. Las variables de resultado fueron CPO y mortalidad hospitalaria. Otras variables de interés fueron: tiempo quirúrgico y hospitalización. Se aplicó estadísticas descriptivas (cálculo de proporciones y medidas de tendencia central). Posteriormente, se aplicó prueba t-test y Chi2 para comparación de promedios y proporciones; y se calcularon odds ratios e intervalos de confianza del 95 %. Se operaron 39 pacientes con IA (18 casos y 21 controles). El promedio de edad e IMC fue 71,3±7,1 años y 27,3±19,8 kg/m2, respectivamente. El tiempo promedio de cierre de IA, tiempo quirúrgico y hospitalización fueron: 10,0±0,7 meses; 62,5±10,6 minutos; 3,8±0,1 días, respectivamente. Las CPO fueron infecciones del sitio quirúrgico (3 casos; 16,7 % y 3 controles; 14,3 %). No se observó dehiscencia anastomótica ni mortalidad hospitalaria en casos ni controles. No hubo diferencias en comorbilidades ni en infecciones del sitio quirúrgico entre casos y controles (OR de 0,6 y 1,2, respectivamente). No se evidenciaron diferencias entre realizar cierre temprano o tardío de IA, respecto de las variables CPO y de mortalidad hospitalaria.

Morbidity and mortality associated with loop ileostomy closure procedures in a reference service in coloproctology in Recife, Pernambuco / Morbimortalidade associada aos procedimentos de fechamento de ileostomia em alça em um serviço de referência em coloproctologia em Recife, Pernambuco (PE)

Objective: To evaluate the morbidity and mortality related to the surgical procedure of loop ileostomy closure, in a reference service in coloproctology, as well as possible variables that may be related to a higher frequency of complications. Methods: A retrospective study evaluated 66 procedures of loop ileostomy closure, performed between December 2005 and December 2017, at the coloproctology service of Barão de Lucena Hospital, in Recife, Brazil. Results: There were complications in 20 (30.3%) patients, 11 of whom were classified as grade I (Clavien-Dindo), and 9 of whom were classified as grade II to V. In 7.6% of the cases, one or more surgical reassessments were required. Mortality was 1.5%. There was no statistical relevance in the correlation of the studied variables with the occurrence of complications. Conclusion: Loop ileostomy closure presents an important morbidity, reaching more than 30%, although mortality is low. The analyzed variables did not show significant statistics for a higher occurrence of complications. (AU)

Não houve relevância estatística na correlação das variáveis estudadas com a ocorrência de complicações. Conclusão: O procedimento cirúrgico de fechamento de ileostomia apresenta morbidade importante, podendo chegar a mais de 30%, embora a mortalidade seja baixa. As variáveis analisadas não demonstraram significância estatística para maior ocorrência de complicações. (AU)

Hartmann procedure or resection with primary anastomosis for treatment of perforated diverticulitis? systematic review and meta-analysis / Procedimento de hartmann ou ressecção com anastomose primária para tratamento da diverticulite perfurada? revisão sistematizada e metanálise

ABSTRACT Background: The Hartmann procedure remains the treatment of choice for most surgeons for the urgent surgical treatment of perforated diverticulitis; however, it is associated with high rates of ostomy non-reversion and postoperative morbidity. Aim: To study the results after the Hartmann vs. resection with primary anastomosis, with or without ileostomy, for the treatment of perforated diverticulitis with purulent or fecal peritonitis (Hinchey grade III or IV), and to compare the advantages between the two forms of treatment. Method: Systematic search in the literature of observational and randomized articles comparing resection with primary anastomosis vs. Hartmann's procedure in the emergency treatment of perforated diverticulitis. Analyze as primary outcomes the mortality after the emergency operation and the general morbidity after it. As secondary outcomes, severe morbidity after emergency surgery, rates of non-reversion of the ostomy, general and severe morbidity after reversion. Results: There were no significant differences between surgical procedures for mortality, general morbidity and severe morbidity. However, the differences were statistically significant, favoring primary anastomosis in comparison with the Hartmann procedure in the outcome rates of stoma non-reversion, general morbidity and severe morbidity after reversion. Conclusion: Primary anastomosis is a good alternative to the Hartmann procedure, with no increase in mortality and morbidity, and with better results in the operation for intestinal transit reconstruction.

RESUMO Racional: O procedimento a Hartmann permanece sendo o tratamento de escolha da maioria dos cirurgiões para o tratamento cirúrgico de urgência da diverticulite perfurada, entretanto está associado com altas taxas de não reversão da ostomia e de morbidade pós-operatória. Objetivo: Estudar os resultados após o procedimento de Hartmann vs. ressecção com anastomose primária, com ou sem ileostomia, para o tratamento da diverticulite perfurada com peritonite purulenta ou fecal (grau de Hinchey III ou IV), e comparar as vantagens entre as duas formas de tratamento. Método: Busca sistemática na literatura de artigos observacionais e randomizados comparando ressecção com anastomose primária vs. procedimento de Hartmann no tratamento de urgência da diverticulite perfurada. Analisar como desfechos primários a mortalidade após a operação de urgência e a morbidade geral após ela; como desfechos secundários, a morbidade severa após a operação de urgência, as taxas de não reversão da ostomia, a morbidade geral e severa após a reversão. Resultados: Não houve diferenças significativas entre os procedimentos cirúrgicos para mortalidade, morbidade geral e morbidade severa. Contudo, as diferenças foram significativas estatisticamente favorecendo anastomose primária na comparação com procedimento de Hartmann nos desfechos taxas de não reversão do estoma, morbidade geral e morbidade severa após reversão. Conclusão: A anastomose primária apresenta-se como boa alternativa ao procedimento de Hartmann, sem aumento de mortalidade e morbidade, e com melhores resultados na operação de reconstrução do trânsito intestinal.

Fatores associados a não reconstrução do trânsito intestinal em pacientes com câncer retal submetidos à ressecção anterior do reto e ileostomia de proteção / Factors preventing restoration of bowel continuity in patients with rectal cancer submitted to anterior rectal resection and protective ileostomy

RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar os fatores associados ao não fechamento de ileostomia protetora após ressecção anterior do reto com excisão total do mesorreto por câncer retal, a morbidade associada ao fechamento destas ileostomias e a taxa de estomia permanente em pacientes com adenocarcinoma retal. Métodos: estudo retrospectivo de 174 pacientes consecutivos com diagnóstico de tumores retais, dos quais 92 foram submetidos à ressecção anterior do reto com intenção curativa, anastomose coloanal ou colorretal e ileostomia de proteção. Foi realizada análise multivariada visando a determinar os fatores associados à permanência definitiva da estomia, assim como o estudo da morbidade nos que se submeteram à reconstrução do trânsito. Resultados: no período de seguimento de 84 meses, 54 dos 92 pacientes avaliados (58,7%) tiveram a ileostomia fechada e 38 (41,3%) permaneceram com a estomia. Entre os 62 pacientes que tiveram a ileostomia fechada, 11 (17,7%) apresentaram algum tipo de complicação pós-operatória: três com deiscência de anastomose ileal, cinco com obstrução intestinal, dois com infecção de ferida operatória e um com pneumonia. Oito destes pacientes necessitaram de um novo estoma. Conclusão: de acordo com a análise multivariada, os fatores associados à permanência da estomia foram fístula de anastomose, presença de metástases e fechamento da ileostomia durante quimioterapia.

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the factors associated with non-closure of protective ileostomy after anterior resection of the rectum with total mesorectum excision for rectal cancer, the morbidity associated with the closure of ileostomies and the rate of permanent ileostomy in patients with rectal adenocarcinoma. Methods: we conducted a retrospective study with 174 consecutive patients diagnosed with rectal tumors, of whom 92 underwent anterior resection of the rectum with coloanal or colorectal anastomosis and protective ileostomy, with curative intent. We carried out a multivariate analysis to determine the factors associated with definite permanence of the stoma, as well as studied the morbidity of patients who underwent bowel continuity restoration. Results: In the 84-month follow-up period, 54 of the 92 patients evaluated (58.7%) had the ileostomy closed and 38 (41.3%) remained with the stoma. Among the 62 patients who had the ileostomy closed, 11 (17.7%) presented some type of postoperative complication: three had ileal anastomosis dehiscence, five had intestinal obstruction, two had surgical wound infection, and one, pneumonia. Eight of these patients required a new stoma. Conclusion: according to the multivariate analysis, the factors associated with stoma permanence were anastomotic fistula, presence of metastases and closure of the ileostomy during chemotherapy.

RESUMO Descrevemos um caso, homem, 50 anos, que foi operado para carcinoma de cólon descendente e ileostomia em alça para desvio. Transcorrido um ano, o paciente desenvolveu uma lesão vegetante na junção mucocutânea da ileostomia; a histologia revelou ser um carcinoma verrucoso.

Morbilidad global asociada a ileostomías en asa temporales / Morbidity associated to ileostomies

Introduction: The main indications for a loop ileostomy are to protect a distal anastomosis or to management of an anastomotic leak. However, it is a procedure with complications arising from its confection, function or closure. There are sparse local data on this topic. Objective: To describe the global morbidity from loop ileostomies. Method: Patients who underwent a loop ileostomy between January 2009 and January 2012 were retrospectively included. Demographics, indications, complications from the making, function and closure of the ileostomy was recorded. Results: The series consists of 64 patients. The total percentage of complications was 40.3 percent. Complications arising from the confection, function and closure were 4.7 percent, 18.7 percent and 16.9 percent respectively. Two patients were readmitted for dehydration with a total of 4 readmissions. Four patients were reoperated for morbidity of ileostomy closure, two intestinal obstructions, one leak and one enterotomy. Conclusion: In this study, loop ileostomy complications are present in a substantial proportion of patients. It should be take in consideration at the moment of making it.

Introducción: Las principales indicaciones de ileostomías en asa son proteger una anastomosis distal de alto riesgo o el manejo de una complicación séptica derivada de una filtración. Sin embargo, es un procedimiento que no está exento de complicaciones derivadas de la confección, función o cierre. En este contexto, existen escasas publicaciones que incluyen la morbilidad sumatoria. Objetivo: Describir la morbilidad global derivada de las ileostomías en asa. Método: Se incluyó en forma retrospectiva los pacientes a quienes se les practicó una ileostomía en asa de protección de una anastomosis distal entre enero de 2009 y enero de 2012. Se registraron datos demográficos, indicaciones y complicaciones derivadas de la confección, función y cierre de la ostomía. Resultados: La serie consta de 64 pacientes. Un 40,3 por ciento de los pacientes tuvieron una o más complicaciones. Complicaciones derivadas de la confección, función y cierre de la ileostomía fueron 4,7 por ciento, 18,7 por ciento y 16,9 por ciento respectivamente. Se rehospitalizaron por deshidratación 2 pacientes con un total de 4 rehospitalizaciones. Se reoperaron 4 pacientes por morbilidad del cierre de la ileostomía, 2 por obstrucción intestinal, 1 filtración y 1 enterotomía inadvertida. Conclusión: Las ileostomías en asa presentan complicaciones en un importante porcentaje de los pacientes, lo que debe ser tomado en cuenta al decidir su confección.

Acute angle closure glaucoma following ileostomy surgery

Angle-closure glaucoma can be induced by drugs that may cause pupillary dilatation. We report a case of a patient that developed bilateral angle closure glaucoma after an ileostomy surgery because of systemic atropine injection. This case report highlights the importance of a fast ophthalmologic evaluation in diseases with ocular involvement in order to make accurate diagnoses and appropriate treatments.

O glaucoma de fechamento angular pode ser induzido por drogas que podem causar dilatação da pupila. Nós relatamos um caso no qual a paciente desenvolveu fechamento angular em ambos os olhos após injeção sistêmica de atropina. Este caso mostra a importância de uma pronta intervenção em doenças com envolvimento ocular com o objetivo de realizar o tratamento adequado.

What are the risk factors for readmission in patients with an ileostomy? / Quais são os fatores de risco para readmissão em pacientes com ileostomia?

PURPOSE: the aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for readmission among patients submitted to colorectal surgery. METHODS: a single-center colorectal quality-assessment database was queried for patients undergoing colorectal procedures with ileostomy during 2009. The sample was divided into readmitted vs. non-readmitted. Readmission was defined as admission within the first 30 days after the index procedure. Groups were compared by pre, intra and postoperative characteristics. A multivariate analysis was performed to identify the risk factors for readmission. RESULTS: the query returned 496 patients, [267 (54%) males, median age 48 years (IQR: 34-60)]. Eighty-three (17%) were readmitted; 296 patients (60%), were operated due to inflammatory bowel disease, 89 (18%) for cancer, 16 (3%) for diverticular disease and 95 (19%) for other diagnosis. The three most common procedures were total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in 103 patients (21%), total colectomy with end ileostomy in 117 (24%) and small bowel resections (including enterocutaneous fistula takedown and J-pouch excision) in 149 (30%). The following variables were significantly more common in readmitted patients: current smoking (24% vs. 14%, p = 0.02), postoperative DVT/PE (10% vs. 4%, p = 0.04), wound infection (20% vs. 10% p = 0.01), sepsis (22% vs. 8% p < 0.001) and organ or space surgical site infection (OrgSSI) (35% vs. 5%, p < 0.001). Postoperative OrgSSI was the only independent factor associated with readmission in a multivariate analysis (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: colorectal surgeons should be alert for OrgSSI when facing an ileostomy patient readmitted after a colorectal procedure. (AU)

OBJETIVO: o objetivo deste estudo foi identificar os fatores de risco para readmissão em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia colorretal. MÉTODOS: um banco de dados de avaliação da qualidade colorretal em um único centro foi consultado para pacientes submetidos à procedimentos colorretais com ileostomia em 2009. A amostra foi dividida em readmitidos versus não readmitidos. A readmissão foi definida como a admissão dentro dos primeiros 30 dias após o procedimento índice. os grupos foram comparados em relação à características pré, intra e pós-operatórias. A análise multivariada foi realizada para identificar os fatores de risco para readmissão. RESULTADOS: a consulta identificou 496 pacientes, [267 (54%) do sexo masculino, idade média de 48 anos (VIQ: 34 -60)]. oitenta e três (17%) foram readmitidos; 296 pacientes (60%) foram operados por doença inflamatória intestinal, 89 (18%) por câncer, 16 (3%) por doença diverticular e 95 (19%) devido a outro diagnóstico. os três procedimentos mais comuns foram proctocolectomia total com anastomose anal e bolsa ileal (IPAA) em 103 pacientes (21%), colectomia total com ileostomia final em 117 (24%) e ressecções do intestino delgado (incluindo a remoção de fístula enterocutânea e excisão da bolsa em J) em 149 (30%). As seguintes variáveis foram significativamente mais comuns em pacientes readmitidos: tabagismo atual (24 % vs. 14%, p = 0,02), TVP/EP pós-operatório (10% vs. 4 %, p = 0,04), infecção da ferida cirúrgica (20 % vs. 10% p = 0,01), sepse (22% vs. 8%, p < 0,001) e infecção de órgão/espaço do sítio cirúrgico (IOSC) (35 % vs. 5%, p < 0,001). A infecção do IOSC pós-operatório foi o único fator independente associado com a readmissão na análise multivariada (p < 0,001). CONCLUSÃO: os cirurgiões colorretais devem estar alertas para IOSC diante de um paciente com ileostomia readmitido após um procedimento colorretal. (AU)

Ileitis tras ileostomía / Bleeding ileitis following ileostomy

Background: The incidence of ileitis following ileostomy is 5 percent. Material and Method: We report a 79 years old male with a sigmoid cancer presenting with an intestinal obstruction. Results: Patient required a subtotal colectomy, leaving a terminal ileostomy in the right lower flank. Three days after the intervention, the patient had a profuse bleeding through the ileostomy. An emergency endoscopy showed multiple bleeding ulcers in the ileostomy. The patient did not respond to medical treatment and required a new intervention, excising 20 cm of distal ileum and performing a new ileostomy. The pathological study of the excised segment showed multiple superficial ulcers with abundant inflammatory cells.

Introducción: La ileitis tras ileostomía es una entidad poco frecuente, pero que conlleva una importante morbilidad. Objetivo: Describir un caso de ileitis postileostomía sin respuesta al tratamiento médico y revisar la literatura sobre el tema. Material y Método: Presentamos el caso de un varón de 79 años con sangrado agudo por ileostoma tras colectomía subtotal. Resultados: Tras fracaso de la terapia médica fue necesario realizar resección de segmento de íleon terminal afecto. Conclusiones: Se debe pensar en ileitis postileostomía en caso de ileostomías muy productivas o ileorragias y comenzar tratamiento esteroideo temprano y realizar ileoscopia precoz. La cirugía se reserva para aquellos casos en los que no es eficaz el tratamiento médico.

Morbidade e mortalidade associadas ao fechamento de colostomias e ileostomias em alça acessadas pelo estoma intestinal / Morbidity and mortality associated to loop colostomy and ileostomy closure

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a morbimortalidade de operações realizadas para fechamento de colostomias e ileostomias em alça. MÉTODOS: Foram analisados os dados epidemiológicos, complicações pós-operatórias, morbidade e mortalidade de pacientes que se submeteram à operações para fechamento de colostomias e ileostomias em alça. Foram excluídos os pacientes cujos dados não puderam ser obtidos nos prontuários e os que operações para fechamento requereram laparotomia mediana. RESULTADOS: Foram operados 88 pacientes, sendo cinco excluídos. Foram avaliados os dados de 83 pacientes, 56 pacientes com colostomias (grupo C) e 27 com ileostomias (grupo I). O sexo masculino predominou em ambos os grupos (grupo C = 71,9% e grupo I = 57,7%). No grupo C a indicação mais comum para a confecção do estoma foi trauma abdominal (43,9%) e no grupo I foi proteção de anastomose colorretal (57,6%). A taxa de deiscência de anastomose no grupo C foi 3,5% e no grupo I foi 19,2 %. A morbidade no grupo I foi maior do que no grupo C (30,7% X 12,2%). Ocorreu um óbito no grupo I. CONCLUSÃO: O estudo sugere que taxas de morbidade associadas ao fechamento do estoma são altas e foram maiores no grupo de pacientes com ileostomia em alça.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the morbidity and mortality of operations for closure of loop colostomies and ileostomies. METHODS: We analyzed epidemiological data, postoperative complications, morbidity and mortality of patients who underwent operations for closure of loop colostomies and ileostomies. We excluded patients whose data could not be obtained from the files and operations that required laparotomy for closure. RESULTS: 88 patients were operated on, five being excluded. We evaluated the data of 83 patients, 56 patients with colostomies (group C) and 27 with ileostomies (group I). Males predominated in both groups (C = 71.9% and I = 57.7%). In group C the most common indication for making the stoma was abdominal trauma (43.9%) and in group I it was protecting a colorectal anastomosis (57.6%). The rate of anastomotic dehiscence in group C was 3.5% and in group I 19.2%. Morbidity was higher in group I than in group C (30.7% vs. 12.2%). There was one death in group I. CONCLUSION: The study suggests that morbidity associated with stoma closure is high, being higher in patients with loop ileostomy.

Role of gum chewing on the duration of postoperative ileus following lleostomy closure done for typhoid ileal perforation: a prospective randomized trial

There is ample evidence in the recent literature that gum chewing after elective colonic anastomosis decreases postoperative ileus [POI]. But there are very few studies on small bowel anastomosis done in relaparotomy cases. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of gum chewing on the duration of POI following small bowel anastomosis performed for the closure of intestinal stoma, made as temporary diversion in the selected cases of typhoid perforation peritonitis. Hundred patients undergoing elective small bowel anastomosis for the closure of stoma were randomly assigned to the study group [n=50] and the control group [n=50]. The study group patients chewed gum thrice a day for 1 h each time starting 6 h after the surgery until the passage of first flatus. The control group patients had standard postoperative treatment. Study and control group patients were comparable at inclusion. The mean time for the appearance of bowel sounds as well as the passage of first flatus was significantly shorter in the study group [P=0.040, P=0.006]. The feeling of hunger was also experienced earlier in study group cases [P=0.004]. The postoperative hospital stay was shorter in the study group, but the difference was not significant [P=0.059]. The cases of relaparotomy requiring additional adhesiolysis and small bowel anastomosis for stoma closure are benefited by postoperative gum chewing

Temporary ileostomy for the preservation of colon fistula in patients with postoperative complications: case report

Among the postoperative complications in the digestive system, the fistulae are the most common ones. The changes resulting from these fistulae are very important, once they can determine the patient's situation and the development of multiple organic failures. This paper reports the case of a patient who had relevant complications after having undergone temporary ileostomy to maintain the colon fistulized. About 90 to 95% of the digestive tract fistulae have spontaneous resolution. In some cases, the general state of the patient compromises the spontaneous closure. In this study, after one month of nutritional support and medicine treatment, the spontaneous closure of the colon fistula did not occur, thus, a surgical intervention was necessary to solve the case. (AU)

Dentre as complicações pós-operatórias do aparelho digestório, as fístulas apresentam alta incidência. As alterações decorrentes dessas fístulas são muito importantes, pois podem determinar o agravamento do estado geral do paciente e o desenvolvimento de insuficiências orgânicas múltiplas. O presente trabalho relata o caso de um paciente com complicações relevantes após a realização de uma ileostomia temporária para preservação do cólon fistulizado. A maioria (90-95%) das fístulas do trato digestório tem resolução espontânea; entretanto, em alguns casos, o estado geral do paciente compromete o fechamento espontâneo. No caso em estudo, após um mês de suporte nutricional e tratamento medicamentoso, o fechamento espontâneo da fístula de cólon não ocorreu, sendo necessária a intervenção cirúrgica para resolução do caso. (AU)

Complications in cases of enteric perforation

Enteric perforation is a disastrous complication of untreated or poorly treated typhoid fever and unless treated by surgical method, it results in considerable morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study to describe complications of ileostomy in patients of enteric perforation. The study was conducted was in surgical units B-V hospital, Bahawalpur from 1[st] July 2008 to 30[th] June 2009. This was a descriptive case series study. 100 patients of both genders suffering from typhoid fever with perforation who underwent ileostomy were included the study. All the data was collected on pre-designed proforma. Most of the patients were young with male to female ratio 1.6:1. Ileostomy was done in all the patients after cleaning the peritoneal cavity. Ileostomy was associated with diarrhea 20%, peristomal skin problems 22%. Other complications were bleeding in 3%,prolapsed in 5%, retraction in 4%, parastomal hernia in 5%, wound infection in 8%, intestinal obstruction in 5% patients, incisional hernia and psychological symptoms in 2% patients and stoma stenosis in one patient in our study. Two patients expired due the complication of ileostomy. Although ileostomy is not the most favored way of treatment of enteric perforation and it is associated with a number of complications and management problems, it is still a good option and life saving procedure in our setup where patients present very late with gross peritoneal contamination

Adenocarcinoma primario de ileostomía en pacientes con poliposis adenomatosa familiar: [revisión] / Ileostomy primary adenocarcinoma in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis: [review]

El adenocarcinoma primario desarrollado sobre una ileostomía en pacientes con Poliposis adenomatosa familíar (PAF) coloproctectomizados es altamente infrecuente. Su aparición ha sido descripta en pacientes con ileostomía definitiva por PAF, rectocolitis ulcerosa y enfermedad de Crohn, aumentando su incidencia cuando la ostomía lleva más de 20 años. Hasta la fecha se han publicado 52 casos de carcinomas sobre la ostomía, 12 de ellos en PAF, sin el presente reporte. Se informan en el siguiente trabajo dos casos de adenocarcinoma primario de ileon, desarrollados sobre una ileostomía, pertenecientes al Registro de Poliposis del Hospital de Gastroenterología Dr. Carlos Bonorino Udaondo. Se efectúa una revisión bibliográfica, se informa sobre el seguimiento y la resolución de esta entidad poco frecuente.

Primary adenocarcinoma arising from the ileostomy site in patients with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) is unfrequent. It has been described in patients with definitive ileostomy due to FAP, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's Disease. Its incidence increases with the time of follow-up (>20 years). Only 52 cases of this type and location of adenocarcinoma have been reported, 12 of them in patients with FAP. This paper reports 2 cases of primary ileal adenocarcinoma arising from the ileostomy site. Patients belong to the Polyposis Database of the Hospital de Gastroenterologia Dr. Carlos Bonorino Udaondo. Assessment, treatment and follow-up of these two patients is described, as well as a review of the literature of this unfrequent entity.

Complicaciones del cierre de la ileostomía en asa / Complications of loop ileostomy closure

Introducción: No existe abundante literatura sobre morbilidad del cierre de la ileostomía en asa. En Chile, hay sólo 2 comunicaciones. Objetivo: Medir las complicaciones del cierre de la ileostomía en asa, compararlas con las de la literatura, y con la morbilidad del cierre de colostomía en asa publicado por nosotros el año 2000. Material y Método: 57 pacientes: 35 mujeres (61,4 por ciento) y 22 hombres (38,6 por ciento), fueron operados entre 1992 y 2002, empleando técnica manual. Morbilidad fue registrada hasta los 30 días. Resultados: 7 pacientes presentaron complicaciones (12,3 por ciento): 3 íleos (5,3 por ciento) resueltos médicamente; 3 obstrucciones intestinales (5,3 por ciento) y 1 perforación del asa eferente (1,7 por ciento) que fueron reoperadas (7,1 por ciento). No hubo infección de herida operatoria, ni mortalidad. Conclusiones: Nuestra morbilidad en cierre de ileostomía en asa, es semejante a la de la literatura. Sin embargo ella es mayor que la del cierre de la colostomía en asa de nuestra serie histórica de 75 casos (morbilidad 6 por ciento y reoperación 1,3 por ciento).

Pioderma periileostómico: caso clínico / Peri-ileostomic pyoderma gangrenosum: report of one case

We report a 39 years old woman with Ulcerative Colitis unresponsive to medical treatment. A total colectomy with Brooke ileostomy was performed, as the first operation. After six weeks she developed a peri-ileostomic Pyoderma Gangrenosum. She was treated by a multidisciplinary team, and after seven months with local treatment and systemic medication, the skin healed. Her bowel transit was reconstructed later with an ileoanal pouch and she was reinserted into her previous job (Rev Méd Chile 2004: 132: 747-9).
