Uso de ileostomía derivativa en cáncer de ovario. Revisión de la literatura / Use of diverting ileostomy in ovarian cancer. Literature review

Introducción. La ileostomía derivativa de protección se realiza con el objetivo de proteger la anastomosis intestinal después de una resección colorrectal. Esta resección intestinal es el procedimiento extendido más frecuentemente realizado en pacientes con cáncer de ovario, con el fin de lograr una citorreducción completa. Conocer las indicaciones, el uso, las técnicas y las complicaciones de las ileostomías es importante para los grupos multidisciplinarios que tratan estas pacientes. Métodos. Se realizó una búsqueda en PubMed vía Medline y una revisión narrativa actualizada de los principales hallazgos sobre las indicaciones, las técnicas quirúrgicas, complicaciones y el uso de la ileostomía derivativa en el cáncer de ovario. Resultados. El uso de la ileostomía derivativa en cáncer de ovario sigue siendo un tema controvertido. Hasta la fecha, ni la ileostomía de derivación ni la ileostomía fantasma se han asociado con una reducción en la incidencia de la fuga anastomótica, pero ambas técnicas podrían disminuir su gravedad. Conclusión. La ileostomía de derivación en cáncer de ovario se usa para proteger una anastomosis distal tras una resección intestinal, en caso de fuga anastomótica si no se ha realizado una ostomía previa o en caso de obstrucción intestinal.

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.

Estomas: complicaciones, manejo y prevención. Una revisión actual / Stomas: complications, management, and prevention. An updated review

Introducción. La resección segmentaria del intestino y su derivación temporal o definitiva es un procedimiento frecuente en la práctica quirúrgica, que implica la construcción de un estoma. La enfermedad que lleva a la cirugía, las condiciones clínicas del paciente y los aspectos técnicos en la construcción de la ostomía son puntos claves en la evolución posoperatoria. Métodos. Se realizó una revisión de la literatura identificando las complicaciones asociadas a la construcción de estomas, con el objetivo de ofrecer herramientas de tratamiento y toma de decisiones al personal médico involucrado en la atención de estos pacientes. Resultados. La cirugía de urgencia, la inmunosupresión, la obesidad y la técnica en la apertura del orificio en la pared abdominal, favorecen la aparición de complicaciones tempranas que requieren manejo médico o reintervención quirúrgica. Conclusiones. Todo paciente con estoma debe ser valorado minuciosamente por el cirujano y la terapista enterostomal en las primeras 72 horas luego de la cirugía.

Introduction. Segmental resection of the intestine and its temporary or permanent bypass is a frequent procedure in surgical practice, which involves the construction of a stoma. The disease that leads to surgery, the clinical conditions of the patient and the technical aspects in the construction of the ostomy are key points in the postoperative evolution. Methods. A review of the literature was performed, identifying the complications associated with the construction of stomas, with the aim of offering treatment and decision-making tools to the medical personnel involved in the care of these patients. Results. Emergency surgery, immunosuppression, obesity, and the technique used to open the orifice in the abdominal wall favor the appearance of early complications that require medical management or surgical reintervention. Conclusions. Every patient with a stoma must be carefully evaluated by the surgeon and the enterostomal therapist in the first 72 hours after surgery.

Clinical application of ileostomy with type B suture / 中华普通外科杂志

Objective:To evaluate safety and efficacy of B-type suture method ileostomy.Methods:Clinical data from 204 patients undergoing laparoscopic low anterior resection combined with protective ileostomy was analysed. Patients were divided into B-type suture ileostomy group ( n=67) and traditional ileostomy group ( n=137). Results:compared with traditional ileostomy group, B-type suture ileostomy group showed statistically significant differences in total operation time [(164±26) min vs. (172±24) min, t=2.229, P=0.027], ileostomy time [(12.7±2.3) min vs. (14.8±2.2) min, t=-6.565, P<0.001], blood loss [(57±20) ml vs. (69±31) ml, t=-2.797, P=0.006], postoperative hospital stay [(10.2±1.9) d vs. (11.8±2.3) d, t=-4.851, P<0.001], specimen incision infection rate (0 vs. 5.1%, P=0.047), postoperative body pain [82 (79-84) vs. 78 (76-80), Z=-5.805, P<0.001], and ileostomy incorporation time [(46±11) min vs. (51±12) min, t=-2.540, P=0.012]. Conclusion:B-type suture ileostomy for prophylactic ileostomy in laparoscopic low anterior resection for rectal cancer is safe and feasible.

Ileostomy: early and late complications

Introduction: Ileostomy formation is performed for multiple purposes related to intestinal pathology, such as obstructive malignant or benign tumors, inflammatory bowel diseases, intestinal ischemia, and, for the most part, as a protective stoma in high-risk anastomosis. The creation of this surgical opening, despite being considered a simple procedure, is undoubtedly followed by complications in certain cases. Materials and Methods: We conducted an electronic literature search in the MEDLINE database using the PubMed search engine. A total of 43 articles were included in the present review. Results/Discussion: Over the course of the present work, we were able to explore different types of complications that can arise in patients with an ileostomy. High-output stomas were found to be associated with dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Skin-related morbidity was shown to be present in a great percentage of patients. More severe complications, such as peristomal pyoderma gangrenosum and necrosis, are less frequent and require urgent management. Several risk factors were identified in cases of retraction, obstruction, prolapse, and parastomal herniation. Conclusion: Even though ileostomies may present numerous benefits in certain patients, they are also associated with many complications, which should be avoided and quickly managed, because they can severely affect the quality of life of the patients. Surveillance and follow-up by a multidisciplinary team is strongly advisable, bearing in mind that a good performance on the part of the responsible surgeon is also a key factor. (AU)

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.

Ghost ileostomy release down: our initial experience

Background: Many publications describe the advantages of the creation of ghost ileostomy (GI) to prevent the need for formal covering ileostomy in more than 80% of carcinoma rectum patients. However, none of the papers describes exactly how to ultimately remove the GI in these 80% of patients in whom it doesn't need formal maturation. Aim: To describe and evaluate the ghost ileostomy release down (GIRD) technique in terms of feasibility, complications, hospital stay, procedure time etc. in patients with low anterior resection/ultra-low anterior resection (LAR/uLAR) with GI for carcinoma rectum. Method: The present was a prospective cohort study of patients with restorative colorectal resections with GI for carcinoma rectum, Postoperatively the patients were studied with respect to ease and feasibility of the release down of GI and its complications. The data was collected, analyzed and inference drawn. Results: A total of 26 patients needed the GIRD and were included in the final statistical analysis of the study. The procedure was done between 7th to 16th postoperative days (POD) and was successful in all patients without the need of any additional surgical procedure. None of the patients required any local anesthetic injection or any extra analgesics. The average time taken for procedure was 5-minutes and none of the patients had any significant difficulty in GI release. There were no immediate postprocedure complications. Conclusion: The GIRD technique is a simple, safe, and quick procedure done around the 10th POD that can easily be performed by the bedside of patient without the need of any anesthesia or additional analgesics.

Invaginación Apendicular en preescolar: Reporte de un caso y revisión de la literatura / Appendicular invagination in a pre-school child; a case-report and literature review

La invaginación intestinal sucede cuando un segmento del intestino se introduce en otro. La presentación apendicular es menos común, afectando principalmente a lactantes. Frecuentemente, se comprueba durante el intraoperatorio. El tratamiento es la desinvaginación, seguido de la exéresis del apéndice. De no lograrse, se prefiere la resección amplia o una hemicolectomía derecha. Se presenta en caso de una niña de 4 años que acudió por dolor abdominal, hiporexia, vómitos y sensación de alza térmica; la ecografía mostró conglomeración de asas intestinales e imagen redondeada. En cirugía se encontró invaginación apendicular que compromete el ciego, se resecó la masa hasta el inicio del colon ascendente. Se realizó una ileostomía sin fístula mucosa; el estudio anatomo-patológico informó necrosis del apéndice cecal. Tres meses después se restituyó el tránsito intestinal. La Intususcepción apendicular tiene síntomas inespecíficos. En Perú, puede llegar a ser mortal. Una historia clínica detallada con evaluación minuciosa ofrece un acertado diagnóstico y un tratamiento oportuno.

SUMMARY Intestinal invagination occurs when an intestinal segment is introduced into another segment. The appendicular presentation is less common and affects predominantly infants. The diagnosis is corroborated during the surgical intervention which consists of de-invagination followed by surgical removal of the appendix, if the latter is not possible then a wide resection or right hemicolectomy is indicated. We present the case of a 4-year-old girl who attended with a history of abdominal pain, anorexia, vomiting and fever; an abdominal ultrasound showed intestinal agglomeration and a rounded mass. The surgical findings included appendicular invagination that affected the cecum, the lesion was resected until the ascending colon. An ileostomy was performed, the anatomopathological findings indicated necrosis of the appendix. Three months later the normal intestinal transit was restored. Appendicular intussusception has non-specific symptoms and could be mortal in Peru. A detailed clinical history may help in diagnosing and offering proper treatment.

Recent progress in early closure of protective ileostomy after rectal cancer surgery / 国际外科学杂志

The timing for closure of prophylactic ileostomy after rectal cancer surgery is not unified, and it is generally recommended to return the stoma after 3 months. With the application of enhanced recovery after surgery in clinical patients and the continuous progress of technology, the effectiveness and safety of early ileostomy closure (EIC) are the focus of current researches. More and more patients with rectal cancer begin to receive neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, which also brings uncertainty to the time of ileostomy closure. prophylactic ileostomy not only brings about stoma-related complications, but also brings great psychological burden to patients. Some patients have an urgent need for EIC, but there is no consensus on the optimal timing for EIC and which patients need EIC. This article reviews the advantages, controversies, optimal timing, the influence of chemoradiotherapy, the indications and contraindications of early closure and provide reference for clinicians.

Factors influencing the occurrence of parastomal hernia after preventive ileostomy for colorectal cancer / 中国医师杂志

Objective:To explore the risk factors related to the formation of parastomal hernia (PSH) in patients with colorectal cancer after preventive ileostomy, provide Evidence-based medicine basis for prevention and treatment, and reduce the incidence of incision hernia (SSIH) at the stoma.Methods:The clinical data of 214 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer combined with preventive loop ileostomy in the General Surgery Department of the Linyi People′s Hospital from January 2019 to May 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The incidence of PSH was statistically analyzed, and the risk factors of PSH were analyzed by binary logistic regression.Results:There were 177 cases of PSH in 214 patients, with an incidence rate of 82.71%. There were 5 cases of SSIH (2.34%). The results of single factor analysis showed that there were significant differences in body mass index (BMI), postoperative diversion time and the proportion of stoma through rectus abdominis muscle between the PSH group and the non PSH group (all P<0.05); The results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that BMI, postoperative diversion time, rectus abdominis muscle stoma, incision infection and liquefaction were important influencing factors for the formation of PSH after preventive loop ileostomy for colorectal cancer (all P<0.05). Conclusions:BMI, postoperative diversion time, rectus abdominis muscle stoma, incision infection and liquefaction are important influencing factors for the formation of PSH after preventive ileostomy. Intervention measures can be targeted to reduce the incidence of SSIH by reducing the risk of PSH.

Application of intestinal fluid reinfusion after anterior resection of rectum and preventive ileostomy in patients with low rectal cancer / 中国医师进修杂志

Objective:To analyze the effect of intestinal fluid reinfusion after anterior resection of rectum and preventive ileostomy in patients with low rectal cancer.Methods:A prospective research method was used, and 60 patients with low rectal cancer in Zhejiang Jinhua Guangfu Tumor Hospital from January 2021 to June 2022 were enrolled. The patients were divided into control group (treated with anterior resection of rectum and preventive ileostomy) and observation group (treated with anterior resection of rectum and preventive ileostomy combined with intestinal fluid infusion) by random number table method with 30 cases each. On the next day and 3 months after surgery, the low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) scale was used to evaluate anal function, the patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA) method was used to evaluate nutritional status, the stoma-quality of life (stoma-QOL) was used to evaluate the quality of life. The complications were recorded.Results:Both groups of patients were successfully completed the scheduled surgery. There were no statistical differences in LARS score and incidence of LARS on the next day after surgery between the two groups ( P>0.05); the LARS score and incidence of LARS 3 months after surgery in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group: (18.63 ± 3.15) scores vs. (24.90 ± 6.11) scores and 23.33% (7/30) vs. 46.67% (14/30), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 or <0.05). There were no statistical differences in PG-SGA score and incidence of malnutrition on the next day after surgery between the two groups ( P>0.05); the PG-SGA score and incidence of malnutrition 3 months after surgery in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group: (3.07 ± 0.82) scores vs. (5.13 ± 1.01) scores and 26.67% (8/30) vs. 46.67% (14/30), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 or <0.05). There were no statistical differences in the scores of psychological burden, social interaction, stoma management and daily living of stoma-QOL on the next day after surgery between the two groups ( P>0.05); the scores 3 months after surgery in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group: (27.70 ± 4.28) scores vs. (21.47 ± 5.16) scores, (14.33 ± 2.03) scores vs. (11.90 ± 1.64) scores, (14.87 ± 1.92) scores vs. (11.57 ± 2.38) scores and (15.30 ± 1.03) scores vs. (12.37 ± 2.11) scores, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). The incidence of complications in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group: 30.00% (9/30) vs. 60.00% (18/30), and there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 5.45, P<0.05). Conclusions:For the patients with low rectal cancer, the anterior resection of rectum and preventive ileostomy combined with intestinal fluid reinfusion can reduce LARS, improve nutritional status, improve quality of life, and also reduce complications.

Application of Laparoscopic Surgery in Ileostomy Reversal / 肿瘤防治研究

In colorectal cancer surgery, loop ileostomy is sometimes necessary to prevent anastomotic leakage. Although ileostomy reversal is relatively simple, postoperative complication is inevitable. In recent years, laparoscopic surgery has been gradually applied in ileostomy reversal due to its small trauma, fast recovery, and low complications, exhibiting satisfactory short-term outcomes. This review analyzes the application of the laparoscopic technique in ileostomy surgery and explores the potential of total laparoscopic surgery, aiming to provide a new perspective for the clinical application of laparoscopic ileostomy reversal.

Derivação intestinal à bishop-koop - um novo uso para uma velha técnica / Bishop-koop ostomy revisited: a "test-drive" intestinal diversion for children with suspected bowel dysmotility

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Bishop-Koop ileostomy has been widely used in pediatric patients with the intention of including as much bowel as possible in the intestinal transit early in the management of children with meconium ileus and intestinal atresia. In recent years, we have been using it as an alternative to test the distal bowel function before closure of a previously constructed ostomy in selected children with questionable distal bowel motility. AIMS: The aim of this study was to present our experience with this alternative use of the Bishop-Koop ostomy. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional retrospective review of hospital records, combined with a comprehensive literature review. RESULTS: Seven children were included: five had suspected aganglionosis, one had gastroschisis complicated with ileal atresia, and one had a colonic stricture secondary to necrotizing enterocolitis. In this short series of patients, motility of the distal bowel was correctly assessed in six patients and partially correctly assessed in one patient. One patient did not pass stools per anus after the Bishop-Koop, and he was later confirmed to have Hirschsprung disease. Four patients resumed normal evacuation pattern after closure of the Bishop-Koop. One patient had a Bishop-Koop colostomy because of recurrent enterocolitis after a transanal pull-through. Although he evacuated normally while having the colostomy, the diarrhea recurred after the ostomy was closed. An additional patient, with a severe behavioral problem, did not evacuate per anus after her colostomy was transformed in a Bishop-Koop-type ostomy, despite the apparent presence of normal ganglia in the bowel wall. CONCLUSIONS: Data from the present series allow us to affirm that Bishop-Koop-type ostomy is a safe and efficient procedure that can be used to assess distal bowel function before a definitive transit reconstruction, in children with uncertain motility issues.

RESUMO RACIONAL: A ileostomia Bishop-Koop foi amplamente utilizada em pacientes pediátricos com a intenção de incluir o máximo de intestino possível no trânsito intestinal no manejo inicial de recém-nascidos com íleo meconial e atresia intestinal. Nos últimos anos, temos usado-a como alternativa para testar a função intestinal distal antes do fechamento de uma ostomia, em algumas crianças com motilidade intestinal distal questionável. OBJETIVOS: Apresentar nossa experiência com este uso alternativo da ostomia Bishop-Koop. MÉTODOS: Revisão retrospectiva dos registros hospitalares, combinada com uma revisão abrangente da literatura. RESULTADOS: Sete crianças foram incluídas: cinco tinham suspeita de aganglionose, uma tinha gastrosquise complicada com atresia ileal e uma tinha estenose de colon secundária à NEC. Nesta pequena série de pacientes, a motilidade do intestino distal foi corretamente avaliada em 6 pacientes e parcialmente avaliada em um. Um paciente não evacuou por ânus após o Bishop-Koop e mais tarde foi confirmado que ele tinha doença de Hirschsprung. Seis pacientes retomaram o padrão normal de evacuação após o fechamento do Bishop-Koop. Um paciente que fez uma colostomia Bishop-Koop por causa de enterocolite recorrente após um abaixamento transanal, recidivou a enterocolite após o fechamento definitivo. CONCLUSÕES: A ostomia tipo Bishop-Koop é um procedimento seguro e eficaz que pode ser utilizado para avaliar a função intestinal distal antes de uma reconstrução definitiva do trânsito em crianças com problemas de motilidade intestinal.

Quality of life of people with intestinal ostomies and associated factors / Calidad de vida de personas con estomas intestinales y factores asociados / Qualidade de vida das pessoas com estomias intestinais e fatores associados

ABSTRACT Objective: to assess the quality of life of individuals with intestinal ostomies and its association with sociodemographic and clinical factors. Method: a cross-sectional and correlational study conducted between August 2019 and December 2021, involving individuals with intestinal ostomies registered at the Orthotics and Prosthetics Service of the Municipal Health Department of São Luís-Maranhão. The questionnaires used included a sociodemographic one, a clinical one, and the City Of Hope - Quality Of Life - Ostomy Questionnaire (COH-QOL-OQ). The statistical analyses were conducted using the SPSS Statistics 20.1 software for Windows, with a 5% significance level. Normality was verified using the Shapiro-Wilk test, and the correlations between independent and dependent variables were assessed using paired t-tests. Results: the sample consisted of 154 participants, mostly men (62.6%), with a mean age of 49.94 years old and Incomplete Elementary School (35%). The majority had colostomies (81.2%), temporary (61%), and cancer as etiology (47.4%). In terms of quality of life, the mean scores for the spiritual well-being domain (8.45) stood out, followed by the physical (4.05), psychological (5.85) and social (6.33) domains. The association between sociodemographic/clinical factors, and quality of life was statistically significant (p≤0.05) for religion, schooling, type and characteristics of the household, ostomy permanence and complications, post-ostomy employment, presence of spouse, physical activity, and access to health services. Etiology of the ostomy was found to be significantly associated with the physical (p=0.03), psychological (p=0.01) and social (p=0.01) domains, as well as overall (p=0.05). Conclusion: the study revealed a significant association for the physical, psychological, social and spiritual domains, impacting the quality of life and care practices for individuals with ostomies and their families.

Conclusão: o estudo mostrou associação significante para os domínios físico, psicológico, social e espiritual, com impacto a qualidade de vida e nas práticas de cuidado às pessoas com estomias e seus familiares.

Adenocarcinoma primario de unión ileocutánea / Primary adenocarcinoma of ileo-cutaneous junction

El adenocarcinoma de intestino delgado es una patología poco frecuente, y menos aún de la unión ileocutánea. Tener una ileostomía en el contexto de una cirugía por enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal se ha descrito dentro de los factores predisponentes. Se reporta un caso de adenocarcinoma de unión ileocutánea 34 años posterior a panproctocolectomía por colitis ulcerosa. Se discute la presentación, estudio y posterior tratamiento quirúrgico, además de breve revisión de la literatura.

Small bowel adenocarcinoma is a rare disease, and even more of the ileo-cutaneous junction. Having an end-ileostomy after surgery for inflammatory bowel disease has been described among the predisposing factors.

New use of an absorbable adhesion barrier (INTERCEED) for temporary diverting ileostomy in minimally invasive rectal surgery

Objectives: Sometimes, severe adhesion occurs between the rectus abdominis muscle and the ileal intestinal limbs after temporary diverting ileostomy. This can make ileostomy reversal difficult. The aim of the present study is to assess whether absorbable adhesion barrier made of oxidized regenerated cellulose (INTERCEED) could contribute to improved surgical outcomes in stoma reversal. Methods: This was a single-institutional retrospective study. A total of 36 consecutive patients who underwent ileostomy reversal by a single surgeon were retrospectively reviewed. INTERCEED was inserted between the ileal limbs and the rectus abdominis muscle at the time of ileostomy creation in 12 patients. Surgical outcomes of the ileostomy reversal were compared between patients treated with and without INTERCEED. Results:The degree of adhesion formation between the ileal limbs and the rectus abdominis muscles, operating time, and estimated blood loss were significantly reduced in patients treated with INTERCEED compared with those treated by the conventional approach. None of the patients in the INTERCEED group had postoperative complications after the initial surgery and ileostomy reversal. Conclusions: INTERCEED is suitable for insertion between the ileal limbs and the rectus abdominis muscles because of its softness and flexibility. The use of INTERCEED for diverting ileostomy contributes to reduced adhesion formation, operative time, and blood loss in patients, and further research is needed to confirm our results. (AU)

Comparative study of wound healing following purse-string closure versus conventional linear closure for stoma reversal

Background: Stoma closure is associated with several complications, wound infection being the most common. This study is done to establish that purse string suture closure method for stoma closure is superior to the conventional linear mattress closure and is associated with better wound healing cosmesis. Materials and Methods: This Prospective randomized controlled study enrolled 80 patients who underwent stoma closure from April 2021 to March 2022 in department of General Surgery in IGIMS, Patna. Patients were divided in two groups inclusive of ileostomy and colostomy based on type of closure technique. Conventional linear closure method was applied to Group A and purse-string technique applied to Group B patients. All Patients were followed regularly upto three months after operation. Rate of infection, pain as assessed by VAS score and satisfaction as assessed by POSAS Score were done. Results: Purse string Closure had better outcome in terms of wound infection rate and Cosmetic results over a 3 months follow up. Ten patients in Group A and 2 from Group B out of 40 patients had wound infection. Patients with purse-string suture had statistically significant greater satisfaction over 3 months. Medium operative time of Group A was 100 minutes and that of Group B was 98 minutes. There were no significant difference in regards duration of hospital stay was more in Linear Group than Purse String (Group B). Conclusion: Purse-string closure was associated with better cosmesis and lower infection rate in comparison to Linear conventional closure.

Low anterior laparoscopic resection of rectal cancer with specimen removal through a preventive ostomy incision / 中华普通外科杂志

Objective:To evaluate the safety and feasibility of cancer tissue specimen delivery through a preventive ostomy incision during laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer .Methods:A total of 155 patients undergoing laparoscopic radical rectal cancer combined with prophylactic ileostomy at Peking University Third Hospital from Oct 2016 to Sep 2021 were retrospectively divided into two groups according to where the specimens were delivered through prophylactic colostomy incision (46 cases) or through newly made suprapubic incision (109 cases).Results:The by prophylactic colostomy incision delivery group had shorter surgery time [(243±66) min vs. (281±73) min, t=3.003, P<0.01] and shorter postoperative hospital stay [(7.5±2.2) d vs. (8.8±4.3）d， t=2.516， P<0.05], while there were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative blood transfusion, postoperative first time of flatus, surgery-related complications and ostomy-related complications between the two groups (all P>0.05). Though the ostomy size in the prevention colostomy group was larger ( P<0.01), but there were no significant differences in the ostomy related complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer with specimen delivery through a preventive ostomy incision is of more aesthetic advantages without causing higher postoperative complications.

Retrospective analysis of short-term curative effect of total laparoscopic loop ileostomy reversal after radical resection of rectal cancer / 中华肿瘤杂志

Objective: To investigate the safety, feasibility and short-term efficacy of total laparoscopic loop ileostomy reversal in patients after resection of rectal cancer. Methods: The clinical data of 20 patients who underwent total laparoscopic loop ileoscopic loop ileostomy after radical resection of rectal cancer at Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, or Beijing Chaoyang District Sanhuan Cancer Hospital from October 2019 to June 2020 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Results: All patients had successfully underwent total laparoscopic ileostomy reversal without conversion to open surgery or discontinued operation. No perioperative related death cases were found. In the whole group, the median operation time was 97 (60-145) minutes and the median intraoperative blood loss was 20 (10-100) milliliters. The median Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score was 1.9 (1-5) one day after the operation. Nobody needed to use additional analgesic drugs. The median time to grand activities was 25 (16-42) hours, the median time to flatus was 44 (19-51) hours, and the median hospitalization after operation was 6.9 (5-9) days. No patients underwent operation related complications such as operative incision infection, abdominal and pelvic infection, intestinal obstruction, anastomotic leakage, bleeding and so on. Conclusions: Total laparoscopic loop ileostomy reversal appears to be safe, feasible and with promising efficacy for selected patients.
