ABSTRACT
To assess the outcome of closure of temporary loop ileostomies by comparing frequency of post operative complication. This was an experimental study conducted at the surgical A unit of Lady Reading Hospital between Jan 2005 and Dec 2009. All patients who were primarily operated and ended up with temporary loop ileostomy were admitted via the out-patient department. Consecutively allocated into group A whose stomae were closed at 8 weeks and group B whose stomae closed at 4 weeks. Postoperative complications including wound infection, anastamotic leak, dehiscence etc. were recorded and statistical analysis done using version 13.0 SPSS for windows. Group A included 155 patients and Group B 156 patient with male predominance in both groups [p=0.869]. The mean age in both groups was similar 33.6 years and 32.7 years respectively. Anastamotic leak rate and wound dehiscence was lower in early closure group but p value was insignificant. The frequency of wound infection was higher in the early stoma closure group [p=0.001]. The mean hospital stay was similar. Apart from wound infection the frequency of complication following early closure [4 weeks] of temporary loop stoma is similar to delayed closure. Thus delayed closure of stomae should be abandoned
