Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to compare laparoscopic versus open in ileostomy reversal techniques from multiple perspectives and to gain insight into the potential advantages and limitations of laparoscopic techniques and provide guidance on finding the best anastomosis for ileostomy reversal. METHODS This systematic review and meta-analysis has been pre-registered with PROSPERO. The registration number is CRD42025640754. A rigorous literature search was conducted across multiple databases, including Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of overall postoperative complications, and the secondary outcomes included operative time, estimated blood loss, and the length hospital stay. RESULTS This research included 11 studies with a total of 867 cases, showing that the laparoscopic surgery group had a significantly lower overall complication rate compared to the open surgery group (OR = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.27-0.59, P < 0.00001). Further investigation of specific postoperative complications revealed that laparoscopic surgery significantly reduced the risk of bowel obstruction (OR = 0.39, 95% CI: 0.18-0.83, P = 0.01) and wound infection (OR = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.23-0.73, P = 0.003), with no significant difference observed for anastomotic leaks (OR = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.11-1.43, P = 0.16). Although laparoscopic surgery required a longer operative time (P = 0.002), it resulted in significantly shorter hospital stays (P < 0.00001) and did not increase estimated blood loss (P = 0.50). In addition, both extracorporeal laparoscopic surgery and intracorporeal laparoscopic surgery can effectively reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications and shorten the length of hospital stay compared with open surgery. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic-assisted ileostomy closure (both intracorporeal and extracorporeal techniques) demonstrates significant clinical benefits, including reduced postoperative complication rates, shortened hospitalization duration, and optimized recovery trajectories.

World J Gastrointest Surg 2025; 17:98269. [PMID: 39872758 PMCID: PMC11757179 DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v17.i1.98269] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2024] [Revised: 10/24/2024] [Accepted: 11/12/2024] [Indexed: 12/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is an increased maturation of laparoscopic intracorporeal anastomosis techniques. However, research on its application for small bowel stoma reversal in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) is limited. Therefore, in this study, we compared the perioperative outcomes between laparoscopic intracorporeal ileostomy reversal (LIIR) and open ileostomy reversal (OIR). AIM To compare the safety, feasibility, bowel function recovery, and short- and long-term LIIR and OIR outcomes in patients with CD. METHODS This study included patients who underwent ileal reversal for CD between January 2021 and January 2023 at our institution. The baseline data, postoperative recovery, and complication indicators were retrospectively analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore factors that significantly influenced the development of enteral nutrition intolerance-related symptoms. RESULTS Notably, 15 of the 45 patients in this study underwent OIR, and the remaining 30 received LIIR. Notably, no statistically significant differences were found between the two groups regarding clinical baseline characteristics, operation time, intraoperative hemorrhage, anastomotic site, enterolysis range, first postoperative flatus, postoperative complications, reoperation rate, or incidence of postoperative enteral nutrition intolerance. Compared with the OIR group, the LIIR group had a shorter postoperative hospital stay (P = 0.045), lower incidence of enteral nutrition intolerance symptoms (P = 0.019), and earlier postoperative total enteral nutrition initiation (P = 0.033); however, it incurred higher total hospital costs (P = 0.038). Furthermore, multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the duration of surgery and anastomotic technique were independent risk factors for postoperative symptoms of enteral nutrition intolerance (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Laparoscopic intracorporeal anastomosis for ileostomy reversal is safe and feasible. Patients who underwent this technique demonstrated improved tolerance to postoperative enteral nutrition and quicker resumption of total enteral nutrition.

Abstract
Background Recently, totally laparoscopic (TLAP) surgery has suggested its potential on ileostomy reversal. This study aimed to compare the short-term outcomes between TLAP and traditional open ileostomy reversal. Patients and methods From September 2016 to September 2021, 107 eligible patients underwent TLAP (n = 48) or open (n = 59) loop ileostomy reversal were retrospectively enrolled. Surgical parameters, postoperative recovery and complications were identified and compared between TLAP technique vs. open surgery. Results The operation time and estimated blood loss showed no obvious difference between TLAP and open group. However, TLAP reversal significantly decreased the incision length (4.5cm vs. 6cm, P < 0.001). Furthermore, patients underwent TLAP surgery showed quicker first ground activities (1 day vs. 2 days, P < 0.001), faster first flatus passage (2 days vs. 3 days, P = 0.004) and shorter postoperative stay (5 days vs. 7 days, P = 0.007). More importantly, postoperative complications were significantly reduced after TLAP reversal (3 cases vs. 10 cases, P = 0.026). Further logistic regression analyses also indicated the TLAP technique was associated with lower incidence of complications (OR=3.316, CI, 1.118-9.835; P = 0.031). Conclusions TLAP surgery is competitive in promoting postoperative recovery as well as reducing complications compared to the traditional open ileostomy reversal.

Postoperative Morbidity Following Loop Ileostomy Reversal after Primary Elective or Urgent Surgery: A Retrospective Study with 145 Patients. J Clin Med 2023; 12:452. [PMID: 36675381 PMCID: PMC9866519 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12020452] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Revised: 12/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Temporary loop ileostomy is usually performed to protect distal anastomosis or to treat urgent surgical cases. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether, after primary urgent stoma construction, patients undergoing ileostomy reversal have different postoperative outcomes compared with patients who have protective stoma performed in an elective setting. A retrospective observational study was conducted including patients who underwent ileostomy reversal. Baseline patient characteristics and perioperative outcomes were collected in a single database. The overall morbidity rate during recovery was fixed as a primary outcome. Between 2011 and 2021, the complete data records of 145 patients were evaluated. After ileostomy reversal, the postoperative morbidity rate did not differ between groups (14.4% vs. 11.5%, p = 0.790). Even considering each complication, such as ileus, small bowel obstruction, bleeding and wound infection, no significant difference was detected. Similarly, the time to first flatus was 2.25 ± 1.24 vs. 2.1 ± 0.99 (p = 0.379) and the length of hospital stay was 5.43 ± 3.03 vs. 5.84 ± 5.15 (p = 0.568). The only significant factor associated with postoperative complications on logistic regression analysis was the presence of comorbidities (OR 4.49; 95% CI 1.19-29.4, p = 0.05). In the present cohort of patients, there was no difference in the postoperative complication rate after stoma closure following elective or urgent indication for surgery.

Bowel stimulation before loop ileostomy closure to reduce postoperative ileus: a multicenter, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial. Surg Endosc 2022; 37:3934-3943.

Abstract
Introduction The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of preoperative bowel stimulation on the development of postoperative ileus (POI) after loop ileostomy closure. Methods This was a multicenter, randomized controlled trial (NCT025596350) including adult (≥ 18 years old) patients who underwent elective loop ileostomy closure at 7 participating hospitals. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) using a centralized computer-generated sequence with block randomization to either preoperative bowel stimulation or no stimulation (control group). Bowel stimulation consisted of 10 outpatient sessions within the 3 weeks prior to ileostomy closure and was performed by trained Enterostomal Therapy nurses. The primary outcome was POI, defined as an intolerance to oral food in the absence of clinical or radiological signs of obstruction, on or after postoperative day 3, that either (a) required nasogastric tube insertion; or (b) was associated with two of the following: nausea/vomiting, abdominal distension, or the absence of flatus. Results Between January 2017 and November 2020, 101 patients were randomized, and 5 patients never underwent ileostomy closure; thus, 96 patients (47 stimulated vs. 49 control) were analyzed according to a modified intention-to-treat protocol. Baseline characteristics were well balanced in both groups. The incidence of POI was lower among patients randomized to stimulation (6.4% vs. 24.5%, p = 0.034; unadjusted RR: 0.26, 95% CI 0.078–0.87). Stimulated patients also had earlier median time to first flatus (2.0 days (1.0–2.0) vs. 2.0 days (2.0–3.0), p = 0.025), were more likely to pass flatus on postoperative day 1 (46.8% vs. 22.4%, p = 0.022), and had a shorter median postoperative hospital stay (3.0 days (2.0–3.5) vs. 4.0 days (2.0–6.0), p = 0.003). Conclusions Preoperative bowel stimulation via the efferent limb of the ileostomy reduced POI after elective loop ileostomy closure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic surgery has shown clear benefits that could also be useful in the emergency setting such as early reoperations after colorectal surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic reintervention ("relaparoscopy") (RL) to manage postoperative complications after laparoscopic colorectal surgery. METHODS We performed a retrospective study based on a prospectively collected database from 2000 to 2019. Patients who required a reoperation after undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery were included. According to the approach used at the reoperation, the cohort was divided in laparoscopy (RL) and laparotomy (LPM). Demographics, hospital stay, morbidity, and mortality were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 159 patients underwent a reoperation after a laparoscopic colorectal surgery: 124 (78%) had RL and 35 (22%) LPM. Demographics were similar in both groups. Patients who underwent left colectomy were more frequently reoperated by laparoscopy (RL: 42.7% vs. LPM: 22.8%, p: 0.03). The most common finding at the reoperation was anastomotic leakage, which was treated more often by RL (RL: 67.7% vs. LPM: 25.7%, p: 0.0001), and the most common strategy was drainage and loop ileostomy (RL: 65.8% vs. LPM: 17.6%, p: 0.00001). Conversion was necessary in 12 patients (9.6%). Overall morbidity rate was 52.2%. Patients in the RL group had less postoperative severe complications (RL: 12.1% vs. LPM: 22.8, p: 0.01). Mortality rate was similar in both groups. CONCLUSION Relaparoscopy is feasible and safe for treating early postoperative complications, particularly anastomotic leakage after left colectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although minimally invasive surgery is becoming more commonly applied for ileostomy reversal (IR), there have been relatively few studies of IR for patients with Crohn's disease (CD). It is therefore important to evaluate the potential benefits and risks of laparoscopy for patients with CD.
AIM To compare the safety, feasibility, and short-term and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic IR (LIR) vs open IR (OIR) for the treatment of CD.
METHODS The baseline characteristics, operative data, and short-term (30-d) and long-term outcomes of patients with CD who underwent LIR and OIR at our institution between January 2017 and January 2020 were retrieved from an electronic database and retrospectively reviewed.
RESULTS Of the 60 patients enrolled in this study, LIR was performed for 48 and OIR for 12. There were no statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, days to flatus and soft diet, postoperative complications, hospitalization time, readmission rate within 30 d, length of hospitalization, hospitalization costs, or reoperation rate after IR between the two groups. However, patients in the LIR group more frequently required lysis of adhesions as compared to those in the OIR group (87.5% vs 41.7%, respectively, P < 0.05). Notably, following exclusion of patients who underwent enterectomy plus IR, OIR was more advantageous in terms of postoperative recovery of gastrointestinal function and hospitalization costs.
CONCLUSION The safety and feasibility of LIR for the treatment of CD are comparable to those of OIR with no increase in intraoperative or postoperative complications.

[PMID: 33870605 DOI: 10.1111/ans.16871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2021] [Revised: 03/28/2021] [Accepted: 04/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although diverting loop ileostomy (DLI) reversal is considered to be a relatively simple procedure, it is not immune from major morbidity. We aimed to compare outcomes of DLI reversal between elderly and non-elderly patients. METHODS Retrospective review of all patients who underwent DLI reversal at a single tertiary medical centre between 2010 and 2020. The elderly group consisted of patients 70 or older compared to a control group of those younger than 70 years. RESULTS During the study period, 307 patients underwent DLI reversal. Of these, 76 patients were in the elderly group (mean age 75.6) and 231 in the control group (mean age 55.3). The groups were comparable in terms of mean time interval between the creation of the ileostomy and reversal (242 versus 255 days, respectively, P = 0.5), choice between stapled and hand-sewn anastomoses (97.4% stapled anastomosis versus 93.1%, P = 0.086), median post-operative length of stay (5 days in both, P = 0.086), rates of post-operative complications (26.3% versus 26.8%, P = 0.99), severe complications (5.3% versus 6.9%, P = 0.81) and 30-day readmission rates (13.2% versus 10.8%, P = 0.58). Multivariate analysis found the time interval between the creation of the stoma and its reversal to be the only significant risk factor for major post-operative morbidity. Age was not found to be correlated with post-operative morbidity. CONCLUSION The outcomes of loop ileostomy reversal in elderly patients are similar to non-elderly patients. Efforts should be made to decrease the time interval between the creation of the stoma and its reversal as this is a significant risk factor for major post-operative morbidity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The implementation of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols has decreased the length of stay (LOS) and complications in colorectal procedures. However, little data has been published on the subset of patients undergoing loop ileostomy closure. We investigated the outcomes of loop ileostomy reversals prior to and after initiation of an ERAS protocol. METHODS Patients undergoing ileostomy reversal over a 5-year period by 4 colorectal surgeons were studied and divided into pre-ERAS patients and ERAS patients in a retrospective, case-control study. Patient demographics, comorbidities, LOS, underlying disease process, index intra-abdominal procedure, readmission rate, and complications were evaluated. RESULTS Overall, 208 patients were analyzed 149 pre-ERAS and 59 ERAS-with median LOS significantly lower in the ERAS group than the pre-ERAS group (50.8 hours vs. 96.1 hours, P < .0001). In subgroup analysis, the LOS was significantly lower if the index procedure performed was laparoscopic when comparing ERAS to pre-ERAS (49.9 hours vs. 96.6 hours, P < .001). ERAS did not confer a significant decrease in the LOS during ileostomy reversal with open index procedures (72.9 hours vs. 95.5 hours, P = .05). CONCLUSION Utilizing an ERAS protocol is safe and effective for loop ileostomy closure with a shorter LOS and no difference in complication rates or 30-day readmission rates.
