Core Tip

Core Tip: The current study was conducted to analyze the complications after transverse colostomy closure. A total of 102 patients who underwent transverse colostomy closure were enrolled in the current study. The complication group had longer hospital stay. However, no potential risk factor was identified for overall complications and incision infection. The most frequent complication occurring after transverse colostomy closure surgery in our center was incision infection. Operation time, interval from transverse colostomy to reversal and methods of anastomosis might have no impact on the postoperative complications. Surgeons should pay more attention to aseptic techniques.
