Background: The incidence of complications after reversal of Hartmann's procedure is unknown. This study compares the morbidity of Hartmann's reversal versus loop ileostomy reversal.
Methods: Two groups of 20 patients were studied retrospectively over a 5-year period. One group underwent Hartmann's takedown, and the other underwent loop ileostomy takedown. Postoperative complications were compared between the 2 groups.
Results: Similar demographics were noted between each group. The most common initial indications for Hartmann's procedure were diverticulosis (11 patients, 55%) and colon cancer (4 patients, 20%). For patients who had undergone colectomy with primary anastomosis and ileostomy, colon cancer was the most common indication (12 patients, 60%) followed by diverticulosis (3 patients, 15%). Complications were more common after Hartmann reversal than loop ileostomy reversal (16 complications/11 patients versus 6 complications/4 patients, P = .047).
Conclusion: Segmental colonic excision with anastomosis and loop ileostomy may be an attractive alternative to minimize morbidity with stoma reversal.

Aim: An end colostomy is a potentially life-saving surgical intervention, but postoperative ostomy management is challenging in resource-limited settings. Socioeconomic, health system, and surgical capacity barriers may delay colostomy reversal. A surgery camp model for addressing the burden of unreversed colostomies has not previously been undertaken in Malawi.

Introduction: Little is known about the association between age and fecal ostomy surgery trends over time. We aim to 1) determine the rate of fecal ostomy operations over time and 2) compare rates of colostomy formation between patients older and younger than 65 y.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective multi-institutional cohort study of patients ≥18 y who underwent colorectal resection between 2003 and 2014 using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database.

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).

To explore the safety of application of ambulatory surgery management mode in total laparoscopic ileostomy reversal surgery. A retrospective analysis of clinical data was conducted on patients who had undergone total laparoscopic ileostomy reversal surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University from May 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024. A total of 34 patients were included in the study, comprising 22 males and 12 females, with the age of (60.

Low anterior resection syndrome is a common but underestimated complication after rectal cancer surgery that significantly impacts the quality of life of the surviving patient. It is characterized by symptoms such as fecal incontinence and voiding dysfunction and affects up to 90% of patients undergoing low anterior rectal resection. The etiology of the syndrome is multifactorial with no clear determining factor.
