AI Article Synopsis

  • The study examined risk factors for developing a permanent stoma after rectal cancer surgery and assessed its impact on long-term survival.
  • Among 895 patients treated, 35.2% initially received a temporary diverting stoma, but 23.2% ended up with a permanent stoma due to complications.
  • Key risk factors identified included advanced cancer stage, anastomosis-related complications, type of stoma, and occurrences of metastasis or local recurrence.

Article Abstract

Purpose: This study evaluated the risk factors influencing permanent stoma after curative resection of rectal cancer and compared the long-term survival of patients according to the stoma state.

Methods: From January 2004 to December 2010, 895 consecutive rectal cancer patients with histological-confirmed adenocarcinoma who received low anterior resection with curative intent at the Department of Colon and Rectal Surgery, Chonnam National University Hwasun Hospital, were evaluated retrospectively. Patient demographics, times of stoma reversal, and number/reason of permanent stoma were evaluated.

Results: Three hundred fifteen patients (35.2 %) had a diverting stoma of temporary intent among 895 rectal adenocarcinoma patients. Loop ileostomy was performed in 271 patients (86.0 %). A total of 256 (81.3 %) of 315 stoma patients received stoma closure. The mean period between primary surgery and stoma closure was 5.6 months (range, 1-44 months). Seventy-three patients (23.2 %) were confirmed with permanent stoma. Multivariate analysis showed stage IV (hazard ratio (HR), 3.380; 95 % confidence interval (CI), 1.192-18.023; p = 0.027), anastomosis-related complication (HR, 3.299; 95 % CI, 1.397-7.787; p = 0.006), colostomy type (HR, 7.276, 95 % CI, 2.454-21.574; p = 0.000), systemic metastasis (HR, 2.698; 95 % CI, 1.1.288-5.653; p = 0.009), and local recurrence (HR, 4.231; 95 % CI, 1.724-10.383; p = 0.002) were independent risk factors for permanent stoma.

Conclusions: On postoperative follow-up, in patients with anastomotic complication, tumor progression with local recurrences and systemic metastasis may cause permanent stoma.

Introduction: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) can severely affect the urinary tract, leading to strictures and urine outflow obstruction, which pose significant risks to kidney function. Procedures involving the urinary mucosa often exacerbate these issues, making safe bladder emptying a major challenge. This study reviews surgical methods for managing urological complications in EB patients, with a focus on the Macedo procedure, which offers a promising alternative that avoids further bladder mucosa irritation and prevents disease exacerbation.

Department of General Surgery, Jinling Hospital, Nanjing Medical University, No. 305 East Zhongshan Rd, Nanjing, 210002, People's Republic of China.

Background: Trends of stoma creation at index surgery for Crohn's disease (CD) in the biologics era has not been thoroughly investigated. This study aimed to assess the impact of increasing biologics use on stoma rates at index surgery of CD, as well as identifying risk factors for the creation and nonreversal of CD-related stoma.

Methods: In this single-center retrospective analysis, consecutive CD patients who underwent index bowel surgery from 2007 to 2021 were reviewed.

Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, Department of Pediatrics, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, Nebraska, USA.

Objective: Intestinal transplantation (ITx) has become an accepted option for children with serious complications from intestinal failure and parenteral nutrition (PN) dependence. We aimed to assess long-term growth and nutritional outcomes in these patients. We also assessed factors influencing nutritional status and ability to wean off tube feedings (TFs) after ITx.

Background: Surgeries performed on the gastrointestinal system represent a significant caseload among small animal surgeries. Colostomy aims to temporarily or permanently divert the gastrointestinal tract but it is not commonly performed in veterinary medicine. Information regarding such procedures is scarce and the surgical technique is poorly described.

Purpose: To examine the adaptive self-management strategies of enterostomy patients across different health trajectory phases and explore how patients utilize a combination of digital tools and traditional practices to manage their condition effectively within the Chronic Illness Trajectory Framework (CITF).

Methods: Participants were recruited from Qingdao Municipal Hospital's Stoma Clinic between October 2022 and August 2024. A total of 26 adults who had undergone permanent enterostomy surgery at least six months prior were selected through purposeful sampling to capture diverse experiences across different health trajectory phases.
