Purpose: Our aim was to evaluate factors leading to ostomy reversal among a group of 44 patients with Crohn's disease (CD) who underwent subtotal colectomy (STC) between June 2011 and September 2018.
Methods: Our study design was a retrospective chart review. Patients with CD who underwent STC were included. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate several risk factors for non-reversal including medications received prior to surgery and indication for STC.
Results: Of 44 STCs performed, 31 (70.5%) were completed laparoscopically and 13 required an open approach (29.5%). Nine patients (20.4%) underwent ostomy reversal, and the mean time to reversal was 8.4 months. Preoperative therapy with an immunomodulator or biologic was associated with ostomy reversal (OR and CI: 0.43, 0.09-0.93; 0.47, 0.10-0.96), as was a diagnosis of intraabdominal abscess (0.43, 0.09-0.93).
Conclusion: Ileostomy reversal after STC in Crohn's disease is uncommon. Certain treatment regimens and diagnostic factors may impact the likelihood of ostomy reversal. Based on the available data, patients with CD whose disease is severe enough to require STC should be counseled that their ostomy will most likely be permanent. However, due to the low incidence of this procedure for CD, more data is needed.

Anal Sphincter Reconstruction Using the Posterior Sagittal Approach for Pediatric Perineal Trauma.
European J Pediatr Surg Rep

Traumatic perineal injuries are rare but can result in significant morbidity, particularly when the anal sphincter is injured. The management of such injuries in the pediatric population is rarely noted in the literature. We aimed to describe reconstruction in such patients using lessons learned in reoperative anorectal malformation surgery.

Background: Ileostomy and colostomy patients benefit from more nutrition education than patients who receive bowel resections without ostomy creation. Nutrition can influence the adaptation to a stoma and may help manage complications. The impact of nutrition education on health outcomes is known, but a gap exists for the type and timing of nutrition information for patients with newly formed ostomies.

Background: Hirschsprung associated enterocolitis (HAEC) is a challenging problem in a subset of children with Hirschsprung disease (HD). In refractory cases, fecal diversion may be required. The aim of this study was to characterize patients who require fecal diversion for HAEC management and examine their long-term outcomes.

Background: Hartmann's procedure (sigmoid resection with end colostomy) is a commonly performed emergency procedure for diseases of the sigmoid colon.
Aim: To determine the proportion of patients undergoing Hartmann's reversal (restoration of GI continuity) following Hartmann's procedure, the clinical and demographic factors associated with reversal, and the reasons for non-reversal.
Method: This is a single center, retrospective audit of patients undergoing Hartmann's procedure between June 2011 and May 2020.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a study comparing two surgical approaches, conventional multi-port laparoscopy (CL) and single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS), for patients undergoing Hartmann's reversal (HR), primarily after colostomy.
- A thorough online search led to the inclusion of two observational studies with 160 patients, revealing that SILS had a significantly shorter operative duration, while other outcomes like mortality and complications showed no significant differences.
- The conclusion indicates that, despite some limitations in the research, SILS is a quicker method with comparable safety and effectiveness to CL techniques.
