Background: Protective ileostomy can effectively prevent severe anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer surgery; however, the optimal timing for ileostomy closure during adjuvant chemotherapy remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the safety and long-term outcomes of early ileostomy closure during adjuvant chemotherapy.
Method: Patients who underwent laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery combined with protective ileostomy and adjuvant chemotherapy between April 2017 and April 2021 were retrospectively evaluated. Patients were divided into an early closure group during chemotherapy (group A) and a late closure group after chemotherapy (group B).
Results: A total of 215 patients were included in this study, with 115 in group A and 100 in group B. There were no significant differences in demographic and clinical characteristics between the two groups. In group A, durations of stoma status ( < 0.001) and low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) ( < 0.001) were shorter, and rectal stenosis (=0.036) and stoma-related complications (=0.007), especially stoma stenosis (=0.041), were less common. However, compliance with chemotherapy was worse (=0.009). There were no significant differences in operative time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications, incidence and severity of LARS, disease-free survival, or overall survival between groups.
Conclusion: Early ileostomy closure can effectively reduce the duration of stoma status, duration of LARS, rectal stenosis, and stoma-related complications while not affecting surgical complications and oncological outcomes. Ileostomy closure should not be delayed because of adjuvant chemotherapy. However, follow-up should be strengthened to increase compliance and integrity with chemotherapy.

Background: The traditional method of prophylactic loop ileostomy is time-consuming and prone to complications like stoma stenosis, peristomal adhesions, or dermatitis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical application value and potential benefits of a novel approach named linea alba support method (LASM) of prophylactic loop ileostomy via lower abdominal midline incision.
Methods: The clinical data of rectal cancer patients admitted to the General Surgery Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University between January 2021 and December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.

Purpose: Pouchitis is a major complication after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis in children (UCc). In this study, we investigated whether the oral administration of Clostridium butyricum MIYAIRI 588 (CBM) can reduce the incidence of pouchitis after IPAA in UCc.
Methods: We reviewed the data for pediatric patients with UC, who underwent IPAA in Mie University Hospital between 2004 and 2022.

Background: A postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) is a prevalent complication after loop ileostomy closure. There are few studies on the risk factors and the development of predictive models for postoperative SSIs. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a nomogram model capable of accurately predicting the occurrence of postoperative SSIs.

Background: Diverting ileostomy is a common procedure in rectal cancer surgery, but it is sometimes associated with a nonnegligible rate of complications. The primary aim of this study was to analyze the incidence and types of stoma-related complications for ileostomy creation after rectal cancer resection. The secondary aims were to report the indications, the technical details, and the efficacy of stoma care provided by ostomy nurses.
