Published: August 2024

Background: Linear closure (LC) following stoma reversal is associated with a high risk of surgical site infection (SSI). Purse-string closure and LC were both positive for the closure of the skin wound following stoma reversal, and it was not yet possible to distinguish which one was more beneficial to the patient's prognosis.

Methods: We conducted a search in Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library and conducted a randomized controlled experiment from the inception of each database to July 2024. Among them, the SSI within 30 days, operation time, hospitalization time, incisional hernia, and wound healing time were all outcome indicators.

Results: Eleven studies were included in this meta-analysis (506 patients in the purse-string closure group and 489 patients in the LC group). The pooled data showed that the SSI rate was significantly lower in the purse-string closure group than in the LC group (odds ratio, 0.15; 95% confidence interval, 0.09-0.24; P < .00001; I2 = 0%). The differences in operative time, hospitalization time, incision hernia, and wound healing time were not statistically significant.

Conclusion: Overall, purse-string closure had a significantly lower SSI rate following stoma reversal than LC.

Stoma reversal surgery is known for relatively high complication rates. While Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols are extensively validated for colorectal surgery, their use in stoma reversal remains underexplored. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates clinical outcomes of stoma reversal surgery under ERAS protocols compared to standard care (SC) practices.

Impact of biologics on stoma creation and reversal in Crohn's disease: a retrospective analysis from 2007 to 2021.

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.

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.
