Abstract
Background: The value of a bridge in loop ileostomies is debated. We aimed to evaluate whether using a bridge when creating a loop ileostomy can reduce morbidity following an ileostomy.
Methods: Patients who had a loop ileostomy after elective colorectal surgery from January 2016 to July 2022 were randomized in this multicenter phase 2 randomized superiority trial. The primary endpoint was the absence of postoperative stomal complications at 2 months and was assessed in a blinded fashion by a stoma therapist. Secondary endpoints were morbidity at 1 month and the STOMA-QOL score at 2 months.
Results: During the study period, 67 patients were randomized to the bridge group and 63 to the no-bridge group. Epidemiological and perioperative data did not differ between the two groups. The stomal complication-free rate was 76% in the bridge group and 67% in the no-bridge group (p = 0.3). There was no difference in the distribution of complications at 1 month according to the Clavien-Dindo score (p = 0.2) or the STOMA-QOL score at 2 months (p = 0.4) between the two groups.
Conclusion: The bridge does not reduce the rate of stomatal complications, nor does it appear to reduce patients' quality of life.
期刊介绍:
Techniques in Coloproctology is an international journal fully devoted to diagnostic and operative procedures carried out in the management of colorectal diseases. Imaging, clinical physiology, laparoscopy, open abdominal surgery and proctoperineology are the main topics covered by the journal. Reviews, original articles, technical notes and short communications with many detailed illustrations render this publication indispensable for coloproctologists and related specialists. Both surgeons and gastroenterologists are represented on the distinguished Editorial Board, together with pathologists, radiologists and basic scientists from all over the world. The journal is strongly recommended to those who wish to be updated on recent developments in the field, and improve the standards of their work.
