Colostomy Reversal following Hartmann’s Procedure: The Importance of Timing in Short- and Long-Term Complications: A Retrospective Multicentric Study. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11154388. [PMID: 35956003 PMCID: PMC9369122 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11154388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2022] [Revised: 07/23/2022] [Accepted: 07/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
The restoration of bowel continuity following Hartmann’s Procedure (HP) has been reported hitherto with high morbidity and mortality rates. No clear guidelines exist about timing in Hartmann’s Reversal (HR), the literature data being conflicting. We have sought to investigate the effect of the interval time between HP and HR in short- and long-term HR outcomes through a retrospective study based on consecutive patients undergoing HR between 2009 and 2017 in two regional hospitals in Italy. Demographic characteristics, comorbidities, intra- and post-operative data, as well as early complications, were recorded. Long-term data were collected on the surgical site occurrences of Incisional Ventral Hernia (IVH). One hundred and five patients were recruited for the study. Late HR, female gender, and long operating time were related to the highest incidence of peri-operative complications. Patients who developed IVH had undergone HR at significantly shorter times and had a higher Body Mass Index (BMI). The timing of HR seems to be an important variable linked to the onset of early and late post-operative complications. The patients submitted to early HR show a significantly lower complication rate but, at the same time, a higher rate of IVH incidence after restorative surgery. These data, in our opinion, reflect the need for planning, where possible, an early restoration of bowel continuity after HP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The placement of a self-expanding metal stent in patients with obstructive colon cancer is used as a bridge to surgery. However, due to a lack of consensus and insufficient data, the long-term oncologic outcomes after colonic SEMS placement remain unclear. We assessed the long-term oncologic outcomes and adverse effects of colonic stenting for malignant colonic obstruction. METHODS We included 198 patients admitted to Korea University Anam Hospital between 2006 and 2014 for obstructive colon cancer, of whom 98 underwent SEMS placement as a bridge to surgery and 100 underwent direct surgery without stenting. The clinicopathologic characteristics, overall survival, and disease-free survival were compared. RESULTS There were no significant differences in long-term oncologic outcomes between the two groups. The median follow-up durations were 61.55 and 58.64 months in the SEMS and DS groups, respectively. There were also no significant differences in the 5-year OS (77.4% vs. 74.2%, p = 0.691) and 5-year DFS (61.7% vs. 71.0%, p = 0.194) rates between the groups. However, the DS group had significantly more early postoperative complications (p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Colonic SEMS deployment as a bridge to surgery did not negatively affect long-term oncologic outcomes when compared with DS. In addition, colonic stenting decreased early postoperative complications and reduced the time for patients to return to normal daily activities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND a colonic stent as a bridge to elective surgery for left-sided malignant colonic obstruction is an alternative to the classical treatment. The aim of our study was to evaluate the recurrence rate as well as the morbidity and mortality of this treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS patients admitted to the Emergency Department with left-sided malignant colonic obstruction between June 2006 and January 2014 were analyzed in a retrospective observational study. Patients who underwent self-expanding metallic stent placement via endoscopy as a bridge to surgery were included. The observation period was performed until May 2017. RESULTS fifty-three patients were treated with a colonic stent as a bridge to surgery; nine patients died during the postoperative period. The deceased patients were more frequently male (100% in the deceased vs 62% in the non-deceased, p = 0.02), with a more advanced age (81.4 ± 5.1 vs 71.6 ± 10.8, p < 0.001), lower hemoglobin levels on admission (12.9 vs 13.6 p < 0.001), a greater number of leukocytes (12,918 vs 9,437, p < 0.001) and greater coagulopathy (INR 1.6 vs 1, p < 0.001). Eight patients had a distant relapse with a median disease-free survival of 19.1 months. The variables were compared according to the appearance of distant disease and the mean age was lower in patients with a recurrence (65.9 ± 11.3 vs 74.9 ± 9.9, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS the results of the use of a stent as a bridge to curative surgery in patients with obstructive left colon cancer in our hospital is comparable to previous studies.

Abstract
Patients presenting with near-obstructing colon lesions requiring segmental colectomy may benefit from intraoperative colonoscopy (IOC) after primary anastomosis for a more timely and accurate diagnosis of synchronous lesions. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of this technique. A retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing single-stage segmental colectomy and anastomosis at a single tertiary care institution from 2011 to 2013 was performed. One Hundred and sixty-eight consecutive patients underwent segmental colectomy and primary anastomosis of which 78 (46%) were unable to receive preoperative colonoscopy (POC) because of near-obstructing lesions and received IOC after the anastomosis. IOC detected synchronous adenomatous polyps in 24.4 per cent, diverticular disease in 19 per cent, and colitis/proctitis in 2.5 per cent. The IOC group was not significantly different from the POC group with regard to overall morbidity (31% vs 39% P = 0.45), anastomotic leakage (1.3% vs 0%, P = 0.46), or wound infection (5.1% vs 1.1%, P = 0.18). Operation time was 19 minutes longer in the intra-operative group, but overall length of hospital stay was not significantly different (6.4 ± 2.9 days vs 7.3 ± 4.6 days). In patients unable to receive POC because of partial obstruction, IOC after primary anastomosis is both feasible and safe for detecting proximal synchronous lesions.

Racial Disparities After Stoma Construction Exist in Time to Closure After 1 Year but Not in Overall Stoma Reversal Rates. J Gastrointest Surg 2018; 22:250-258.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Conflicting data exist on racial disparities in stoma reversal (SR) rates. Our aim was to investigate the role of race in SR rates, and time to closure, in a longitudinal, racially diverse database. METHODS All adult patients (>18 years) who received an ileostomy or colostomy from 1999 to 2016 at a single institution were identified. Primary outcomes were SR rates and time to closure. Failure to reverse and time to closure was modeled using Cox regression. Kaplan-Meier survival curves, stratified by race, were generated for time to closure and hazard ratios (HRs) calculated. RESULTS Of 770 patients with stomas, 65.6% of patients underwent SR; 76.6% were white and 23.4% were black. On adjusted analysis, race did not predict overall SR rates or time to closure if performed less than 1 year. Instead, significant predictors for failure in SR included age, insurance status, end colostomy/ileostomy, and loop colostomy (p < 0.05). Predictors of delay in time to closure included insurance, end colostomy/ileostomy, and loop colostomy (p < 0.05). In patients who underwent reversal after 1 year, black race was an independent predictor of time to closure (HR 0.21, 95% CI 0.07-0.63, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION SR rates were equal between black and white patients. Disparities in time to closure existed only for black patients if reversed more than 1 year after index stoma construction. While equitable outcomes were achieved for most patients, further investigation is necessary to understand stoma disparities after 1 year.

Abstract
Aims and background Covering stoma is the main method used to protect low-lying anastomosis after cancer proctectomy. Intraluminal rectal pressure could be a potential risk factor for anastomotic leakage. We present our personal experience with an alternative and original device, the transanal tube NO COIL®, evaluating its feasibility and safety based on a preliminary manometric study. Methods From May 1998 to March 1999, an experimental manometric study on 35 subjects was performed to assess the pathophysiological basis of intraluminal rectal pressure with or without the transanal tube. Subsequently, from April 1999 to December 2009, 184 patients (107 males, 77 females, average age 68.2 ± 10 years) with primary adenocarcinoma of the rectum (≤12 cm from anal verge) were selected. Eighty-two underwent total proctectomy and 102 subtotal proctectomy. No stoma were fashioned. At the end of the operation, the silicone transanal tube NO COIL®, 60–80 mm long, 2 mm thick with a calibre of up to 2 cm, was applied and secured to the perineal skin by two stitches, then removed on the seventhpostoperative day if no signs of leakage occurred. Results The intraluminal rectal pressure with transanal tube was strongly reduced from 13.8 + 8.5 mmHg to 4.8 + 3.7 mmHg (P <0.01). Nine patients (4.8%) developed an anastomotic leakage, 2 males and 7 females. In 10 patients, the transanal tube NO COIL® did not remain in situ for the planned seven days, and 18 patients suffered from ulcers in the perianal skin. Leakage subsided with conservative treatment in 4 patients, whereas 5 patients required loop colostomy. The stoma rate was 2.7%. No leakage-related deaths occurred, and overall mortality was 1.3%. Conclusions The transanal tube NO COIL® does not abolish the risk of anastomotic leakage but could be an alternative option to covering stoma after cancer proctectomy in selected patients. In our experience, this simple and cheap device could reduce the rate of stoma without leakage-related mortality. Further studies within a randomized controlled trial are required to better define our results.

Abstract
PURPOSE Acute primary resection as treatment for left-sided colonic obstruction (LSCO) is notorious for its high morbidity and mortality rates. Both stenting and loop colostomy construction can serve as a bridge to surgery, hereby avoiding the high morbidity and mortality rates associated with emergency resections. This study aims to investigate the safety of a loop colostomy in patients presenting with acute LSCO. METHODS Retrospective analysis of all patients that received a loop colostomy for LSCO between 2003 and 2015 was performed. Primary outcomes were mortality, major morbidity (Clavien-Dindo grades III-IV) and minor morbidity (Clavien-Dindo grades I-II). RESULTS One hundred forty-six patients presenting with acute LSCO received a diverting colostomy. After colostomy construction, mortality occurred in four patients (2.7%) and major complications were reported in 20 patients (13.7%). In 61 patients, the diverting colostomy served as a palliative measure, because of metastatic disease or unfitness for major surgery. The remaining 85 patients all underwent delayed resection, resulting in an overall mortality, major morbidity and minor morbidity of 6.9% (n = 6), 14.0% (n = 12) and 26.7% (n = 23), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Diverting colostomy construction is a minimally invasive and safe treatment option for LSCO. It can serve as a definite palliative measure, as well as a bridge to elective surgery. A diverting colostomy as a bridge to surgery might even be a valid alternative for emergency resections, since mortality and morbidity rates following colostomy construction and delayed resection appear lower than reported outcomes following primary resection.

Abstract
Background Anastomotic leakage (AL) remains the most important complication following colorectal surgery, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Previous research has focused on identifying risk factors and potential biomarkers for AL, but the sensitivity of these tests remains poor. Objective This prospective multicenter observational study aims at combining multiple parameters to establish a diagnostic algorithm for colorectal AL. Methods This study aims to include 588 patients undergoing surgery for colorectal carcinoma. Patients will be eligible for inclusion when surgery includes the construction of a colorectal anastomosis. Patient characteristics will be collected upon consented inclusion, and buccal swabs, breath, stool, and blood samples will be obtained prior to surgery. These samples will allow for the collection of information regarding patients’ inflammatory status, genetic predisposition, and intestinal microbiota. Additionally, breath and blood samples will be taken postoperatively and patients will be strictly observed during their in-hospital stay, and the period shortly thereafter. Results This study has been open for inclusion since August 2015. Conclusions An estimated 8-10% of patients will develop AL following surgery, and they will be compared to non-leakage patients. The objectives of this study are twofold. The primary aim is to establish and validate a diagnostic algorithm for the pre-operative prediction of the risk of AL development using a combination of inflammatory, immune-related, and genetic parameters. Previously established risk factors and novel parameters will be incorporated into this algorithm, which will aid in the recognition of patients who are at risk for AL. Based on these results, recommendations can be made regarding the construction of an anastomosis or deviating stoma, and possible preventive strategies. Furthermore, we aim to develop a new algorithm for the post-operative diagnosis of AL at an earlier stage, which will positively reflect on short-term survival rates.

Abstract
Acute malignant colorectal obstruction (AMCO) is an emergency associated with colorectal cancer (CRC). Emergency surgery is standard therapy for AMCO, and 1-stage surgery without colostomy is preferable, but it is occasionally difficult in the emergency setting. A self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) enables noninvasive colonic decompression and subsequent 1-stage surgery, which has been widely applied for CRC with AMCO. However, recent accumulation of high-quality evidence has highlighted some problems and the limited efficacy of SEMS for AMCO. In palliative settings, SEMS placement reduces hospital stay and short-term complication rates, whereas it increases the frequency of long-term complications, such as delayed perforation. SEMS placement does not seem compatible with recent standard chemotherapy including bevacizumab. As a bridge to surgery, while SEMS placement provides a lower clinical success rate than emergency surgery, it can facilitate primary anastomosis without stoma. However, evidence regarding long-term survival outcomes with SEMS in both palliative and bridge to surgery settings is lacking. The efficacy of transanal colorectal tube placement, another endoscopic treatment, has been reported, but its clinical evidence level is low due to the limited number of studies. This review article comprehensively summarizes the current knowledge about surgical and endoscopic management of CRC with AMCO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A diverting stoma is an accepted adjunct to low anterior resection (LAR) for rectal cancer. However, some patients do not undergo a subsequent procedure to have the stoma reversed. We aim to determine incidence and risk factors for nonclosure of the diverting stoma. METHODS This is a retrospective study of stage I to III rectal cancer patients at a single institution having LAR with curative intent and a diverting stoma. RESULTS We studied 162 patients. Prevalence of nonclosure of the temporary stoma was 14.5% within 13 months of the index surgery. On a multivariate linear regression model, nonclosure was associated with anastomotic leak (odds ratio 9.89, 2.31 to 43.93, P < .001) and age older than 65 (odds ratio 2.76, 1.08 to 7.48, P < .036). CONCLUSIONS Prevalence of nonclosure of a diverting stoma after LAR for rectal cancer is substantial (14.5%). Patients should be counselled regarding this risk with particular attention to potential risk factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Emergency surgery for large bowel obstruction carries significant morbidity and mortality. After initially promising results, concerns have been raised over complication rates for self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) in both the palliative and bridge-to-surgery settings. This article documents the technique used at the authors' institution, and reports on success and complication rates, as well as identifying predictors of endoscopic reintervention or surgical treatment. METHODS Data were collected for a prospective cohort of consecutive patients undergoing attempted colonoscopic SEMS insertion at a single institution between 1998 and 2013. Multivariable logistic models were fitted to assess possible predictors of endoscopic reintervention and surgical treatment. RESULTS Palliative SEMS insertion was attempted in 146 patients. Primary colorectal cancer was the most common cause of obstruction (95.2 per cent). The majority of patients (77.4 per cent) were treated in an acute setting, with a high technical success rate of 97.3 per cent. The perforation rate was 4.8 per cent and the 30-day procedural mortality rate 2.7 per cent. No predictors of early complications were identified, although patients with metastases and those who received chemotherapy were more likely to have late complications. Some 30.8 per cent of patients required at least one further intervention, with 11.0 per cent of the cohort requiring a stoma. Endoscopic reintervention was largely successful. CONCLUSION SEMS offer a valid alternative to operative intervention in the palliative management of malignant large bowel obstruction. Patients receiving chemotherapy are more likely to receive endoscopic reintervention, which is largely successful.

Abstract
Large bowel obstruction is a common problem with many different causes, the most common being colorectal adenocarcinoma, extracolonic adenocarcinoma, diverticular disease, volvulus, and inflammatory bowel disease. The nature of the obstruction can influence the best management. Historically, treatment of obstruction consisted of surgical removal of the obstruction if possible and decompression of the bowel with an ostomy. Other strategies for managing obstruction have evolved as alternatives to stomas, including primary resection with anastomosis and endoscopic stent placement. The choice of treatment can therefore be tailored to the individual patient with good success.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this review article was to outline current evidence relating to the treatment and prevention of parastomal herniation with a view to guide surgeons dealing with patients potentially affected by this complication. METHOD Medline and PubMed databases were searched using the keywords 'parastomal hernia/herniation', 'stoma hernia/herniation' and 'stoma complications'. Evidence was obtained from randomized and non-randomized studies. Case reports and articles not written in English were excluded. Qualitative assessment of all included studies was performed using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine 2011 levels of evidence. RESULTS The search revealed a total of 228 publications of which 115 fulfilled the selection criteria. Stoma formation through the rectus muscle is complicated by parastomal herniation in up to 50% of cases. There is no conclusive evidence that alternative techniques (e.g. extraperitoneal, lateral rectus abdominis positioned stoma) are superior. Open and laparoscopic parastomal hernia repair have similar recurrence rates up to 50%. The 'Sugarbaker' technique appears to be superior to the 'keyhole' technique when a laparoscopic approach is used. Prophylactic mesh reinforcement of the stoma trephine appears to reduce the herniation rate to approximately 15% and is accompanied by a decrease in symptomatic hernias requiring repair without any difference in stoma-related morbidity. CONCLUSION Large prospective controlled trials are required to compare surgical techniques of stoma formation in reducing the incidence of parastomal herniation. Despite limited evidence, routine prophylactic mesh reinforcement of the stoma trephine should be offered to all patients undergoing permanent stoma formation.

Abstract
Stomas are created for a wide range of indications such as temporary protection of a high-risk anastomosis, diversion of sepsis, or permanent relief of obstructed defecation or incontinence. Yet this seemingly benign procedure is associated with an overall complication rate of up to 70%. Therefore, surgeons caring for patients with gastrointestinal diseases must be proficient not only with stoma creation but also with managing postoperative stoma-related complications. This article reviews the common complications associated with ostomy creation and strategies for their management.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the effects of emergent preoperative self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) vs emergent surgery for acute left-sided malignant colonic obstruction.
METHODS: Two investigators independently searched the MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, as well as references of included studies to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared two or more surgical approaches for acute colonic obstruction. Summary risk ratios (RR) and 95% CI for colonic stenting and emergent surgery were calculated.
RESULTS: Eight studies met the selection criteria, involving 444 patients, of whom 219 underwent SEMS and 225 underwent emergent surgery. Seven studies reported difference of the one-stage stoma rates between the two groups (RR, 0.60; 95% CI: 0.48-0.76; P < 0.0001). Only three RCTs described the follow-up stoma rates, which showed no significant difference between the two groups (RR, 0.80; 95% CI: 0.59-1.08; P = 0.14). Difference was not significant in the mortality between the two groups (RR, 0.91; 95% CI: 0.50-1.66; P = 0.77), but there was significant difference (RR, 0.57; 95% CI: 0.44-0.74; P < 0.0001) in the overall morbidity. There were no significant differences between the two groups in the anastomotic leak rate (RR, 0.60; 95% CI: 0.28-1.28; P = 0.19), occurrence of abscesses, including peristomal abscess, intraperitoneal abscess and parietal abscess (RR, 0.83; 95% CI: 0.36-1.95; P = 0.68), and other abdominal complications (RR: 0.67; 95% CI: 0.40-1.12; P = 0.13).
CONCLUSION: SEMS is not obviously more advantageous than emergent surgery for patients with acute left-sided malignant colonic obstruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of incisional hernias at the site of stoma closure is surprisingly unclear. A review of the current literature was undertaken to determine how commonly this complication may occur and to assess the quality of evidence available. METHODS A systematic review was performed to identify studies reporting the incidence of incisional hernia after closure of an ileostomy or colostomy. Studies including children (<16 years old) and studies in which >10% of the total number were trauma patients were excluded. RESULTS Thirty-four studies provided outcomes for 2,729 closed stomas. Median follow-up time was 36 months but was only described in seven studies. Closure of loop ileostomies was the most commonly performed procedure (48%). The overall reported hernia rate was 7%, but with a wide range among studies (0-48%). Most studies based their hernia rates on retrospective clinical findings only. A separate analysis of three studies that were specifically designed to assess for stoma site hernias found the clinical hernia rate to be 30% (28/93) and the combined clinical/radiological hernia rate to be 35% (33/93). From 11 studies reporting reoperation rates, 51% of patients who developed a hernia required a surgical repair (34/66). There was a lower risk of hernia following reversal of ileostomy versus colostomy (odds ratio 0.28, 95% confidence interval 0.12-0.65). CONCLUSIONS One in three patients may develop a hernia after stoma closure, and around half of hernias that are detected require repair. Risk of hernia is greater after colostomy closure than after ileostomy closure. Clinical measures to reduce the development of these hernias warrant consideration.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Use of self-expanding metallic stents (SEMS) as a bridge to surgery has been suggested as an alternative management for acute malignant left-sided colonic obstruction, as emergency surgery has a high risk of morbidity and mortality. This meta-analysis evaluated high-quality evidence comparing preoperative SEMS with emergency surgery.
Methods
Relevant randomized clinical trials (RCTs) were identified from the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, Embase and PubMed (1990–2011). Primary outcomes were primary anastomosis, stoma and in-hospital mortality rates. Secondary outcomes included anastomotic leak, 30-day reoperation and surgical-site infection rates.
Results
Four RCTs with 234 patients were included. Technical and clinical success rates for stenting were 70·7 per cent (82 of 116) and 69·0 per cent (80 of 116) respectively. The clinical perforation rate was 6·9 per cent (8 of 116) and the silent perforation rate 14 per cent (11 of 77). SEMS intervention resulted in significantly higher successful primary anastomosis (risk ratio (RR) 1·58, 95 per cent confidence interval 1·22 to 2·04; P < 0·001) and lower overall stoma (RR 0·71, 0·56 to 0·89; P = 0·004) rates. There was no difference in primary anastomosis, permanent stoma, in-hospital mortality, anastomotic leak, 30-day reoperation and surgical-site infection rates. Three trials were stopped prematurely, one because the emergency surgery group had a significantly increased anastomotic leak rate, and two others because of stent-related complications and increased 30-day morbidity following SEMS management.
Conclusion
Technical and clinical success rates for stenting were lower than expected. SEMS is associated with a high incidence of clinical and silent perforation. However, as a bridge to surgery, SEMS has higher successful primary anastomosis and lower overall stoma rates, with no significant difference in complications or mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess the risk for permanent stoma after low anterior resection of the rectum for cancer. METHODS In a nationwide multicenter trial 234 patients undergoing low anterior resection of the rectum were randomly assigned to a group with defunctioning stomas (n = 116) or a group with no defunctioning stomas (n = 118). The median age was 68 years, 45% of the patients were women, 79% had preoperative radiotherapy, and 4% had International Union Against Cancer cancer stage IV. The patients were analyzed with regard to the presence of a permanent stoma, the type of stoma, the time point at which the stoma was constructed or considered as permanent, and the reasons for obtaining a permanent stoma. Median follow-up was 72 months (42-108). One patient with a defunctioning stoma who died within 30 days after the rectal resection was excluded from the analysis. RESULTS During the study period 19% (45/233) of the patients obtained a permanent stoma: 25 received an end sigmoid stoma and 20 received a loop ileostomy. The end sigmoid stomas were constructed at a median of 22 months (1-71) after the low anterior resection of the rectum, and the loop ileostomies were considered as permanent at a median of 12.5 months (1-47) after the initial rectal resection. The reasons for loop ileostomy were metastatic disease (n = 6), unsatisfactory anorectal function (n = 6), deteriorated general medical condition (n = 3), new noncolorectal cancer (n = 2), patient refusal of further surgery (n = 2), and chronic constipation (n = 1). Reasons for end sigmoid stoma were unsatisfactory anorectal function (n = 22) and urgent surgery owing to anastomotic leakage (n = 3). The risk for permanent stomas in patients with symptomatic anastomotic leakage was 56% (25/45) compared with 11% (20/188) in those without symptomatic anastomotic leakage (P < .001). CONCLUSION One patient of 5 ended up with a permanent stoma after low anterior resection of the rectum for cancer, and half of the patients with a permanent stoma had previous symptomatic anastomotic leakage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical management of left colonic cancer presenting as an acute obstruction remains controversial and still is associated with high mortality and morbidity rates. Recently, self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) have been used as a bridge to surgery in an attempt to decompress the colon and then allow elective one-stage surgical resection without stoma placement. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of emergency surgery alone with emergency placement of colonic SEMS as a bridge to surgery in terms of efficiency and reduction of the stoma placement rate. METHODS A multicenter prospective, randomized, controlled trial was conducted according to the consolidated standards of reporting trials (CONSORT) Statement criteria. Patients eligible for the study were randomized to either emergency surgery or emergency SEMS as a bridge to surgery. The primary outcome was the need for a stoma (temporary or permanent) for any reason. The secondary end points were mortality, morbidity, and length of hospital stay. RESULTS Nine centers participated in the trial. Among the 70 patients eligible for the study, 60 were randomized and included for the final analysis, 30 patients in each group. Seven patients were randomized but did not fulfill the entry requirements, whereas three further eligible patients were not randomized for various reasons. Concerning the primary outcome, 17 patients in the surgery group sustained a stoma placement versus 13 patients in the SEMS group (p=0.30). No statistically significant difference was noted concerning the secondary outcomes. A total of 16 attempts at SEMS placement (53.3%) were technical failures. Two colonic perforations directly related to the stent placement procedure occurred among the 30 randomized patients and 1 perforation occurred among the nonrandomized patients, leading to premature closure of inclusions in the study before the expected number of 80 patients was reached. CONCLUSION This randomized trial failed to demonstrate that emergency preoperative SEMS for patients presenting with acute left-sided malignant colonic obstruction could significantly decrease the need for stoma placement.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was undertaken to determine the safety and short-term outcomes using bioprosthetics for the management of parastomal hernias. METHODS A retrospective review of prospectively collected data for all of the patients who underwent repair of a parastomal hernia was conducted. RESULTS Between April 2004 and September 2007, 20 consecutive patients had 22 parastomal hernias repaired through a midline incision using a bioprosthetic with the stoma entering the abdomen lateral to the graft. A colostomy was present in 17 patients; an ileostomy was present in 3 patients. All of the patients had parastomal hernia-related complications. Postoperatively there were no infections of the midline wound or the prosthetic, and none of the grafts were removed. There were 4 seromas (40%) that required aspiration in the 10 procedures performed before the routine placement of a drain. No incisional hernias have developed in the midline wound. There have been 2 (9%) recurrent parastomal hernias on physical examination at a median follow-up of 18 months (range, 12-54). CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that bioprosthetics are safe and are effective in the short term for the repair of parastomal hernias.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anastomotic leakage is a serious complication in rectal cancer surgery. More than one third of rectal cancer patients with low anterior resection (LAR) will receive defunctional stomas during primary operation. METHODS Six hundred thirty-nine consecutive rectal cancer patients, whose tumors were located 5 to 12 cm from the anal verge, were treated with LAR. A standardized pelvic drainage for all these patients and selective irrigation for patients with leakage were conducted, and defunctional stoma was used as a salvage modality. All the anastomoses were all extraperitonealized during primary operations. RESULTS The anastomotic leakage rate was 7.04%. Male gender and location of tumor were found to be risk factors for leakage in patients with LAR. The overall stoma rate was 1.88%. Nearly 75% of leakage could be cured by irrigation-suction without surgical intervention. Severe complications, such as peritonitis, fistula, and obstruction, were strong predictors of irrigation failure. CONCLUSIONS Extraperitonealized anastomosis and pelvic drainage obtained a very low rate of defunctional stoma for LAR. Pelvic irrigation-suction was an effective modality to resolve anastomotic leakage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To answer the question whether a defunctioning stoma (DS) should be constructed routinely after total mesorectal excision or whether it could be used selectively to ensure patient safety. METHOD A PubMed search was performed. All randomized trials on the role of a DS were included. Also, observational articles published between January 1997 and August 2007 were reviewed. Sensitivity analysis of the mortality risk was performed. RESULTS The clinical anastamotic leak (CAL) rate was 17% in 358 patients from four randomized trials and 9.6% in 4059 patients from 39 observational studies. The CAL rate increased significantly from 9.6% with DS to 24.4% without DS in four randomized trials, and from 7.9% with DS to 13.2% without DS in 17 observational studies. The re-operation rate as a result of anastomotic leakage was lower in patients with DS than in patients without DS in both study types. Leak-related mortality was not significantly different: 7.2% with vs 7.7% without DS in observational studies, and 0% with vs 4.6% without DS in randomized trials. Sensitivity analysis indicated that a selective DS strategy is acceptable if the CAL rate without DS is less than 16.6% with a CAL-related mortality of no more than 4.6%. CONCLUSION The results of this review support the routine construction of a protective stoma. However, selective use of a DS is justified from a patient safety point of view if the CAL-rate and its related mortality are limited. Each unit should audit its performance.

Abstract
Em uma casuística de 24.600 pacientes, 923 eram portadores de tumores de intestino grosso (3.8%), dos quais 870 eram tumores colorretais (94,2%), dos quais 490 eram câncer nos cólons (53,1%) e 380 no reto (41,2%), e apenas 53 tumores anais (5,7%). No decurso da abordagem cirúrgica foram executados 276 estomas. O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar os 870 pacientes portadores de câncer colorretal, analisando, especificamente, os 276 estomas criados nos mesmos (31,7%), estratificando-os em temporários e definitivos, descrevendo suas modalidades e indicações, bem como suas complicações e abordagem das mesmas. O índice de operabilidade foi de 98,1% (853 pacientes). O índice de ressecção de tumores foi de 90,6% (778 pacientes). As técnicas cirúrgicas mais usadas foram as ressecções abdominais com anastomose (617 casos, 70,9%), seguidas pelas amputações abdominoperineais (15,5%). A incidência de estomas foi de 31,7% (276 casos), sendo 73 temporários (8,4%) e 203 definitivos (23,3%). O estoma mais realizado foi a colostomia terminal (181 casos, 21,2%), sendo o estoma temporário mais comum a ileostomia em alça (33 casos, 3,9%) e o estoma definitivo mais comum a colostomia terminal (156 casos, 18,3%). A incidência de complicações foi de 7,6% (21 casos), sendo o estoma que mais complicou a colostomia em alça (9,1%) e a ileostomia em alça (9,1%), e o que menos complicou a ileostomia terminal (0%). As complicações mais freqüente foram os prolapsos (seis casos), seguidos pelas necroses (cinco casos) e pelas estenoses tubulares (cinco casos). A técnica mais comum usada na complicação dos estomas foi a incisão pericolostômica e correção do estoma (12 casos), e a laparotomia com colectomia e confecção de novo estoma (cinco casos).

Abstract
The creation of intestinal stomas for diversion of enteric contents is an important component of the surgical management of several gastroenterologic disease processes. Despite the frequency with which these procedures are performed, complications of stoma creation remain common, despite extensive measures aimed at reducing them. Early postoperative complications (those seen less than one month postoperatively) can lead to significant cost, both financially and psychologically, and incur significant morbidity. Commonly seen early postoperative stomal complications include improper stoma site selection, vascular compromise, retraction, peristomal skin irritation, peristomal infection/abscess/fistula, acute parastomal herniation and bowel obstruction, and pure technical errors. The author reviews these early complications associated with stoma creation, discusses means of preventing them, and outlines the management strategy for such complications when they do occur.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical strategy for acute colorectal obstruction due to colorectal cancer remains controversial. One-, two- and three-stage surgical procedures, and preoperative stenting of the stenosis as a bridge to surgery, are available. METHODS A systematic review was conducted, searching MEDLINE, EMBASE and CENTRAL, as well as bibliographies of included studies, to identify randomized and non-randomized controlled trials that compared two or more surgical procedures in acute colonic obstruction. RESULTS After screening 1748 titles and abstracts, 209 were selected for full text assessment; 29 studies with 2286 patients were finally included. In general, the quality of the studies was limited, with only three randomized trials. Eight non-randomized studies comparing one-stage with two- or three-stage surgery consistently favoured a one-stage procedure in terms of mortality (relative risk difference from - 2 to - 27 per cent), but reported morbidity rates were not different. Trials of different one-stage procedures (segmental and total/subtotal colectomy) showed none to be clearly superior. Stenting procedures were superior to non-stenting treatments. CONCLUSION One-stage surgery appears to be superior to two- or three-stage procedures. Stenting is a promising option, allowing the resection to be carried out in an elective setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal treatment remains controversial for acute left-sided colon perforation. Therefore, the effectiveness and safety of primary anastomosis versus Hartmann's operation (HP) was compared in a case-matched control study. METHODS Thirty consecutive patients with primary anastomosis and protective ileostomy (PAS) were matched to 30 HP patients, controlling for age, gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, body mass index (BMI), and peritonitis severity (Hinchey). In a second analysis, PAS patients with purulent peritonitis (Hinchey 3) were matched to patients with primary anastomosis without ileostomy (PA). RESULTS Hospital mortality was similar between HP (17%) and PAS (10%). Complication frequency and severity (requiring re-intervention or admission to the Intensive Care Unit [ICU]) were comparable for the first operation (60% versus 56% and 30% versus 32%). The stoma reversal rate was higher in PAS than in HP (96% versus 60%, p = 0.001), with significantly fewer complications (23% versus 66%, p = 0.02), and lower severity (7% versus 33%, p = 0.02). Additional analysis of PAS versus PA showed similar morbidity (52% versus 41%, p = 0.45) and complication severity (18% versus 24%, p = 0.51), whereas overall operation time and hospital stay were significantly shorter in PA (169 versus 320 min, p = 0.003, 17 versus 28 days, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Primary anastomosis and protective ileostomy is a superior treatment to HP in acute left-sided colon perforation. In the absence of feculent peritonitis an ileostomy appears unnecessary.

Abstract
Reversal of a Hartmann's operation can be a morbid undertaking; successful restoration of intestinal continuity cannot be guaranteed. Between June 2001 and July 2006, 35 Hartmann's reversals were undertaken. There were 19 males (54%). Mean age was 54.7 years (range, 14–82 years). Twenty-one (60%) patients had their Hartmann's for diverticular disease, 7 (20%) for anorectal cancer, 4 (11%) for volvulus, and 3 for miscellaneous reasons. Mean length of stay was 7.7 days (range, 3–16 days); 23 per cent required intensive care for a mean 2.3 days (range, 1–4 days). Blood loss was 470 mL, and mean operative time was 4.28 hours (range, 1–8.3 hours). The mean time interval between the original operation and its reversal was 8.9 months (range, 1.4–55 months). Extensive lysis of adhesions was required in 69 per cent, 40 per cent experienced minor complications (urinary tract infections, ileus, and so on), and 38 per cent had major complications (myocardial infarction, leak, hernias, respiratory failure). There was one death (3%). The operation failed because of intraoperative circumstances in three patients (8%). Ten patients (26%) had stomas at the time of discharge of which 3 were intended to be permanent and 7 were temporary. Of the latter, 3 were successfully closed, 3 are awaiting closure, and 1 had complete anastomotic failure requiring permanent diversion. Total failure rate was 10.3 per cent; contributing factors included prior radiation and ultra-low anastomoses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In many patients with rectal cancer, defunctioning stomas are created to limit the consequences of anastomotic leakage. Although intended to be temporary, a substantial proportion of these stomas might never be reversed for various reasons. We aimed to describe stoma policy by use of data from the total mesorectal excision (TME) trial in patients with rectal cancer and to identify factors that limit stoma reversal. METHODS 924 Dutch patients with rectal cancer who underwent a low anterior resection were selected from the TME trial, a prospective, randomised multicentre trial studying the effects of short-term preoperative radiotherapy in 1861 patients who underwent TME. Creation of stomas and time to stoma reversal were analysed retrospectively by use of multivariate analysis. FINDINGS In 523 of 924 (57%) patients, a primary stoma (defined as a stoma created at the time of TME) was constructed after a low anterior resection. Geographical differences in the number of primary stomas constructed were reported throughout the Netherlands. 19% of stomas that were created were never reversed. Postoperative complications and secondary constructed stomas (defined as a stoma created during a second or subsequent procedure after TME) were associated with a high likelihood of a permanent stoma. However, perioperative complications were not a limiting factor for stoma closure. INTERPRETATION Postoperative complications are an important limiting factor for stoma reversal because, after occurrence of these complications, patients and surgeons might be reluctant to reverse the stoma, so a substantial proportion of these stomas are never closed. Future guidelines for stoma creation and closure should consider these factors.

Abstract
OBJETIVO: elaborar o perfil dos pacientes ostomizados e as complicações relacionadas ao estoma. MATERIAL E MÉTODO: estudo retrospectivo em que foram analisados prontuários dos pacientes cadastrados no Programa de Ostomizados do Centro de Especialidades Médicas da Prefeitura Municipal de Campo Grande-MS. RESULTADOS: foram avaliados 178 prontuários (56.7% homens e 43.3% mulheres). A média de idade entre os pacientes foi de 46.8 anos para o sexo masculino e de 54.6 anos para os do sexo feminino. Dentre as ostomias, foram encontradas 152 colostomias (85.4%), 21 ileostomias (11.8%) e 5 urostomias (2.8%). O principal motivo para confecção dos estomas foi a neoplasia maligna (46.6%), seguido do trauma abdominal (7.3%), e do desvio de trânsito intestinal devido a úlceras de pressão (6.7%). Adaptação inadequada da placa ao estoma foi encontrada em 90 pacientes (50.6%). Complicações do estoma foram encontradas em 103 pacientes (57.9%), dentre elas, dermatite peri-estomal (28.7%), estoma plano (18.6%), hérnia para-colostômica (10.7%) e retração do estoma (10.1%). CONCLUSÕES: No grupo estudado, o principal motivo para a confecção de ostomia foi a neoplasia de retossigmóide e canal anal. A complicação mais comum foi a dermatite peri-estomal.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Parastomal hernia is a common complication after stoma formation. The objective of the study was to see whether placing prophylactic preperitoneal mesh could reduce the incidence of parastomal hernia. METHOD Patients having elective bowel surgery requiring permanent stoma were included in this study. The time required for mesh insertion, day of stoma function, and early complications were recorded. Follow up was at 6 weeks, 3-monthly for the first year and at 6-monthly intervals thereafter. RESULTS Eighteen patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were followed up for 6-28 months (mean 16.05). The time taken for mesh placement was 12-22 min (mean 14). One patient had to have revision surgery on day 1 for stomal necrosis - the mesh was left in situ in that instance. This patient developed superficial laparotomy wound infection. During the follow up, no patients developed parastomal hernia, stomal prolapse, stenosis, retraction, fistula or obstruction. CONCLUSION The early results, in this group of patients, show that prophylactic polypropylene mesh insertion at the time of permanent stoma formation is encouraging and long-term results are awaited.

Abstract
Risk may be defined as 'the chance that something may happen to cause loss or an adverse effect' (Concise Oxford Medical Dictionary, 2003). Patients undergoing stoma formation are at risk of developing a wide range of complications following surgery. A parastomal hernia is an adverse effect that can contribute to postoperative morbidity. The risk of developing a parastomal hernia is dependent upon a number of variables, and stoma care nurses need to be aware of these to plan the appropriate care for patients undergoing stoma formation. This article discusses the issues surrounding the development of parastomal hernias and also looks at ways in which the risk factors associated with the development of a parastomal hernia may be minimized.

Abstract
Creation of an intestinal stoma may be necessary in a wide variety of colorectal diseases of both benign and malignant character. Open and laparoscopic techniques can be used for the fecal diversion. We report a case of a patient with a diverticulitis of the sigmoid colon with abscess formation and fistulation to the abdominal wall and vagina. Owing to severe comorbidity, a permanent fecal diversion was prepared. We performed a laparoscopic no-trocar technique. Only 1 incision, at the planned stoma site, was used. The abdominal wall was elevated with gaspers, no pneumoperitoneum or trocars were used. The laparoscope and reuseable laparoscopic graspers were introduced through the stoma site to correctly identify and grasp a loop of the terminal ileum. Finally, the loop ileostomy was placed on a bar. This laparoscopic technique is a valid alternative to standard laparoscopic stoma creation. Different techniques for stoma creation are discussed.

Abstract
Secondary peritonitis is associated with serious morbidity and a persistent high mortality in recent decades, this despite improvement in antibiotic, intensive care and surgical treatment. The available literature regarding the surgical treatment of secondary peritonitis was searched through Pubmed (1966- January 2005) as well as a hand search of references of retrieved articles. Definitions, pathophysiology and classification of secondary peritonitis are discussed, as well as the scientific rationale for the surgical treatment in secondary peritonitis. The historical development and the scientific foundation of present-day relaparotomy strategies in secondary peritonitis are evaluated, with an emphasis on two frequently applied surgical treatment strategies: planned relaparotomy and relaparotomy on demand. Criteria for relaparotomy after the initial laparotomy and potential areas for further research to reduce both morbidity and mortality are discussed. Furthermore, the care of patients with secondary peritonitis is evolving from a surgical entity to a more multidisciplinary challenge uniting surgeons, intensivists, radiologists and microbiologists. Research needs to be expanded into novel fields to further decrease morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of end colostomy complications and the evaluation of factors influencing outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS Three hundred and thirty patients with end colostomy were studied. All patient were recalled for examination for recent complications. Early complications included stoma site pain, early dermal irritation (during the first month after surgery), mucosal bleeding, stomal prolapse and psychosocial complications. Late complications included peristomal hernia, stomal stenosis, late dermal irritation (after the first month), stomal retraction, stomal necrosis and other stoma complications (perforation, fistula etc.). Probable underlying factors were studied. To evaluate risk factors affecting complications, univariable analysis and then multivariable analysis by binary logistic regression was performed. RESULTS One hundred and one (30.6%) patients had no complications and the remainder had at least one of early or late complications. Overall, psychosocial complications, 56.4%; mucosal bleeding, 34.5%; early dermal irritation, 23.5% were the most frequent complications. Peristomal hernia (11.2%) was the most common late complication. Those aged > 40 years had significant associations with psychosocial problem (OR = 2.77), mucosal haemorrhage (OR = 2.19), and early dermal irritation (OR = 3.14). The risks of peristomal hernia and early dermal irritation are greater in the patients with BMI > 25 kg/m2 (OR = 2.08 and 2.55, respectively). CONCLUSION The risk of most prevalent complications of colostomy construction increases in elder patients. The high prevalence of psychosocial and skin problems in patients with a colostomy, needs special attention especially from the viewpoint of education by trained stoma nurses and preparation of standard equipment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Since the introduction of total mesorectal excision (TME) as the standard operation technique for rectal cancer, anastomotic leakage percentages of up to 18% have been reported. To prevent such leakage, the use of mechanical bowel preparation and also the construction of a diverting ileostoma or colostomy have been standard procedures for years. In our institute, however, all patients undergoing colorectal surgery are operated upon without these measures. The present study was undertaken to investigate the results of this strategy in terms of the occurrence of postoperative anastomotic leakage. METHODS All patients who underwent an elective (low) anterior resection between January 1996 and December 2001 (n = 144) entered the study. The clinical and pathological records of these patients were reviewed retrospectively. The exclusion criteria were patients with fixed rectal carcinoma who received preoperative radiotherapy and/or a stoma only at operation, emergency operations, abdominoperoneal resections, and Hartmann's procedures. RESULTS Anastomotic leakage occurred in 7 out of 144 patients (4.9%). There was a trend toward a higher leakage frequency in men, in patients with a distal anastomosis, in patients with a stapled anastomosis, and in patients with a T3-T4 tumor or with positive lymph nodes. None of these factors, however, had a significant prognostic value based on a univariate or multivariate analysis. Those who died after leakage tended to be older than those who did not (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION A (low) anterior resection can be performed safely without mechanical bowel preparation or a diverting stoma, and results in an anastomotic leakage percentage of less than 5%. Appropriate selection of patients may be important, but none of the investigated patient- or tumor-related factors could be identified as decisive.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was designed to assess the costs and outcomes of colostomy and colostomy reversal in patients with diverticulitis and examine the impact of such procedures on the health care system. METHODS We employed a retrospective design and used a Washington State administrative database to identify patients undergoing operations with colostomy (1987-2002) who were followed over time. Descriptive and comparative analysis was performed, focusing on patients with diverticulitis. RESULTS There were 16,556 patients who underwent colostomy and 5,420 (32.7 percent) were for diverticulitis and its related complications (mean age, 64.8 +/- 15.1 years; 53.2 percent female). In patients with diverticulitis, the rate of colostomy reversal was 56.3 percent (80 percent in patients less than 50 years, and 30 percent in patients over 77 years). The in-hospital mortality rate after colostomy reversal was 0.36 percent, and was 2.6 percent in those over 77 years of age. After colostomy reversal a second stoma was used in 3.4 percent, reoperation was required for bleeding complications in 0.6 percent, and infectious complications were noted in 2 percent. The length of time from colostomy to its reversal was approximately five months (138.1 +/- 164 days; interquartile range, 72-156). The relationship between the length of time from colostomy to reversal was evaluated and the adjusted odds of a second stoma being used at the time of colostomy reversal were 45 percent higher (odds ratio, 1.45; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.22, 1.73) for each increase in time interval (<3, 6-9, 9-12, >12 months). CONCLUSIONS One-third of all colostomies were related to diverticulitis and only 56 percent were reversed. We identified a higher than expected mortality rate among older patients undergoing colostomy reversal. The impact of colostomy and reversal operations on both patients and the health care system is significant.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In 2003, critical care and infectious disease experts representing 11 international organizations developed management guidelines for source control in the management of severe sepsis and septic shock that would be of practical use for the bedside clinician, under the auspices of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign, an international effort to increase awareness and to improve outcome in severe sepsis. DESIGN The process included a modified Delphi method, a consensus conference, several subsequent smaller meetings of subgroups and key individuals, teleconferences, and electronic-based discussion among subgroups and among the entire committee. METHODS The modified Delphi methodology used for grading recommendations built on a 2001 publication sponsored by the International Sepsis Forum. We undertook a systematic review of the literature graded along five levels to create recommendation grades from A to E, with A being the highest grade. Pediatric considerations to contrast adult and pediatric management are in the article by Parker et al. on p. S591. CONCLUSION Source control represents a key component of success in therapy of sepsis. It includes drainage of infected fluids, debridement of infected soft tissues, removal of infected devices or foreign bodies, and finally, definite measures to correct anatomic derangement resulting in ongoing microbial contamination and to restore optimal function. Although highly logical, since source control is the best way to reduce quickly the bacterial inoculum, most recommendations are, however, graded as D or E due to the difficulty to perform appropriate randomized clinical trials in this respect. Appropriate source control should be part of the systematic checklist we have to keep in mind in setting up the therapeutic strategy in sepsis.

Abstract
A common operation for patients with complicated sigmoid diverticulitis is resection and placement of an ostomy (Hartmann procedure). This population-based study examines that proportion of ostomates who undergo reversal. In the California inpatient file, patients admitted for acute diverticulitis in 1995 were identified, including a subset that had surgical resection. Data regarding receipt of ostomy were obtained (4-year follow-up). Demographics and clinical data (procedure, ostomy reversal, time to reversal, comorbidity score, and complications) were collected. In 1995, 11,582 admissions for diverticulitis occurred in California. Of these, 24.2 per cent (n = 2808) underwent surgery at admission; 88.9 per cent were sigmoid/left colectomies; and 41.7 per cent had a Hartmann procedure. Patients with ostomies were older ( P = 0.0004) and male ( P = 0.03). Median comobidity score was the same for patients with or without an ostomy. Of the 1176 patients who had the Hartmann procedure, 65 per cent underwent reversal (mean 143 days). A larger proportion of men than women had their ostomies reversed (74.5% vs 55.9%, respectively, P < 0.0001). Median comorbidity scores for both groups were low, 0 for those reversed and 1 for nonreversed. Our study shows that although the majority of patients had their ostomies reversed, over 35 per cent did not at 4-year follow-up. Further studies are required to evaluate how this rate may be improved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parastomal hernia following formation of an ileostomy or colostomy is common. This article reviews the incidence of hernia, the technical factors related to the construction of the stoma that may influence the incidence, and the success of the different methods of repair. METHODS A literature search using the Medline database was performed to locate English language articles on parastomal hernia. Further articles were obtained from the references cited in the literature initially reviewed. RESULTS Parastomal hernia affects 1.8-28.3 per cent of end ileostomies, and 0-6.2 per cent of loop ileostomies. Following colostomy formation, the rates are 4.0-48.1 and 0-30.8 per cent respectively. Site of stoma formation (through or lateral to rectus abdominis), trephine size, fascial fixation and closure of lateral space are not proven to affect the incidence of hernia. The role of extraperitoneal stoma construction is uncertain. Mesh repair gives a lower rate of recurrence (0-33.3 per cent) than direct tissue repair (46-100 per cent) or stoma relocation (0-76.2 per cent). CONCLUSION The incidence of parastomal hernia is between 0 and 48.1 per cent, depending on the type of stoma and length of follow-up. No technical factors related to the construction of the stoma have been shown to prevent herniation. If repair is required, a prosthetic mesh technique should be considered. Further randomized clinical trials (particularly of extraperitoneal stoma construction) are needed.
