Abstract
BACKGROUND A permanent stoma is frequently recommended in the setting of complex or recurrent rectovaginal fistulas because of the high failure rate of reconstructive procedures. The Turnbull-Cutait pull-through procedure is a salvage operation for motivated patients desiring to avoid permanent fecal diversion. OBJECTIVE To analyze the cure rates of complex rectovaginal fistulas after the Turnbull-Cutait pull-through procedure based on cause. DESIGN After the institutional review approval board, a retrospective review of women who underwent the procedure (1993-2018) for a rectovaginal fistula was conducted. Patients' demographics, cause, and postoperative outcomes were analyzed. SETTING Colorectal surgery department at a tertiary center in the United States. PATIENTS Adult women with a rectovaginal fistula who underwent a colonic pull-through procedure were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Recurrence after the colonic pull-through procedure. RESULTS There were 81 patients who underwent colonic pull-through; of those, 26 patients had a rectovaginal fistula, had a median age of 51 (43-57) years, and had a mean BMI of 28 ± 3.2 kg/m 2 . A total of 4 patients (15%) had a recurrence and 85% of the patients healed. Ninety-three percent of the patients healed after the prior anastomotic leak. Patients with a Crohn's disease-related fistula had a 75% cure rate. The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a cumulative incidence of recurrence of 8% (95% CI, 0%-8%) within 6 months after surgery and 12% at 12 months. LIMITATIONS Retrospective design. CONCLUSIONS The Turnbull-Cutait pull-through procedure may be the last option to preserve intestinal continuity and successfully treat rectovaginal fistulas in 85% of cases. EL PROCEDIMIENTO PULLTHROUGH DE TURNBULLCUTAIT ES UNA ALTERNATIVA A LA OSTOMA PERMANENTE EN PACIENTES CON FSTULAS PLVICAS COMPLEJAS ANTECEDENTES:Con frecuencia se recomienda un estoma permanente en el contexto de una fístula rectovaginal compleja o recurrente debido a la alta tasa de fracaso de los procedimientos reconstructivos. El procedimiento de extracción de Turnbull-Cutait es una operación de rescate para pacientes motivados que desean evitar la desviación fecal permanente.OBJETIVO:Analizar las tasas de curación de la fístula rectovaginal compleja después del procedimiento de extracción de Turnbull-Cutait según la etiología.DISEÑO:Después de la junta de aprobación de revisión institucional, se realizó una revisión retrospectiva de mujeres que se sometieron a un procedimiento (1993-2018) por fístula rectovaginal. Se analizaron los datos demográficos, la etiología y los resultados posoperatorios de los pacientes.AJUSTE:Departamento de cirugía colorrectal en un centro terciario en los Estados Unidos.PACIENTES:Mujeres adultas con fístula rectovaginal que se sometieron a extracción del colon.RESULTADO PRINCIPAL:recurrencia después de la extracción del colon.RESULTADOS:Hubo 81 pacientes que tenían extracción colónica, de esas 26 fístulas rectovaginales con una mediana de edad de 51 (43 - 57) años, y un índice de masa corporal promedio de 28 ± 3,2 kg/m2. Un total de 4 (15%) pacientes tuvieron una recurrencia y el 85% de los pacientes se curaron. El noventa y tres por ciento de los pacientes se curaron después de la fuga anastomótica previa. Los pacientes con fístula relacionada con EC tuvieron una tasa de curación del 75%. El análisis de Kaplan Meier mostró una incidencia acumulada de recurrencia del 8% [95% intervalo de confianza 0%-18%] dentro de los 6 meses posteriores a la cirugía y del 12% a los 12 meses.LIMITACIONES:Diseño retrospectivo.CONCLUSIONES:El procedimiento de extracción de Turnbull-Cutait puede ser la última opción que se puede ofrecer para preservar la continuidad intestinal y tratar la fístula rectovaginal con éxito en el 85% de los casos.

Outcomes of redo for failed colorectal or coloanal anastomoses: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Ann Coloproctol 2023; 39:375-384. [PMID: 36535708 PMCID: PMC10626334 DOI: 10.3393/ac.2022.00605.0086] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 11/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to review the outcomes of redo procedures for failed colorectal or coloanal anastomoses. METHODS A systematic review was performed using the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and LILACS databases. The inclusion criteria were adult patients undergoing colectomy with primary colorectal or coloanal anastomosis and studies that assessed the postoperative results. The protocol is registered in PROSPERO (No. CRD42021267715). RESULTS Eleven articles met the eligibility criteria and were selected. The studied population size ranged from 7 to 78 patients. The overall mortality rate was 0% (95% confidence interval [CI], 0%-0.01%). The postoperative complication rate was 40% (95% CI, 40%-50%). The length of hospital stay was 13.68 days (95% CI, 11.3-16.06 days). After redo surgery, 82% of the patients were free of stoma (95% CI, 75%-90%), and 24% of patients (95% CI, 0%-39%) had fecal incontinence. Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (P=0.002) was associated with a lower probability of being free of stoma in meta-regression. CONCLUSION Redo colorectal and coloanal anastomoses are strategies to restore colonic continuity. The decision to perform a redo operation should be based on a proper evaluation of the morbidity and mortality risks, the probability of remaining free of stoma, the quality of life, and a functional assessment.

Abstract
AIM The Turnbull-Cutait pull-through procedure (TCO) restores intestinal continuity in the setting of chronic pelvic sepsis, colorectal anastomotic leak, complex pelvic fistulas and technical challenges related to complicated rectal cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of the TCO for salvaging complex pelvic conditions and to compare it to hand-sewn immediate coloanal anastomosis (CAA). METHODS This is a retrospective single-institution study where we searched a prospectively maintained database to identify patients who underwent the TCO. Patient demographics, operative indications and outcomes were analysed. TCO success was defined as maintenance of intestinal continuity and being stoma-free. Kaplan-Meier analysis was employed for stoma-free survival analysis. RESULTS A total of 81 patients with TCO and 129 patients with CAA were included. The TCO success rate was 69% at a median of 1.4 years' follow-up with 25 (31%) patients ending up with a permanent stoma compared to 22 (17%) in the CAA group with a median follow-up of 4 years (P = 0.03). The Kaplan-Meier cumulative incidence of TCO success at 1, 3 and 5 years was 79%, 60% and 51%, respectively, compared to 91%, 81% and 73% after CAA. CONCLUSION The TCO has a high success rate for patients with complex pelvic conditions who may be facing a permanent stoma as their only option.

Tech Coloproctol 2022; 26:603-613. [PMID: 35344150 DOI: 10.1007/s10151-022-02601-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2021] [Accepted: 02/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Theoretical advantages of Turnbull-Cutait pull-through delayed coloanal anastomosis (DCAA) are a reduced risk of anastomotic leak and therefore avoidance of stoma. Gradually abandoned in favor of immediate coloanal anastomosis (ICAA) with diverting stoma, DCAA has regained popularity in recent years in reconstructive surgery for low RC, especially when combined with minimally invasive surgery (MIS). The aim of this study was to perform the first meta-analysis, exploring the safety and outcomes of DCAA compared to ICAA with protective stoma. METHODS A systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL and Google Scholar databases was performed for studies published from January 2000 until December 2020. The systematic review and meta-analysis were performed according to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Review on Interventions recommendations and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. RESULTS Out of 2626 studies screened, 9 were included in the systematic review and 4 studies in the meta-analysis. Outcomes included were postoperative complications, pelvic sepsis and risk of definitive stoma. Considering postoperative complications classified as Clavien-Dindo III, no significant difference existed in the rate of postoperative morbidity between DCAA and ICAA (13% versus 21%; OR 1.17; 95% CI 0.38-3.62; p = 0.78; I2 = 20%). Patients in the DCAA group experienced a lower rate of postoperative pelvic sepsis compared with patients undergoing ICAA with diverting stoma (7% versus 14%; OR 0.37; 95% CI 0.16-0.85; p = 0.02; I2 = 0%). The risk of definitive stoma was comparable between the two groups (2% versus 2% OR 0.77; 95% CI 0.15-3.85; p = 0.75; I2 = 0%). CONCLUSIONS According to the limited current evidence, DCAA is associated with a significant decrease in pelvic sepsis. Further prospective trials focusing on oncologic and functional outcomes are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Redo anastomosis can be considered in selected patients with persistent leakage, stenosis, or local recurrence. It is technically challenging, and little is known about the functional outcomes after this seldomly performed type of surgery. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare functional outcomes and the quality of life between redo anastomosis and primary successful anastomosis following total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer. DESIGN This study was designed as an international multicenter comparative cohort study. SETTINGS The study was conducted in 3 tertiary referral centers in the Netherlands, Belgium, and France. PATIENTS Patients undergoing redo anastomosis were compared with patients with a primary successful anastomosis after total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Low anterior resection syndrome score, European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ) C30, and EORTC QLQ-CR29 questionnaires were used to assess outcomes. RESULTS In total, 170 patients were included; 52 underwent redo anastomosis and 118 were controls. Major low anterior resection syndrome occurred in 73% after redo anastomosis compared with 68% following primary successful anastomosis (p = 0.52). The redo group had worse EORTC QLQ-CR29 mean scores for fecal incontinence (p = 0.03) and flatulence (p = 0.008). There were no differences in urinary (p = 0.48) or sexual dysfunction, either in men (p = 0.83) or in women (p = 0.76). Significantly worse scores in the redo group were found for global health (p = 0.002), role (p = 0.049) and social function (p = 0.006), body image (p = 0.03), and anxiety (p = 0.02). LIMITATIONS This study is limited by the possible response bias. CONCLUSIONS Redo anastomosis is associated with significantly worse quality of life compared with primary successful anastomosis. However, major low anterior resection syndrome was comparable between groups and should not be a reason to preclude restoration of bowel continuity in highly motivated patients.

Esto es técnicamente desafiante y poco se sabe sobre los resultados funcionales después de este tipo de cirugía que rara vez se realiza.OBJETIVO:El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar resultados funcionales y la calidad de vida entre reconstrucción de la anastomosis y la anastomosis primaria exitosa posterior de la escisión total de mesorrecto (TME) por cáncer de recto.DISEÑO:Este estudio fue diseñado como un estudio internacional multicéntrico de cohorte comparativo.ENTORNO CLINICO:El estudio se llevó a cabo en tres centros de referencia terciarios en Holanda, Bélgica y Francia.PACIENTES:Los pacientes sometidos a reconstrucción de anastomosis fueron comparados con pacientes con anastomosis primaria exitosa después de TME por cáncer de recto.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE VALORACION:Los cuestionarios; Escala de Síndrome de Resección Anterior Baja (LARS), EORTC QLQ-C30, y QLQ-CR29, fueron utilizados para evaluar los resultados.RESULTADOS:En total, se incluyeron 170 pacientes; 52 reconstrucción de anastomosis y 118 controles. LARS ocurrió en el 73% posterior a la reconstrucción de la anastomosis en comparación con el 68% posterior a la anastomosis primaria exitosa (p = 0,52). El grupo de reconstrucción tuvo peores puntuaciones medias de EORTC QLQ-CR29 para incontinencia fecal (p = 0,03) y flatulencia (p = 0,008). No hubo diferencias en disfunción urinaria (p = 0,48) o sexual, ni en hombres (p = 0,83) ni en mujeres (p = 0,76). Se encontraron puntuaciones significativamente peores en el grupo de reconstrucción para salud global (p = 0,002), desempeño (p = 0,049) y función social (p = 0,006), imagen corporal (p = 0,03) y ansiedad (p = 0,02).LIMITACIONES:La limitación de este estudio es el posible sesgo de respuesta.CONCLUSIONES:La reconstrucción de la anastomosis se asocia con una calidad de vida significativamente peor en comparación con los pacientes con anastomosis primaria exitosa. Sin embargo, LARS fue comparable entre los grupos y no debería ser una razón para impedir la restauración de la continuidad intestinal en pacientes muy motivados.

Abstract
A 58-year-old Japanese man, with a body mass index of 41.7 kg/m<sup>2</sup> (height: 179.8 cm; weight: 133.8 kg), underwent a laparoscopic pull-through procedure with delayed coloanal anastomosis performed in two surgical stages for lower rectal cancer. This method was selected because the volume of the abdominal wall was fairly thick and it would have been impossible to perform diverting ileostomy and colostomy, which are routinely conducted. First, a colonic pull-through segment of about 10 cm was left outside the anal canal without any tension and was fixed by sutures under indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (ICG FI). The second surgical stage was performed 10 days after the first operation under general anesthesia. Final coloanal anastomosis was performed with near-infrared light without diverting the stoma under ICG FI. The patient demonstrated a good postoperative course and was discharged from our hospital in remission 15 days after the latest operation. We could inspect the coloanal flow of the anastomosis under ICG FI before the reconstruction. This procedure was considered to be a standard method, but it was overtaken by new technology, ICG FI. This procedure is an ultimate stomaless surgery for ultralow rectal cancer that can be performed in selected cases, such as in patients with a high body mass index and with hope for stomaless operation.

Abstract
To analyze the role of stoma diversion and timing of stoma maintenance in the healing of post-surgical Recto Vaginal Fistulae (psRVF). A retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained registry. All patients with a psRVF diagnosed at IRCCS Sacro Cuore-Don Calabria Hospital of Negrar di Valpolicella from January 2002 to December 2016 were analyzed. The baseline treatment was a fecal diversion. Patients were divided into two groups according to healing time: < 6 months (Group 1) or > 6 months (Group 2). 2043 women underwent rectal resections in the study period. We recorded 37 patients with psRVF (1.8%). Nineteen women (51.3%) healed (Group 1) within 6 months. The median time of psRVF recovery in group 1 was 99.7 days. Concomitant local treatment of the fistula did not influence the healing rate (p 0.8). Colostomies were significantly higher in group 1 (p 0.003). The size of the psRVF influenced the success rate of fistula healing with loop stoma (p 0.07). A multivariate analysis the presence of fever and pelvic abscess (pelvis sepsis) were significantly associated with diversion failure (p 0.035). A step-up approach with the maintenance of loop stoma at least for six months for all patients with psRVF could be changed. Patients with larger fistula and pelvic sepsis at index procedure should be addressed earlier to a specific second-level treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed colo-anal anastomosis (DCAA) has received renewed interest thanks to its reduction in anastomotic leakage rate without the use of stoma to protect a low rectal anastomosis. The aim of this review was to summarize the available literature on DCAA following rectal cancer resection and to report clinical, oncological and functional results. METHODS A comprehensive literature review was conducted including MEDLINE/Pubmed, EMBASE, SCOPUS, clinicaltrials.gov and the Cochrane database of systematic reviews through July 2018. The review was conducted according to MOOSE guidelines. Quality was appraised with the methodological index for non-randomized studies (MINORS) tool. RESULTS Eight observational studies (409 patients) were included. Average MINORS score was 9.6/14 in seven non-comparative studies and 17/22 in one comparative study. Six studies reported no anastomotic leak. Pelvic sepsis/abscess ranged from 0 to 25%. Mortality rate was <3% in seven studies and 12.5% in one. Poor fecal continence was reported in <30% of patients. Need for permanent stoma was ≤2% in six studies. A five-year survival rate ranged from 63.8 to 81% (four studies). Loco-regional recurrence rate ranged from 4.8 to 14.3% at 3 years (four studies) and from 6 to 38.8% at 5 years (three studies). CONCLUSION DCAA offers an alternative to primary straight colo-anal anastomosis for low rectal cancer. The benefits include reduced risk of anastomotic leakage and pelvic sepsis, and no need for protective ileostomy, with good functional and oncological outcomes. Results of ongoing randomized controlled trials comparing DCAA with straight colo-anal anastomosis and protective stoma are awaited to draw definitive conclusions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND When a colorectal or coloanal anastomosis fails because of persistent leakage or stenosis, or the anastomosis has to be resected for recurrent cancer, constructing a new anastomosis might be an option in selected patients. This is a rare and complex type of redo surgery. OBJECTIVE The aim of this review was to evaluate the current literature on redo anastomosis for complicated colorectal or coloanal anastomosis. DATA SOURCES A systematic literature search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, the PROSPERO register, clinicaltrials.gov, and the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform database was performed. STUDY SELECTION Two reviewers independently screened the available literature. All studies reporting on redo surgery and aiming at reconstruction of a prior low colorectal or coloanal anastomosis for any indication were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Primary outcome was successful restoration of continuity. Secondary outcomes were postoperative morbidity, pelvic sepsis, incontinence, and mortality. RESULTS Nine studies were included, comprising 291 patients, of whom 76% had index surgery for colorectal cancer. Pooled proportions showed an overall success rate of 79% (95% CI, 69-86), with a pooled incidence of major postoperative morbidity of 16% (95% CI, 10-24). The pooled pelvic sepsis rate was 16% (95% CI, 9-27), and the pooled surgical reintervention and readmission rates were 11% (95% CI, 8-17) and 7% (95% CI, 3-15). Five studies reported on incontinence, with a pooled proportion of 17% (95% CI, 10-26). LIMITATIONS The limitations of this review are the lack of randomized controlled trials and high-quality studies, and the small sample sizes and heterogeneous patient populations in the included studies. CONCLUSIONS Redo surgery is a valuable treatment option for the complicated colorectal or coloanal anastomosis with 79% successful restoration of bowel continuity in the published literature from experienced tertiary centers.

Abstract
PURPOSE Radiation-induced rectovaginal fistula (RI-RVF) is a chronic and serious condition with a significant influence on quality of life. The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of surgical treatment of rectovaginal fistulas of patients previously undergoing radiotherapy. METHODS Fifty patients treated in the Gynaecological Radiotherapy Unit for gynaecologic malignancy and in the Department of General and Colorectal Surgery for RI-RVF between 2003 and 2013 were enrolled into a prospectively maintained database and underwent regular follow-up examinations in an outpatient clinic, during which surgical outcomes were assessed. RESULTS Median age was 60 years (range 40-84 years). Cervical cancer was the most common cause of radiotherapy. Median time of fistula development after radiotherapy was 20 months (range 5-240 months). In 48 (96%) patients, only faecal diversion could be performed, while two patients underwent rectal resection. The fistula healed in six patients. Factors that correlated with fistula healing were a distance from the anal verge above 7 cm (p = 0.007 OR 18 95%CI 2.2609-14.3062) and creation of loop ileostomy (p = 0.08 OR 17 95%CI 1.2818-23.9701), whereas a prolonged course of radiotherapy of more than 6 weeks (p = 0.047) correlated negatively. In multivariate analysis, only distance from the anal verge remained significant (p = 0.031 OR 2.35 95%CI 1.0422-5.2924). CONCLUSIONS The treatment of radiation-induced rectovaginal fistulas needs to be tailored individually to each patient. Faecal diversion remains the simplest and safest method of treating RI-RVF, especially in the group of patients who cannot undergo complicated surgical procedures, and offers acceptable quality of life.

Two-stage Turnbull-Cutait pull-through coloanal anastomosis versus coloanal anastomosis with protective loop ileostomy for low rectal cancer. Protocol for a randomized controlled trial (Turnbull-BCN). Int J Colorectal Dis 2017; 32:1357-1362.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine whether patients that underwent ultra-low rectal resection for cancer can benefit from the recently reintroduced two-stage Turnbull-Cutait abdominoperineal pull-through procedure. METHODS Patients with low rectal tumors undergoing radical sphincter-sparing resection are eligible for inclusion in a randomized multicenter study. Whether two-stage Turnbull-Cutait coloanal anastomosis provides significant benefits over hand-sewn coloanal anastomosis and associated lateral ileostomy in terms of postoperative morbidity is the primary endpoint. In addition, the study aims to assess secondary endpoints such as quality of life, fecal incontinence, and locoregional recurrence of the neoplasm. Patients with adenocarcinoma of the lower rectum diagnosed by rigid proctoscopy, with histological confirmation of malignancy, and who are candidates of rectal removal and coloanal anastomosis will be included in a randomized controlled and multicenter trial. Postoperative morbidity is defined as complications that occur within 30 days of the data of the second surgical procedure of the last patient included in the trial. Patients will be followed for a minimum period of 3 years. CONCLUSIONS The two-stage Turnbull-Cutait coloanal anastomosis may constitute an effective surgical alternative in the current approach to the treatment of low rectal cancer without the need of a temporary loop colostomy, preventing the wide range of complications related to stoma surgery. TRIAL REGISTRATION This trial is registered at clinicaltrials.gov (trial number: NCT01766661). This trial is registered in January 10, 2013.

Abstract
Perianal Crohn’s disease affects a significant number of patients with Crohn’s disease and is associated with poor quality of life. The nature of the disease, compounded by presentation of various disease severities, has made the treatment of perianal Crohn’s disease difficult. The field continues to evolve with the use of both historical and contemporary solutions to address the challenges associated with it. The goal of this article is to review current literature regarding medical and surgical treatment, as well as the future directions of therapy.

Abstract
AIM This study compared the operative outcome and long-term survival of three types of hand-sewn coloanal anastomosis (CAA) for low rectal cancer. METHOD Patients presenting with low rectal cancer at a single centre between 2006 and 2014 were classified into three types of hand-sewn CAA: type 1 (supra-anal tumours undergoing transabdominal division of the rectum with transanal mucosectomy); type 2 (juxta-anal tumours, undergoing partial intersphincteric resection); and type 3 (intra-anal tumours, undergoing near-total intersphincteric resection with transanal mesorectal excision). RESULTS Seventy-one patients with low rectal cancer underwent CAA: 17 type 1; 39 type 2; and 15 type 3. The median age of patients was 61.6 years, with a male/female ratio of 2:1. Neoadjuvant therapy was given to 56 (79%) patients. R0 resection was achieved in 69 (97.2%) patients. Adverse events occurred in 25 (35.2%) of the 71 patients with a higher complication rate in type 1 vs type 2 vs type 3 (47.1% vs 38.5% vs 13.3%, respectively; P = 0.035). Anastomotic separation was identified in six (8.5%) patients and pelvic haematoma/seroma in five (7%); two (8.3%) female patients developed a recto-vaginal fistula. Ten (14.1%) patients were indefinitely diverted, with a trend towards higher long-term anastomotic failure in type 1 vs type 2 vs type 3 (17.6% vs 15.5% vs 6.7%). The type of anastomosis did not influence the overall or disease-free survival. CONCLUSION CAA is a safe technique in which anorectal continuity can be preserved either as a primary restorative option in elective cases of low rectal cancer or as a salvage procedure following a failed stapled anastomosis with a less successful outcome in the latter. CAA has acceptable morbidity with good long-term survival in carefully selected patients.
