Abstract
BACKGROUND Current guidelines recommend resection with primary anastomosis with diverting loop ileostomy over Hartmann's procedure if deemed safe for acute diverticulitis. The primary objective of the current study was to compare the utilization of these strategies and describe nationwide ostomy closure patterns and readmission outcomes within 1 year of discharge. METHODS This was a retrospective, population-based, cohort study of United States Hospitals reporting to the Nationwide Readmissions Database from January 2011 to December 2019. There were 35,774 patients identified undergoing non-elective primary anastomosis with diverting loop ileostomy or Hartmann's procedure for acute diverticulitis. Rates of ostomy closure, unplanned readmissions, and complications were compared. Cox proportional hazards and logistic regression models were used to control for patient and hospital-level confounders as well as severity of disease. RESULTS Of the 35,774 patients identified, 93.5% underwent Hartmann's procedure. Half (47.2%) were aged 46-65 years, 50.8% female, 41.2% publicly insured, and 91.7% underwent open surgery. Primary anastomosis was associated with higher rates of 1-year ostomy closure (83.6% vs. 53.4%, p < 0.001) and shorter time-to-closure [median 72 days (Interquartile range 49-103) vs. 115 (86-160); p < 0.001]. Primary anastomosis was associated with increased unplanned readmissions [Hazard Ratio = 2.83 (95% Confidence Interval 2.83-3.37); p < 0.001], but fewer complications upon stoma closure [Odds Ratio 0.51 (95% 0.42-0.63); p < 0.001]. There were no differences in complications between primary anastomosis and Hartmann's procedure during index admission [Odds Ratio = 1.13 (95% Confidence Interval 0.96-1.33); p = 0.137]. CONCLUSION Patients who undergo primary anastomosis for acute diverticulitis are more likely to undergo ostomy reversal and experience fewer postoperative complications upon stoma reversal. These data support the current national guidelines that recommend primary anastomosis in appropriate cases of acute diverticulitis requiring operative treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The selection of diverting ileostomy (DI) is controversial. This study aimed to explore the factors affecting the selection of diverting ileostomy (DI) following laparoscopic low anterior resection for rectal cancer. METHODS This retrospective, case-control study included patients who underwent laparoscopic-assisted sphincter-saving surgery for mid-low rectal cancer from January 2019 to June 2021. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed on the patient's clinicopathological characteristics and pelvic dimensions measured by abdominopelvic electron beam computed tomography. RESULTS A total of 382 patients were included in the analysis, of which 182 patients (47.6%) did not undergo DI, and 200 patients (52.4%) underwent DI. The univariate analysis suggested that male sex (p = 0.003), preoperative radiotherapy (p < 0.001), patients with an anastomosis below the levator ani plane (p < 0.001), the intertuberous distance (p < 0.001), the sacrococcygeal distance (p = 0.025), the mid pelvis anteroposterior diameter (p = 0.009), and the interspinous distance (p < 0.001) were associated with performing DI. Multivariate analysis confirmed that preoperative radiotherapy (p = 0.037, odds ratio [OR] = 2.98, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.07-8.30), anastomosis below the levator ani plane (p < 0.001, OR = 7.09, 95% CI = 4.13-12.18), and the interspinous distance (p = 0.047, OR = 0.97, 95% CI = 0.93-1.00) were independently associated with performing DI. CONCLUSION Pelvic parameters also influence the choice of DI. According to this single-center experience, patients with a shorter interspinous distance, particularly narrow pelvic with an interspinous distance of < 94.8 mm, preoperative radiotherapy, and anastomosis below the levator ani plane, prefer to have a DI and should be adequately prepared by the physician.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC), surgery is often postponed until disease is life-threatening or refractory to immune suppression. In these settings, diverting ileostomy (DI) is theorized to have a protective effect on the new anastomosis. However, analyses have been performed only in single-institution series and the true impact of performing DI at the time of IPAA on postoperative outcomes is unclear. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study using claims data from the International Business Machines (IBM) MarketScan® database. Patients were sorted to the DI group if they carried a CPT code for ostomy closure within 6 months of index procedure. We examined demographics, preoperative risk factors, and performed regression analysis to compare 30-day postoperative outcomes between groups. RESULTS We identified 317 patients ≤18yo that underwent IPAA procedure and met inclusion criteria from 2000 to 2019. Of these, 238 patients were assigned to the IPAA + DI cohort and 79 patients were assigned to the IPAA cohort. Adverse outcomes were comparable between cohorts. Surgical site infection (SSI) rates between IPAA and IPAA + DI were 10.1 vs. 11.3% (p = 0.67). Rates of intra-abdominal drainage procedures were 3.8 vs. 2.1% (p = 0.39). The rates of 30-day readmissions were 16.5 vs. 19.3% (p = 0.39). Creation of a DI was not associated with higher odds of 30-day readmission (OR = 1.4, p = 0.31). CONCLUSION Creating a DI necessitates an additional surgery for closure and is not associated with decreased adverse outcomes. There is still a role for multicenter studies to define which patient populations may benefit from diversion. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Retrospective comparative study. TYPE OF STUDY Level III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few randomized controlled trials on the efficacy of spray-type anti-adhesion material during diverting ileostomy in laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery. PURPOSE This study will assess whether or not spraying an anti-adhesion material during diverting ileostomy could reduce the surgeon's multifaceted workload in ileostomy closure. METHODS Patients with laparoscopic or robotic surgery for rectal cancer scheduled for low anterior resection and diverting ileostomy will be enrolled in the ADOBARRIER study (multicenter, single-blind, randomized controlled trial). The target sample size is set at 120 cases, which will be randomly divided into an anti-adhesion material-using group and a non-using group at a ratio of 1:1. The primary endpoint is the multifaceted workload of the surgeon of ileostomy closure using SURG-TLX between groups with and without usage of the anti-adhesion material during diverting ileostomy construction; the secondly endpoint is the operative time, amount of intraoperative blood loss, degree of adhesions, and extent of intra-abdominal adhesions when the ileostomy is closed. CONCLUSIONS This RCT will evaluate the efficacy and safety of spray-type anti-adhesion material for diverting ileostomy construction. The results of this study are expected to facilitate decision-making regarding the use of anti-adhesion material. TRIAL REGISTRATION This trial was registered with the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCT) in October 2020 as jRCTs032200155.

Abstract
PURPOSE Anastomotic leak is a feared complication of rectal cancer surgery. A diverting stoma is believed to act as a safety mechanism against this undesirable outcome. This meta-analysis aimed to examine the role of loop ileostomy in the prevention of this complication. METHODS The Medline, Embase and Cochrane databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing anastomotic complications after rectal cancer surgery in the presence or absence of diverting ileostomy. The need for reoperation and postoperative complications were also analysed. The length of hospital stay, intraoperative blood loss and operating time were analysed as secondary endpoints. RESULTS A significantly higher number of anastomotic leaks was detected in patients with no diverting ileostomies than in those with diversion (odds ratio (OR) 0.292 and 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.177-0.481), and more patients required reoperations in this group (OR 0.219 and 95% CI 0.114-0.422). The rate of complications other than anastomotic leak was significantly higher in patients with diverting ileostomies than in those without (OR 3.337 and 95% CI of 1.570-7.093). The operating time was longer in the ileostomy group than in the no ileostomy group (P 0.001), but no significant differences in the intraoperative blood loss or postoperative hospital stay length were observed between the two groups(P 0.199 and 0.191 respectively). CONCLUSION A lower leak rate in the presence of diverting ileostomy is supported by relatively weak evidence. While mitigating the consequences of leakage, diverting ileostomies lead to numerous other complications. High-quality RCTs are needed before routine ileostomy diversions can be recommended after rectal cancer surgery.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to clarify the safety of early closure in diverting ileostomy with lower anterior rectal-cancer resection. Methods We retrospectively reviewed consecutive 47 patients who underwent diverting ileostomy with lower rectal-cancer resection between May 2009 and October 2017. The results of the stoma closure were compared between patients who underwent stoma closure within 90 days (early closure [EC] group) and those who underwent late closure (LC group; closure after 90 days). Because of the small sample size, the frequency of severe complications post closure was analyzed. Results Among 47 patients, 29 were in the EC group. Postoperative complications occurred in 48.3% (14/29) and 27.8% (5/18) of patients in the EC and LC groups, respectively. This difference was due to minor complications (Clavien-Dindo Classification I/II), such as superficial incisional surgical site infections (n=5) in the EC group. The rate of severe complications (Clavien-Dindo Classification ≥ III) was similar between the groups (20.7% vs. 16.7%, p=1, Fisher’s exact test). Conclusions No association was observed between the time of closure and development of major complications; however, there was an increased likelihood of minor complications after EC. This study provides a basis on which future treatment guidelines for early stoma closure may be developed without affecting patient quality of life.

Abstract
PURPOSE Outlet obstruction is defined as bowel obstruction at the stoma opening. The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors for outlet obstruction in patients with rectal cancer who underwent laparoscopic surgery and diverting ileostomy. METHODS Among consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic curative resection for primary rectal cancer between 2013 and 2015, 261 patients with diverting ileostomy were included in the analysis. The thickness of the abdominal wall, including the thickness of the rectus abdominis muscle, was measured using preoperative computed tomography. The clinicopathological factors were compared between the patients with and without outlet obstruction. RESULTS Fourteen (5.4%) patients were diagnosed with outlet obstruction, but reoperation was not required. The rectus abdominis muscle was significantly thicker in male patients with outlet obstruction compared to those without outlet obstruction, but not in females. In a multivariate analysis, a rectus abdominis muscle thickness of 10 mm or more was determined to be an independent risk factor for outlet obstruction (odds ratio, 7.0482; p = 0.0061). CONCLUSIONS The thickness of the rectus abdominis muscle may be used to predict the occurrence of outlet obstruction in male patients with rectal cancer who undergo laparoscopic surgery and diverting ileostomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the factors related with diverting ileostomy performance after colorectal resection and anastomosis, in advanced ovarian cancer cytoreductive surgery. METHODS We have previously demonstrated the risk factors associated with anastomotic leak after colorectal anastomosis: Advanced age at surgery, low serum albumin level, additional bowel resections, manual anastomosis and distance of the anastomosis from the anal verge. However, use of diverting ileostomy is strongly variable and depends on individual surgeon preferences and training. Eight hospitals participated in this retrospective study. Data of 695 patients operated for ovarian cancer with primary colorectal anastomosis were included (January 2010-June 2018). Fourteen pre-/intraoperatively defined variables were identified and analysed as justification factors for use of diverting ileostomy. RESULTS The rate of diverting ileostomy in the entire cohort was 19.13% (133/695; range within individual centers 4.6-24.32%). Previous treatment with bevacizumab [OR 2.8 (1.3-6.1); p=0.01]; additional bowel resections [OR 3.0 (1.8-5.1); p<0.001]; extended operating time [OR 1.005 (1.003-1.006); p<0.001] and intra-operative red blood transfusion [OR 2.7 (1.4-5.3); p<0.001] were found to be independently associated with diverting ileostomy performance. Assuming a 7% AL rate cut-off, up to 51.8% of DI presented an AL risk below 7% and might have been spared. CONCLUSIONS The risk factors that drive the gynecologic oncology surgeons to perform a diverting ileostomy, seem to differ from the actual risk factors that we have identified to be associated with postoperative anastomotic leak. Broader awareness of the risk factors that contribute to a higher perioperative risk profile, will facilitate a better risk stratification process and possibly avoid unnecessary stoma formation in ovarian cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The value of proximal fecal diversion for patients undergoing colectomies is an ongoing debate. Previous studies have shown a benefit in decreased anastomotic leak rates and mitigation of the morbidity of a leak, especially in high-risk populations. However, more recent data suggests increased morbidity with fecal diversion, creating a complication with an unknown degree of anastomotic leak reduction. Therefore, we aimed to determine the impact on morbidity of a diverting loop ileostomy (DLI) in patients with a high risk of anastomotic leak. METHODS The ACS-NSQIP database was queried (via CPT code) for adult patients (age ≥18 years) who underwent a colectomy only or colectomy with ileostomy (CWI) between Jan 2013 and Dec 2016. We compared thirty-day outcomes between a 3:1 propensity-matched colectomy only group to patients who had a CWI. We used risk factors for anastomotic leak as a basis of our propensity match which included preoperative smoking, steroid use, preoperative weight loss, preoperative transfusion, hypoalbuminemia, and leukocytosis; intraoperative match variables included indication for surgery, wound class, duration of operation, primary CPT code, elective vs. emergent, and inpatient vs. outpatient surgery. RESULTS We identified 39,588 patients from the NSQIP database who had a colectomy only or a CWI. The colectomy only group was older (age 63 vs 52 years p < 0.001), overweight (BMI 34 vs 26.7, p < 0.001), more likely to be diabetic (16% vs 9.5%, p < 0.001) and hypertensive (49.3% vs 31.4%). However, the CWI group had higher steroid use (36.8% vs 10%, p < 0.001), preoperative sepsis (13.2% vs 2.5%, p < 0.001), smoking rate (25.7% vs 15.4%, p < 0.001), and preoperative weight loss (12.5% vs 4.9%, p < 0.001). Our propensity analysis matched 2274 colectomy only patients and 758 CWI patients. Baseline demographics were similar between groups. While the mortality rate was similar between groups (1.5% vs 1.8%, p = 0.8), CWI patients had longer length of stay (median 8 vs 7 days, p < 0.001), higher renal injury rates (3.2% vs 0.9%, p < 0.001), higher readmission rates (18.8% vs 11%, p < 0.001) and higher overall NSQIP morbidity (44.5% vs 37.6%, p = 0.001). The anastomotic leak rate was 3.8% in the CWI group and 5.1% in the colectomy only group (p = 0.09). CONCLUSIONS Significant thirty-day morbidity exists with a diverting ileostomy among high-risk colectomy patients with minimal benefit in anastomotic leak rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objectives of this study are to identify causes of high-output stoma (HOS) and outlet obstruction (OO), which are major complications of diverting ileostomy. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed in 103 patients who underwent colorectal surgery and diverting ileostomy between December 2015 and November 2018. RESULTS HOS was found in 32 patients (31.1%) and OO in 19 (18.4%). Organ/space surgical site infection (SSI), anastomotic leakage and OO were significant HOS-related factors in univariate analysis, and OO (odds ratio [OR] 3.39, p = 0.034) was a independent HOS-related factor in multivariate analysis. Organ/space SSI and male were significant OO-related factors in univariate analysis, and organ/space SSI (OR 3.77, p = 0.018) was a independent OO-related factor in multivariate analysis. The white blood cell (WBC) count on postoperative day (POD) 3 was significantly higher in the HOS group compared to the non-HOS group (9765 vs. 8130 /mL, p < 0.05), and the WBC count (9400 vs. 7475 /mL, p < 0.05) and C-reactive protein level (6.01 vs. 2.92 mg/L, p < 0.05) on POD 6 were significantly higher in the OO group compared to the non-OO group. CONCLUSION Organ/space infection is involved in the common pathology of HOS and OO. Decreased intestinal absorption due to intestinal edema caused by organ/space SSI and relative stenosis at the abdominal wall-penetrating site are major causes of HOS and OO.

Abstract
Background Anastomotic leakage (AL) is the most serious and common complication of surgery for rectal cancer, and associated risk factors remain unknown despite developments in laparoscopic surgery. The present study aimed to determine risk factors for AL after laparoscopic anterior resection (AR) of rectal cancer. Methods This retrospective cohort study extracted information from a prospective database of all consecutive colorectal resections that proceeded at Nippon Medical School Hospital between January 2011 and December 2015 (n = 865). We identified 154 patients with rectal cancer treated by elective laparoscopic AR with anastomosis using primary double-stapling. Clinical variables and comorbidity, habits, and surgery-related variables were assessed by univariate and multivariate analyses to determine preoperative risk factors for clinical AL. Results The overall rate of clinical AL was 11.7% (18 of 154 patients), and 5 (27.8%) of 18 patients required revised laparotomy. Data from males were analyzed because AL occurred only in males. Univariate analysis of male patients (n = 100) significantly associated preoperative creatinine values (p = 0.03) and a history of ischemic heart disease (IHD) (p = 0.012) with AL. The frequency of AL tended to increase (p = 0.06) when patients had low AR (p = 0.06) and transanal drainage. Having AL significantly prolonged hospital stays compared with patients without leakage (36.2 vs. 11.1 days; p < 0.01). Multivariate analysis identified a history of IHD (odds ratio [OR], 4.73; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.27–17.5; p = 0.025] as an independent risk factor for AL. Conclusions Male sex and a history of IHD are possible risk factors for AL after elective laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The need for routine diverting ileostomy following restorative total mesorectal excision (TME) is increasingly debated as the benefits might not outweigh the disadvantages. This study evaluated an institutional shift from routine (RD) to highly selective diversion (HSD) after TME surgery for rectal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients having TME with primary anastomosis and HSD for low or mid rectal cancer between December 2014 and March 2017 were compared with a historical control group with RD in the preceding period since January 2011. HSD was introduced in conjunction with uptake of transanal TME. RESULTS In the RD group, 45/50 patients (90%) had a primary diverting stoma, and 3/40 patients (8%) in the HSD group. Anastomotic leakage occurred in 10 (20%) and three (8%) cases after a median follow-up of 36 and 19 months after RD and HSD, respectively. There was no postoperative mortality. An unintentional stoma beyond 1 year postoperative was present in six and two patients, respectively. One-year stoma-related readmission and reoperation rate (including reversal) after RD were 84% and 86%, respectively. Corresponding percentages were significantly lower after HSD (17% and 17%; P < 0.001). Total hospital stay within one year was median 11 days (IQR 8-19) versus 5 days (IQR 4-11), respectively (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION This single institutional comparative cohort study shows that highly selective defunctioning of a low anastomosis in rectal cancer patients did not adversely affect incidence or consequences of anastomotic leakage with a substantial decrease in 1-year readmission and reintervention rate, leading to an overall significantly reduced hospital stay.

Abstract
PURPOSE Diverting ileostomies help prevent major complications related to anastomoses after colorectal resection but can cause metabolic derangement and hypovolemia, leading to readmission. This paper aims to determine whether angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) use increased the risk of readmission, or readmission specifically for dehydration after new ileostomy creation. METHODS Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing diverting ileostomy at a tertiary-care hospital, 2009-2015. Primary outcome was 60-day readmission for dehydration; secondary outcomes included 60-day readmission for any cause, or for infection obstruction. RESULTS Ninety-nine patients underwent diverting ileostomy creation, 59% with a primary diagnosis of colorectal cancer. The 60-day readmission rate was 36% (n = 36). Of readmitted patients, 39% (n = 14) were admitted for dehydration. Other readmission reasons were infection (33%) and obstruction (3%). The majority (64%, n = 9) of patients readmitted for dehydration were taking either an ACEi or an ARB. Compared to patients not readmitted for dehydration, those who were readmitted for dehydration were more likely to be on an ACEi or an ARB (11/85, 13% vs. 9/14, 64%). After controlling for covariates, ACEi or ARB use was significantly associated with risk of readmission (p < 0.0001, odds ratio = 13.56, 95% confidence interval 3.54-51.92,). No other diuretic agent was statistically associated with readmission for dehydration. CONCLUSIONS ACEi and ARB use is a significant risk factor for readmission for dehydration following diverting ileostomy creation. Consideration should be given to withholding these medications after ileostomy creation to reduce this risk.

Abstract
PURPOSE Anastomotic leakage (AL) after stapled anastomosis in rectal cancer surgery is a major concern. Various types of intraoperative anastomotic air leakage tests (ALTs) have been proposed to reduce AL. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of intraoperative colonoscopy (IOC) as an intraoperative ALT in low anterior resection for rectal cancer. METHODS A total of 1266 patients were retrospectively reviewed. Among them, 215 patients who underwent IOC as an ALT in rectal cancer surgery were identified. IOC was performed after anastomosis to visualize the anastomosis line and to perform an ALT by insufflating the neorectum. Propensity score matching was used to match this group at a 1:1 ratio with 215 patients who underwent ALT with a 250-mL bulb irrigation syringe. Anastomotic defects that were found intraoperatively were resolved either by means of primary repair of the anastomotic defect, if possible, or by performing a preventive diverting ileostomy. RESULTS The patient characteristics, pathologic outcomes, and operation details showed no significant difference between the two groups. Comparison of the AL rate showed a significant difference between the groups (IOC group without intraoperative leaks vs. non-IOC group without intraoperative leaks 4.3 vs. 11.7%, P = 0.007). The incidence of preventive diverting ileostomy because of a positive ALT was significantly higher in the IOC group than in the non-IOC group (10 vs. 2 cases, P = 0.036). CONCLUSION IOC can be a valuable method for the assessment of stapled anastomosis and has the additional benefit of directly visualizing the anastomosis line.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diverting ileostomy is recommended in patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and low anterior resection for low-rectal cancer. Prior to ileostomy reversal, water-soluble enema is performed to assess the low colorectal anastomosis. The aim of this study was to assess whether performance of routine water-soluble enema prior to ileostomy takedown is necessary. MATERIALS AND METHODS All mid-low rectal cancer patients who underwent low anterior resection with temporary diverting ileostomy after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, between 2006 and 2013, were identified, retrospectively. The colorectal anastomosis prior to ileostomy takedown was evaluated by digital rectal exam, rigid proctoscopy, and water-soluble enema. The rectal exam and proctoscopy findings were compared to those of the water-soluble enema. The efficacy of routine water-soluble enema was assessed. RESULTS Three hundred and twelve (184 male) patients (mean age 62.2 ± 17 years) met the inclusion criteria. Ten patients (3 %) experienced a contained anastomotic leak in the early postoperative period, of whom six had a positive intraoperative air leak test at the index operation. At follow-up, 12 patients (4 %) presented with anastomotic stricture, which was diagnosed by rectal exam and proctoscopy. In 11 of them, water-soluble enema showed anastomotic stricture. In terms of anastomotic defects, sinus was documented in two patients (0.6 %), yet digital rectal exam and proctoscopy were normal. No late septic complications related to the colorectal anastomosis after ileostomy closure were reported. The sensitivity of rectal exam, and proctoscopy for the diagnosis of anastomotic stricture was 100 %, while its negative predictive value for the diagnosis of anastomotic defect was 99 %. CONCLUSION Routine water-soluble enema for the evaluation of colorectal anastomosis before ileostomy takedown does not provide additional information that changes patient management. The efficacy of this test in patients after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and low anterior resection should be reassessed.

Abstract
The anastomotic healing complications of postoperative leak and stricture continue to plague surgeons despite many broadly targeted interventions. Evaluation of preventive measure efficacy is difficult due to inconsistent definitions and reporting of these complications. Few interventions have been shown to impact rates of leakage or stricture. However, new evidence is emerging that the intestinal microbiota can play an important role in the development of anastomotic complications. A more holistic approach to understanding the mechanisms of anastomotic complications is needed in order to develop tailored interventions to reduce their frequency. Such an approach may require a more complete definition of the role of the microbiota in anastomotic healing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the use, as well as postoperative and long-term oncologic outcomes of diverting loop ileostomy (DI) during primary debulking surgery (PDS) for ovarian cancer. METHODS Patients with stage II-IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma who underwent colon resection during PDS from 1/2005-1/2014 were identified. Demographic and clinical data were analyzed. RESULTS Of 331 patients, 320 (97%) had stage III/IV disease and 278 (84%) had disease of high-grade serous histology. Forty-four (13%) underwent a DI. There were no significant differences in age, comorbidity index, smoking status, serum albumin, or attending surgeon between the DI and non-DI groups. Operative time (OR=1.21; 95% CI, 1.03-1.42; p=0.02) and length of rectosigmoid resection (OR=1.04; 95% CI, 1.01-1.08; p=0.02) were predictors of DI on multivariable analysis. The overall anastomotic leak rate was 6%. A comparison of groups (DI vs non-DI) showed no significant differences in major complications (30% vs 23%; p=0.41), anastomotic leak rate (5% vs 7%; p=0.60), hospital length of stay (10 vs 9days; p=0.25), readmission rate (23% vs 17%; p=0.33), or interval to postoperative chemotherapy (41 vs 40days; p=0.20), respectively. Ileostomy reversal was successful in 89% of patients. Median follow-up was 52.6months. There were no differences in median progression-free (17.9 vs 18.6months; p=0.88) and overall survival (48.7 vs 63.8months; p=0.25) between the groups. CONCLUSIONS In patients undergoing PDS, those with longer operative time and greater length of rectosigmoid resection more commonly underwent DI. DI does not appear to compromise postoperative outcomes or long-term survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The management and outcomes of patients receiving nonelective surgical treatment of acute complicated diverticulitis by surgeon specialization have received little attention. METHODS A retrospective review was performed of consecutive patients with acute complicated diverticulitis who underwent surgery from 2006 to 2013. Patients were analyzed based on surgeon specialty: general surgery (GS) or colorectal surgery (CRS). RESULTS One hundred fifteen patients met criteria for study; 62 patients in the CRS and 53 in the GS group. GS were more likely to perform Hartmann's procedures or primary anastomosis and less likely to perform primary anastomosis with diverting ileostomy than CRS. There were no differences between groups for any outcome measures on univariate analysis. CRS patients had shorter operative time (P = .001) and length of stay (P ≤ .001) for stoma reversal procedures. Surgeon specialization was not associated with morbidity, readmission, or length of stay on multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS Although surgical management differed significantly between CRS and GS, comparable outcomes were observed at the index hospital admission.

Abstract
We describe a case of cryptogenic repetitive severe colitis after ileostomy closure. A 50-year-old man was referred to our hospital for treatment of advanced rectal cancer. The patient underwent laparoscopic intersphincteric resection combined with synchronous partial liver resection for colorectal liver metastasis detected intraoperatively and construction of a diverting ileostomy. Ileostomy closure was performed 3 months later. Five days following ileostomy closure, the patient complained of lower abdominal pain and developed multiple daily fever episodes. Colonoscopy revealed multiple ulcers in the sigmoid colon and rectum. Because symptoms did not improve despite fasting and antibiotic therapy, ileostomy reconstruction was performed. Re-closure was performed 6 months after the previous ileostomy closure; however, severe colitis recurred with similar symptoms, and construction of a colostomy at the transverse colon was then performed. Despite varied examinations, the cause of the colitis was not identified. To our knowledge, there are no previous reports of repetitive severe colitis after ileostomy closure.
