The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the perioperative morbidity after anterior
resection with diverting loop ileostomy (LI) versus colostomy (LC) and its reversal for rectal …

Introduction Postoperative ileus (POI) is regarded as the most clinically significant morbidity
following loop ileostomy closure; however, its incidence remains poorly understood. Our …

Background After a low anterior resection, creating a defunctioning stoma is vital for
securing the anastomosis in low-lying rectal cancer patients receiving concurrent …

Background Stoma-reversal surgery is associated with high postoperative morbidity,
including wound complications and surgical-site infections (SSIs). This study aims to assess …

Results: One hundred patients were included, with 50 cases in each group. Postoperative
complications including laparostoma (6% vs. 2%; P= 0.307), wound infection (32% vs. 18%; …

Aim A diverting ileostomy is typically performed to divert intestinal contents in high‐risk
colorectal anastomoses. Ileostomy closure is associated with high rates of postoperative …

Introduction Diverting loop ileostomies are frequently created to divert the fecal stream in an
effort to protect downstream anastomoses. These are later reversed to restore intestinal …
