Results of application of the technique of the extraperitoneal closure of loop intestinal stoma

Abstract

The OBJECTIVE was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the original technique of extraperitoneal closure of a loop intestinal stoma.METHODS AND MATERIALS. A comparative analysis of the results of surgical treatment of 80 ostomy patients who underwent reconstructive and restorative interventions was carried out. The main group included 40 patients operated on according to the original method of extraperitoneal closure of the intestinal stoma. The control group consisted of 40 patients who underwent restoration of the intestinal tract continuity using a standard method with intra-abdominal access.RESULTS. The incidence of postoperative complications in the main and control groups was 10 % and 22.5 %, and the failure of the intestinal anastomosis was 5 % and 7.5 %, respectively (p>0.05). After applying the original technique, this complication in no case led to the development of peritonitis, and the closure of the intestinal fistula was achieved by local treatment. In two patients of the control group, anastomosis failure led to the development of peritonitis, which required relaparotomy with separation of the anastomosis and reformation of the stoma, which prevented the goal of hospitalization from being realized. In the main group restoration of intestinal continuity was achieved in all patients.CONCLUSION. The use of the original technique for extraperitoneal closure of loop intestinal stoma can reduce the incidence of complications, prevent the development of peritonitis in case of anastomosis failure, creating prerequisites for increasing the efficiency of the reconstructive and restorative stage of treatment.
