Hsu CC, Tsai WS, Tsai TY, You JF, Yeh CY, Hsieh PS, Tang R, Huang SH. Predictors for temporary stomas non-closure among non-metastatic rectal cancer patients undergoing curative resection: a retrospective analysis. World J Surg Oncol 2024; 22:124. [PMID: 38715036 PMCID: PMC11075260 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-024-03403-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The primary treatment for non-metastatic rectal cancer is curative resection. However, sphincter-preserving surgery may lead to complications. This study aims to develop a predictive model for stoma non-closure in rectal cancer patients who underwent curative-intent low anterior resection. METHODS Consecutive patients diagnosed with non-metastatic rectal cancer between January 2005 and December 2017, who underwent low anterior resection, were retrospectively included in the Chang Gung Memorial Foundation Institutional Review Board. A comprehensive evaluation and analysis of potential risk factors linked to stoma non-closure were performed. RESULTS Out of 956 patients with temporary stomas, 10.3% (n = 103) experienced non-closure primarily due to cancer recurrence and anastomosis-related issues. Through multivariate analysis, several preoperative risk factors significantly associated with stoma non-closure were identified, including advanced age, anastomotic leakage, positive nodal status, high preoperative CEA levels, lower rectal cancer presence, margin involvement, and an eGFR below 30 mL/min/1.73m2. A risk assessment model achieved an AUC of 0.724, with a cutoff of 2.5, 84.5% sensitivity, and 51.4% specificity. Importantly, the non-closure rate could rise to 16.6% when more than two risk factors were present, starkly contrasting the 3.7% non-closure rate observed in cases with a risk score of 2 or below (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Prognostic risk factors associated with the non-closure of a temporary stoma include advanced age, symptomatic anastomotic leakage, nodal status, high CEA levels, margin involvement, and an eGFR below 30 mL/min/1.73m2. Hence, it is crucial for surgeons to evaluate these factors and provide patients with a comprehensive prognosis before undergoing surgical intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To further define the risk factors and incidence of non-closure stoma in patients with anterior resection of rectal cancer with temporary stoma. METHODS Records from five English databases and four Chinese databases. Odds ratios (OR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were used to indicate the risk of inclusion of risk factors. The non-closure stoma rate used the risk difference (RD) and 95 % CI. Risk factors were evaluated for quality of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE). RESULTS Risk factors of non-closure stoma in patients with anterior resection of rectal cancer with temporary stoma were Age ≥60 years[OR:1.57, 95%CI(1.44,1.72)], Tumor IV stage[OR:4.21, 95%CI(2.29,7.74)], American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA)≥3[OR:1.48, 95%CI(1.33,1.65)], Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy[OR:1.41, 95%CI(1.09,1.82)],Open surgery[OR:1.45, 95%CI(1.09,1.93)], Postoperative chemotherapy[OR:1.37, 95%CI(1.03,1.82)], Anastomotic leakage[OR:4.61, 95%CI(2.86, 7.44)], Local recurrence[OR:7.16, 95%CI(4.70, 10.91)]. The rate of non-closure stoma after anterior resection for rectal cancer was: 0.20, 95 % CI (0.17, 0.23). The quality of evidence for stage IV tumors and anastomotic leakage was moderate, and other risk factors were low to very low. CONCLUSIONS Risk factors of non-closure stoma in patients with anterior resection of rectal cancer with temporary stoma were Age≥60 years, Tumor IV stage, ASA≥3, Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, Open surgery, Postoperative chemotherapy, Anastomotic leakage, Local recurrence, and one in five anterior resection patients with a temporary stoma fails to close.

Abstract
Although the goal of rectal cancer treatment is to restore gastrointestinal continuity, some patients with rectal cancer develop a permanent stoma (PS) after sphincter-saving operations. Although many studies have identified the risk factors and causes of PS, few have precisely predicted the probability of PS formation before surgery. To validate whether an artificial intelligence model can accurately predict PS formation in patients with rectal cancer after sphincter-saving operations. Patients with rectal cancer who underwent a sphincter-saving operation at Taipei Medical University Hospital between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2021, were retrospectively included in this study. A machine learning technique was used to predict whether a PS would form after a sphincter-saving operation. We included 19 routinely available preoperative variables in the artificial intelligence analysis. To evaluate the efficiency of the model, 6 performance metrics were utilized: accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and area under the receiving operating characteristic curve. In our classification pipeline, the data were randomly divided into a training set (80% of the data) and a validation set (20% of the data). The artificial intelligence models were trained using the training dataset, and their performance was evaluated using the validation dataset. Synthetic minority oversampling was used to solve the data imbalance. A total of 428 patients were included, and the PS rate was 13.6% (58/428) in the training set. The logistic regression (LR), Gaussian Naïve Bayes (GNB), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), Gradient Boosting (GB), random forest, decision tree and light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) algorithms were employed. The accuracies of the logistic regression (LR), Gaussian Naïve Bayes (GNB), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), Gradient Boosting (GB), random forest (RF), decision tree (DT) and light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) models were 70%, 76%, 89%, 93%, 95%, 79% and 93%, respectively. The area under the receiving operating characteristic curve values were 0.79 for the LR model, 0.84 for the GNB, 0.95 for the XGB, 0.95 for the GB, 0.99 for the RF model, 0.79 for the DT model and 0.98 for the LightGBM model. The key predictors that were identified were the distance of the lesion from the anal verge, clinical N stage, age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, and preoperative albumin and carcinoembryonic antigen levels. Integration of artificial intelligence with available preoperative data can potentially predict stoma outcomes after sphincter-saving operations. Our model exhibited excellent predictive ability and can improve the process of obtaining informed consent.

Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to find out the potential risk factors for the formation of a permanent stoma (PS) for rectal cancer patients with a temporary stoma (TS) after surgery. Methods: PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched for eligible studies until November 14, 2022. The patients were divided into the PS group and the TS group. Odds ratio (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled up for describing dichotomous variables. Stata SE 16 was performed for data analysis. Results: After pooling up the data, a total of 14 studies involving 14,265 patients were included in this study. The outcomes showed that age (OR = 1.03, 95% CI = 0.96 to 1.10, I2 = 1.42%, P = .00 < .1), surgery type (P = .00 < .1), tumor stage (P = .00 < .1), preoperative chemoradiotherapy (P = .00 < .1), preoperative radiotherapy (P = .01 < .1), neoadjuvant therapy (P = .00 < .1), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score of ≥3 (P = .00 < .1), anastomotic leakage (P = .01 < .1), local recurrence (P = .00 < .1), and distant recurrence (P = .00 < .1) were associated with the patient with PS. However, sex (P = .15 > .1), previous abdominal surgery (P = .84 > .1), adjuvant chemotherapy (P = .87 > .1), and defunctioning stoma (P = .1) had little association with PS. Conclusion: Patients who were elderly, had advanced tumor stages, had a high ASA score, and underwent neoadjuvant therapy should be informed of the high risk of PS before surgery. Meanwhile, those who underwent rectal cancer surgery with a TS should beware of anastomotic leakage, local recurrences, and distant recurrences, which could increase the risk of PS.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed: (i) to assess the cumulative incidence of permanent stoma (PS) after sphincter-preserving surgery (SPS) for rectal cancer (RC): (ii) to analyze associated risk factors for primary and secondary PS; and (iii) to compare the long-term survival of patients according to the stoma state. Methods We conducted a retrospective single-center cohort study based on a prospectively maintained database of SRC patients undergoing SPS from January 2007 to December 2017. Incidence of both primary (no reversal of defunctioning stoma) and secondary (created after closure of defunctioning stoma) PS were investigated. Associations between potential risk factors and PS were analyzed using a logistic regression model. Cumulative survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method. Results Of the 257 eligible patients, 43 patients (16.7%) had a PS (16 primary PS and 27 secondary PS) after a median follow-up of 4.8 years. In multivariate analysis, the independent risk factors for primary PS were severe post-operative complications (OR 3.66; 95% CI, 1.19-11.20, p=0.022), and old age (OR 1.11; 95% CI 1.04-1.18, p=0.001) and those for secondary PS were local recurrence (OR 38.07; 95% CI 11.07-130.9, p<0.0001), anastomotic leakage (OR 7.01; 95% CI, 2.23-22.04, p=0.009), and severe post-operative complications (OR 3.67; 95% CI, 1.22-11.04, p=0.02), respectively. Both overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were significantly lower in patients with a PS compared with patients with SPS (p < 0.01). Conclusions This present study suggests that one out of 6 patients has a PS, 5 years after rectal resection with SPS for SRC.

Abstract
Objective The purpose of this study was to develop a machine learning model to identify preoperative and intraoperative high-risk factors and to predict the occurrence of permanent stoma in patients after total mesorectal excision (TME). Methods A total of 1,163 patients with rectal cancer were included in the study, including 142 patients with permanent stoma. We collected 24 characteristic variables, including patient demographic characteristics, basic medical history, preoperative examination characteristics, type of surgery, and intraoperative information. Four machine learning algorithms including extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM) and k-nearest neighbor algorithm (KNN) were applied to construct the model and evaluate the model using k-fold cross validation method, ROC curve, calibration curve, decision curve analysis (DCA) and external validation. Results The XGBoost algorithm showed the best performance among the four prediction models. The ROC curve results showed that XGBoost had a high predictive accuracy with an AUC value of 0.987 in the training set and 0.963 in the validation set. The k-fold cross-validation method was used for internal validation, and the XGBoost model was stable. The calibration curves showed high predictive power of the XGBoost model. DCA curves showed higher benefit rates for patients who received interventional treatment under the XGBoost model. The AUC value for the external validation set was 0.89, indicating that the XGBoost prediction model has good extrapolation. Conclusion The prediction model for permanent stoma in patients with rectal cancer derived from the XGBoost machine learning algorithm in this study has high prediction accuracy and clinical utility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to identify the risk factors for permanent stoma (PS) in patients who underwent sphincter-saving operations for rectal cancer. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 597 consecutive patients with rectal cancer from January 2012 to December 2020 at Taipei Medical University Hospital. Univariate and multivariable analyses were used to analyze risk factors for PS. RESULTS After a mean follow-up of 47.3 months (range 7-114 months), 59 patients (15.1%) were alive with a PS, including 46 patients who did not undergo reversal surgery and 13 patients who underwent stoma re-creation after reversal surgery. The mean period between primary surgery and stoma reversal was 6.0 months. Multivariate analysis revealed that the risk factors for PS were local recurrence [odd ratio (OR), 25.58; 95% confidence interval (CI), 4.428-147.761; p < 0.001], perirectal abscess [OR, 154.34; 95% CI, 15.806 - >999; p < 0.001], anastomosis site stenosis [OR, 187.081; 95% CI, 22.193 - >999; p < 0.001], perineural invasion [OR, 4.782; 95% CI, 1.22-18.736; p = 0.025], and operation time (min) [OR, 1.008; 95% CI, 1.002-1.014; p = 0.01]. CONCLUSIONS Local recurrence, perirectal abscess, anastomosis site stenosis, perineural invasion, and operation time were independent risk factors for PS. Therefore, before a patient undergoes surgery for rectal cancer, surgeons should consider the possibility of the need for a PS, and patients should be informed before the operation that closure of the temporary stoma may not always be possible.

Abstract
Objective. A continuing care bundle can achieve a better outcome than a single implementation after discharge. This study aims to investigate the effect of this intervention in elderly patients with rectal cancer after radical resection with a permanent stoma. Methods. Elderly patients diagnosed with rectal cancer underwent radical resection with permanent stoma, they were divided into the control group (n = 42) and bundle group (n = 42). The control group received the conventional care, and the bundle group received the continuing care bundle in addition to the conventional care. At 1- and 3-month after discharge, self-efficacy, self-care knowledge, ability to change stoma appliances, negative emotions, quality of life, and patient satisfaction were observed. Results. The increased levels of self-efficacy, self-care knowledge, and ability to change stoma appliances were displayed in the bundle group after discharge as compared with that in the control group, along with the enhanced score of SF-36 subscales, including physical function (PF), role physical (RP), global health (GH) and vitality (V), social function (SF), and mental health (MH). Furthermore, patients showed alleviated depression and anxiety after the continuing care bundle as compared to those after conventional care. Besides, the bundle groups had higher patient satisfaction than the control group. Conclusions. Continuing care bundle can serve as an effectiveness intervention in elderly rectal cancer patients after radical resection with permanent stoma via increasing self-efficacy and self-care knowledge, enhancing the ability to change stoma appliance, reliving the negative emotion, and improving quality of life and patient satisfaction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our clinical experience led us to raise questions about the validity of the reported risk factors and patient characteristics associated with permanent stomas after sphincter-preserving resection for rectal cancer. OBJECTIVE The present retrospective study aimed to identify and compare our center's incidence and risk factors for a permanent ostomy after low anterior resection (LAR) with a diverting stoma for locally advanced mid and low rectal cancer with those in published reports. PATIENTS A total of 239 patients underwent a sphincter-preserving procedure (LAR) for rectal cancer between 2000 and 2018, and 236 of them (age range 33-83 years, 100 males (42%)) were included in the analysis. The study cohort was divided into 2 groups comprised of patients with and without permanent stomas after rectal cancer surgery. RESULTS Only 25 of the 236 operated patients (10.6%) remained with permanent stomas after rectal cancer surgery. Factors associated with stoma non-closure in the multivariate analysis were pathological stage 3 (13 (52%) vs 51 (24.2%) for patients with closed stomas, p = 0.032), disease recurrence (14 (56%) vs 40 (18.9%), respectively, p = 0.048), length of stay > 10 days, p = 0.032), and anastomotic leaks with a Clavien-Dindo score > 2 or reoperations (6 (24%) vs 13 (6.1%), p = 0.019). CONCLUSIONS Sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer was associated with a lower incidence of stoma non-closure than published values. The major risk factors for non-closure were aggressive disease and severe complications of surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Our previously published clinical studies described the short-term outcomes of a newly developed intraluminal fecal diverting device (FDD). FDD was a safe and effective substitute for a defunctioning stoma. However, the long-term efficacy and safety of this device remain unknown. We investigated the long-term outcomes of the use of the FDD as a substitute for a defunctioning stoma. METHODS We examined the medical records of patients who participated in our two previous FDD clinical studies. The main outcome was the number of patients with bowel continuity for 2 years after undergoing the FDD procedure or defunctioning stoma creation. RESULTS Between May 2015 and July 2018, 85 patients were screened for inclusion in this study. Of those, 27 patients underwent a defunctioning ileostomy after proctectomy. The remaining 58 underwent the FDD procedure after proctectomy. Seventy-two patients (ileostomy group, n = 22; FDD group, n = 50) with a follow-up duration > 24 months were included in this analysis. The mean duration of fecal diversion was significantly shorter (p < 0.001) in the FDD group (3.1 [1.6-6.1] weeks) than in the ileostomy group (16.7 [10.0-31.6] weeks). However, the rate of permanent stoma creation was not statistically different between the two groups (ileostomy and FDD groups, 13.6% [3/22] and 10.0% [5/50], respectively; p = 0.693). CONCLUSIONS The FDD procedure is a feasible substitute for a defunctioning stoma after proctectomy. Multicenter large-scaled clinical studies are required to validate our results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stomas in colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors lead to body image problems. Advances in treatment help reduce the rate of stoma formation, but body image distress is still frequently experienced in CRC survivors. OBJECTIVES This review is aimed toward mapping and describing the state of knowledge regarding body image in patients with CRC. METHODS A systematic literature search complying with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines was conducted. Screening and data extraction were performed by 2 reviewers independently for all potentially eligible studies. RESULTS A total of 56 eligible articles were selected. The majority of these studies were quantitative studies (85%). The eligible studies were classified into 4 broad categories: instruments used to assess body image, prevalence of body image distress, factors related to body image, and impact of body image distress. The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-CR38) colorectal questionnaire was the most common measurement tool found among the reviewed studies (70%), and body image distress was reported by 25.5% to 86% of participants. Excluding gender, age, type of surgery, adjuvant therapy, time from diagnosis, social support, and stoma status, changes in bowel habits was identified as affecting the body image of patients with CRC. CONCLUSION Changing bowel habits emerged as a significant factor causing body image distress for CRC survivors. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Clinicians should raise awareness about body image distress in patients with CRC, focus on finding effective measures and interventions intended to help alleviate symptoms of bowel dysfunction, and prepare patients to adapt to altered bowel functions.

Outcomes on diverting ostomy formation and reversal after low anterior resection in the older more advanced rectal cancer patient. Eur J Surg Oncol 2021; 48:1414-1420. [PMID: 35000819 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2021.12.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2021] [Revised: 11/17/2021] [Accepted: 12/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To decrease morbidity caused by anastomotic leakages after a low anterior resection (LAR) with primary anastomosis, a diverting ostomy is often created. Reversal of a diverting ostomy is associated with morbidity, which may result in non-reversal, particularly in the elderly. This study aimed to describe the diverting ostomy-related outcomes in elderly patients with more advanced rectal cancer after LAR. MATERIALS AND METHODS All rectosigmoid and rectal cancer patients ≥70 years who underwent LAR with primary anastomosis between 2006 and 2019 in the Catharina Hospital (Eindhoven, The Netherlands) were included for analyses. Reversal rates, ostomy-related complications, morbidity and mortality after ostomy reversal, and definitive ostomy rates were evaluated. RESULTS In total 164 patients were included, of which 150 (91.5%) underwent primary or secondary ostomy creation. Ostomy-related complications were reported in 34.7% (95%-CI 27.1-42.9%). In total, 72.5% (95%-CI 64.2-79.7%) reversed their diverting ostomy. Non-reversal was mostly due to relapsing disease (52.6%). Median time to ostomy reversal was 3.2 months (IQR 2.3-5.0). No or minor complications after ostomy reversal were observed in 84.0% (95%-CI 75.3-90.6%). Over time, ostomy recreation was performed in 15.0% (95%-CI 8.6-23.5%), and ultimately 65.8% (95%-CI 57.8-73.2%) were ostomy-free after the median follow-up of 3.8 years. CONCLUSION Although most elderly successfully reversed their diverting ostomy after LAR with limited morbidity, attention should be paid for the risk of non-reversal and ostomy recreation over time. Preoperative patient counselling is important in every individual to be able to decide if LAR with primary anastomosis or a permanent end colostomy is preferred.

Long-term stoma-related reinterventions after anterior resection for rectal cancer with or without anastomosis: population data from the Dutch snapshot study. Tech Coloproctol 2021; 26:99-108. [PMID: 34837140 DOI: 10.1007/s10151-021-02543-3] [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: 06/15/2021] [Accepted: 10/24/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to analyze the stoma-related reinterventions, complications and readmissions after an anterior resection for rectal cancer, based on a cross-sectional nationwide cohort study with 3-year follow-up. METHODS Rectal cancer patients who underwent a resection with either a functional anastomosis, a defunctioned anastomosis, or Hartmann's procedure (HP) with an end colostomy in 2011 in 71 Dutch hospitals were included. The primary outcome was number of stoma-related reinterventions. RESULTS Of the 2095 patients with rectal cancer, 1400 patients received an anterior resection and were included in this study; 257 received an initially functional anastomosis, 741 a defunctioned anastomosis, and 402 patients a HP. Of the 1400 included patients, 62% were males, 38% were females and the mean age was 67 years (SD 11.1). Following a primary functional anastomosis, 48 (19%) patients received a secondary stoma. Stoma-related complications occurred in six (2%) patients, requiring reintervention in one (0.4%) case. In the defunctioned anastomosis group, stoma-related complications were present in 92 (12%) patients, and required reintervention in 23 (3%) patients, in 10 (1%) of these more than 1 year after initial resection. Stoma-related complications occurred in 92 (23%) patients after a HP, and required reintervention in 39 (10%) patients in 17 (4%) of cases more than 1 year after initial resection. The permanent stoma rate was 11% and 20%, in the functional anastomosis and the defuctioned anastomosis group, respectively. The end colostomy in the HP group was reversed in 4% of cases. CONCLUSIONS Construction of a stoma after resection for rectal cancer with preservation of the sphincter is accompanied with long-term stoma-related morbidity. Stoma complications are more frequent after a HP. Even after 1 year, a significant number of reinterventions are required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A permanent stoma after anterior resection for rectal cancer is common. Preoperative counselling could be improved by providing individualized accurate prediction modelling. METHODS Patients who underwent anterior resection between 2007 and 2015 were identified from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry. National Patient Registry data were added to determine presence of a stoma 2 years after surgery. A training set based on the years 2007-2013 was employed in an ensemble of prediction models. Judged by the area under the receiving operating characteristic curve (AUROC), data from the years 2014-2015 were used to evaluate the predictive ability of all models. The best performing model was subsequently implemented in typical clinical scenarios and in an online calculator to predict the permanent stoma risk. RESULTS Patients in the training set (n = 3512) and the test set (n = 1136) had similar permanent stoma rates (13.6 and 15.2 per cent). The logistic regression model with a forward/backward procedure was the most parsimonious among several similarly performing models (AUROC 0.67, 95 per cent c.i. 0.63 to 0.72). Key predictors included co-morbidity, local tumour category, presence of metastasis, neoadjuvant therapy, defunctioning stoma use, tumour height, and hospital volume; the interaction between age and metastasis was also predictive. CONCLUSION Using routinely available preoperative data, the stoma outcome at 2 years after anterior resection for rectal cancer can be predicted fairly accurately.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify the risk factors associated with non-closure of defunctioning stoma in patients with rectal cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective analysis included patients who underwent surgical treatment at the Ryzhikh National Medical Research Centre of Coloproctology for the period from March 2017 to August 2019. Inclusion criterion was anterior or low anterior resection followed by anastomosis and preventive stoma. Univariate and multivariate analysis enrolled 28 factors for identifying the risk factors of non-closure of defunctioning stoma. RESULTS There were 246 patients with rectal cancer. Intraoperative fluorescence angiography was applied in 145 cases to assess blood supply within the anastomosis and reduce the risk of anastomotic leakage. According to multivariate analysis, only two factors had significant influence on non-closure of preventive stoma - any grade of anastomotic leakage (OR 6.5; 95% CI 2.2-18.8, p=0.001) and rectal cancer stage IV (OR 7.2; 95% CI 1.9-27.6, p=0.004). CONCLUSION According to our data, permanent stoma is observed in 15% of patients.

A 15-year follow-up of a randomized trial. Colorectal Dis 2020; 22:2098-2104. [PMID: 32931137 DOI: 10.1111/codi.15364] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2020] [Revised: 08/24/2020] [Accepted: 08/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
AIM Low anterior resection of the rectum for cancer (LAR) entails a risk of symptomatic anastomotic leakage as well as impaired anorectal function, both of which may eventually result in the need for a permanent stoma (PS). The aim was to investigate the incidence of and risk factors for PS beyond 5 years following LAR. METHODS Patients undergoing LAR and included in a multicentre trial with randomization to defunctioning stoma or not were followed for a median of 15 years. The reasons for a PS up to 5 years (PS ≤ 5 years) and beyond 5 years (PS > 5 years) were identified and compared. Risk factors for PS were analysed. RESULTS Of all patients, 25% (57/232) had a PS. PS ≤ 5 years occurred in 19% (44/232) at a median of 12.5 months and PS > 5 years in 6% (13/232) at a median of 118 months following LAR. The main reason for PS ≤ 5 years was impaired anorectal function in 55% (24/44) and the main reason for PS > 5 years was pelvic sepsis related to the colorectal anastomosis in 46% (6/13). The major risk factor for PS was symptomatic anastomotic leakage, which occurred in 56% (32/57) of patients with PS and 10% (17/175) of patients without PS (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION One-fourth of the patients who ended up with a PS had it fashioned beyond 5 years at a median of 10 years following LAR. Symptomatic anastomotic leakage was the major risk factor for PS, and impaired anorectal function was the main overall reason for a PS.

Abstract
AIM Preoperative factors predictive of permanent stoma creation were investigated in a long-term follow-up of patients with mid or low rectal cancer. METHOD We included patients who underwent radical resection for mid or low rectal cancer with available data for preoperative anal function measured by manometry and Faecal Incontinence Severity Index questionnaire between January 2005 and December 2015 in three tertiary referral hospitals. A permanent stoma was defined as a stoma present until the patient's last follow-up visit or death. Preoperative factors that predicted permanent stoma creation were analysed. RESULTS Over a median follow-up of 57.4 months (range 12-143 months), a permanent stoma was created in 144/577 (25.0%) patients, including 89 (15.4%) who underwent abdominoperineal resection, one (0.2%) who underwent Hartmann's operation without reversal, 15 (2.6%) with a diverting ileostomy at the time of initial sphincter-preserving surgery without undergoing stoma reversal, and 39 (6.8%) who underwent permanent ileostomy formation after sphincter-preserving surgery. Patients with permanent stoma creation had a shorter tumour distance from the anal verge (P < 0.001), larger tumour size (P = 0.020) and higher preoperative Faecal Incontinence Severity Index score (P = 0.020). On multivariable analysis, tumour distance from the anal verge predicted permanent stoma formation (relative risk 0.53 per centimetre increase; 95% confidence interval 0.46-0.60; P < 0.001) but preoperative anal function did not. CONCLUSION Tumour distance from the anal verge was the only preoperative determinant of permanent stoma creation in rectal cancer patients. These data may help mid and low rectal cancer patients understand the need for permanent stoma.

Abstract
AIM The transanal approach to total mesorectal excision (TaTME) as an alternative to conventional anterior resection offers an improved view to otherwise restricted anatomical regions in obese and narrow male pelves and unfavourable tumour locations. Guidelines for the management of anastomotic leakage (AL) following low rectal resections are scarce. PATIENTS AND METHODS Prospectively collected data of all consecutive patients undergoing TaTME between December 2014 and April 2017 in our centre were analysed retrospectively. Existing classification systems for AL were modified with regard to transanal anastomotic-preserving management. RESULTS TaTME was performed in 66 patients with a median age of 56.2 years. The overall incidence of AL was 12.1% (n = 8). AL grading was differentiated in Grades I to V according to the severity of necrosis and abscess development. Two patients suffered from AL Grade II, one patient from Grade III, three patients from Grade IV and two patients from Grade V. Preservation of the anastomosis following AL was achieved by the damage control concept in six of eight patients (75%) with a median duration of hospital stay of 36 days. Two patients received a Hartmann procedure (Grades IV and V). CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that management of AL following TaTME is challenging but definitely amenable to strategies aimed at preserving the anastomosis by appropriate damage control. The modified classification system might serve as guidance for anastomosis-preserving management.

Long distance to hospital is not a risk factor for non-reversal of a defunctioning stoma. Int J Colorectal Dis 2019; 34:993-1000.

Abstract
PURPOSE To see if road distance to hospital influences stoma reversal rate, time from index operation to stoma reversal, and occurrence of permanent stoma. METHODS Data from all diagnosed cases of rectal cancer from three counties in northern Sweden were extracted from the Swedish Rectal Cancer Registry. The three counties are sparsely populated, with a population density roughly one fifth the average density in Sweden. Distances to nearest, operating, and largest hospital were obtained using Google Maps™. Matched data on socioeconomic variables were retrieved from Statistics Sweden. RESULTS In univariate logistic regression analysis, patients living closer to the operating hospital had a higher likelihood of non-reversal than those living farther away (OR 0.3; 95% CI 0.12-0.76). However, no difference was seen in the multivariate analysis. Of the 717 cases included, 54% received a permanent stoma and 38% a defunctioning stoma at index surgery. The reversal rate of a defunctioning stoma was 83%. At follow-up, 61% still had a stoma, 89% of these were permanent, and 11% non-reversed defunctioning stomas. Median time to stoma reversal was 287 days (82-1557 days). Of all 227 stoma reversals, 77% were done more than 6 months after index surgery. CONCLUSIONS Longer distance to hospital is not a risk factor for non-reversal of a defunctioning stoma. Only 23% had their defunctioning stoma reversed within 6 months after index surgery. Future studies aiming to determine reversal rate need to extend their follow-up time in order to receive accurate results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE to evaluate the factors associated with non-closure of protective ileostomy after anterior resection of the rectum with total mesorectum excision for rectal cancer, the morbidity associated with the closure of ileostomies and the rate of permanent ileostomy in patients with rectal adenocarcinoma. METHODS we conducted a retrospective study with 174 consecutive patients diagnosed with rectal tumors, of whom 92 underwent anterior resection of the rectum with coloanal or colorectal anastomosis and protective ileostomy, with curative intent. We carried out a multivariate analysis to determine the factors associated with definite permanence of the stoma, as well as studied the morbidity of patients who underwent bowel continuity restoration. RESULTS In the 84-month follow-up period, 54 of the 92 patients evaluated (58.7%) had the ileostomy closed and 38 (41.3%) remained with the stoma. Among the 62 patients who had the ileostomy closed, 11 (17.7%) presented some type of postoperative complication: three had ileal anastomosis dehiscence, five had intestinal obstruction, two had surgical wound infection, and one, pneumonia. Eight of these patients required a new stoma. CONCLUSION according to the multivariate analysis, the factors associated with stoma permanence were anastomotic fistula, presence of metastases and closure of the ileostomy during chemotherapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The safety and feasibility of laparoscopic reoperation for anastomotic leakage remain unclear. METHODS A total of 3321 patients underwent laparoscopic surgery for primary colorectal cancer at a tertiary referral center from September 2002 to May 2016. Of these, 31 patients who underwent reoperation for treatment of anastomotic leakage were enrolled in this study and divided into two reoperation groups: laparoscopic (n = 15) and open (n = 16). Data regarding patient demographics, operative outcomes, morbidity, length of hospital stay, mortality, and stoma closure after reoperation in the two groups were compared. RESULTS No significant difference was observed in the primary surgery procedure between the two groups. Estimated blood loss (1 vs 9 mL, P = 0.020), total postoperative complications (26.7% vs 68.8%, P = 0.032), wound infection (0.0% vs 31.2%, P = 0.043), and postoperative hospital stay (18 vs 31 days, P = 0.017) were significantly better in the laparoscopic group than in the open group. Although the rate of stoma closure after reoperation was higher in the laparoscopic group, the difference was not significant (86.7% vs 62.5%, P = 0.220). CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic reoperation exhibited better short-term outcomes than open reoperation for selected patients with anastomotic leakage.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sphincter-saving surgery is widely accepted operative modality to treat rectal cancer. It often requires temporary diverting stoma to avoid the complications of anastomotic failure. This study investigates the cumulative failure rate in sphincter preservation for rectal cancer and the risk factors associated with the permanent stoma. METHODS A retrospective study on 358 patients diagnosed with primary rectal cancer from 2009 to 2013 was conducted at a single institute. Three hundred and thirty-one out of 358 patients with rectal cancer located within 12 cm from the anal verge, who underwent sphincter-preserving surgery, were included in this study. The cumulative rate for permanent stoma was calculated. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed, comparing the patients with stoma to the ones without. RESULTS Temporary diverting stoma was created in 223 (82%) patients. After median follow-up of 42 months, 18 patients (6.6%) persistently used temporary stoma or required re-creation of stoma. Univariate analysis revealed that BMI, tumor location below 4 cm from the anal verge, coloanal anastomosis, anastomotic leakage, and local recurrence were significantly associated with persistent use or re-formation of stoma. Multivariate analysis showed that anastomotic leakage (OR 50.3; 95% CI, 10.1-250.1; p < 0.0001) and local recurrence (OR 11.3; 95% CI, 1.61-78.5; p = 0.015) were the independent risk factors. CONCLUSION Patients with anastomotic leakage and local recurrence are at high risk for permanent stoma. Not only should patients be fully informed of possible failure in sphincter preservation preoperatively, but also patient-oriented decision should be made on patient-tailored surgical plan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fashioning an ileostomy in the umbilicus and combining the trauma from extraction of colorectum with that from ileostomy should be less invasive and lead to improved cosmetic outcomes. However, there are only a few reports regarding umbilical ileostomy. METHODS We retrospectively collected data for 121 consecutive patients with rectal tumor who underwent elective laparoscopic rectal resection with diverting loop ileostomy between 2010 and 2015 at Osaka University Hospital, Japan. The safety and feasibility of umbilical diverting loop ileostomy and its influence on stoma care were investigated. RESULTS A total of 83 patients were included in this study; of these, 30 underwent umbilical diverting loop ileostomy and 53 underwent conventional diverting loop ileostomy, which was created in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen. The umbilical and conventional groups showed similar rates of postoperative and stoma-related complications (26.7 vs. 32.1%, p = 0.804 and 3.3 vs. 3.8%, p = 1.000, respectively). Level of parastomal dermatitis was evaluated by DET score at three time points (stoma self-management establishment, first outpatient review post-discharge, and just before stoma closure). DET scores at any time points did not differ significantly between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Umbilical diverting loop ileostomy is comparable to conventional ileostomy with regard to safety and feasibility. Our methods for umbilical ileostomy using the umbilical skin flap were less invasive and did not have a negative impact on stoma care and parastomal dermatitis. Umbilical ileostomy may be a promising alternative to conventional ileostomy in selected cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advances in surgical techniques and paradigm changes in rectal cancer treatment have led to a drastic decline in the abdominoperineal resection rate, and sphincter-preserving operation is possible in distal rectal cancer. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate the long-term incidence of permanent stoma after sphincter-preserving surgery for low rectal cancer and its corresponding risk factors. METHOD From 2000 to 2014, patients who underwent sphincter-preserving low anterior resection for low rectal cancer (within 5 cm from the anal verge) were included. The occurrence of permanent stoma over time and its risk factors were investigated by using a Cox proportional hazards regression model. RESULTS This study included 194 patients who underwent ultra-low anterior resection for distal rectal cancer, and the median follow-up period was 77 months for the surviving patients. Forty-six (23.7%) patients required a permanent stoma eventfully. Anastomotic-related complications and disease progression were the main reasons for permanent stoma. Clinical anastomotic leakage (HR 5.72; 95% CI 2.31-14.12; p < 0.001) and neoadjuvant chemoradiation (HR 2.34; 95% CI 1.12-4.90; p = 0.024) were predictors for permanent primary stoma. Local recurrence (HR 16.09; 95% CI 5.88-44.03; p < 0.001) and T4 disease (HR 11.28; 95% CI 2.99-42.49; p < 0.001) were predictors for permanent secondary stoma. The 5- and 10-year cumulative incidence for permanent stoma was 24.1 and 28.0%, respectively. CONCLUSION Advanced disease, prior chemoradiation, anastomotic leakage and local recurrence predispose patients to permanent stoma should be taken into consideration when contemplating sphincter-preserving surgery.

Abstract
The goal of the present study was to evaluate permanent stoma formation and defecation function in long-term follow up after surgery for low rectal cancer without a diverting stoma. Subjects were 275 patients who underwent sphincter-preserving surgery for low rectal cancer between 2000 and 2012. Clinical outcomes were evaluated and defecation function was assessed based on a questionnaire survey, using Wexner and modified fecal incontinence quality of life (mFIQL) scores. Incidence of anastomotic leakage was 21.8%, and surgery-related death as a result of anastomotic leakage occurred in one male patient. Median follow-up period was 4.9 years and permanent stoma formation rate was 16.7%. Anastomotic leakage was an independent predictor of permanent stoma formation (odds ratio [OR] 5.86, P<0.001). Age <65 years (OR 1.99, P=0.001) and male gender (OR 4.36, P=0.026) were independent predictors of anastomotic leakage. A permanent stoma was formed as a result of poor healing of anastomotic leakage in 29.6% of males, but in no females. Defecation function was surveyed in 27 and 116 patients with and without anastomotic leakage, respectively. These groups had no significant differences in median follow-up period (63.5 vs 63 months), Wexner scores (quartile) (6 (2.5-9) vs 6 (3-11)), and mFIQL scores (26.1 (4.8-64.2) vs 23.8 (5.9-60.7). Defecation function associated with anastomotic leakage showed no significant dependence on gender or resection procedure. Sphincter-preserving surgery without a diverting stoma may be indicated for females with low rectal cancer. In this procedure, male gender is a risk factor for anastomotic leakage and subsequent formation of a permanent stoma in one in three patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anastomotic leak after colorectal surgery increases postoperative mortality, cancer recurrence, permanent stoma formation, and poor bowel function. Anastomosis between the colon and rectum is a particularly high risk. Traditional management mandates laparotomy, disassembly of the anastomosis, and formation of an often-permanent stoma. After laparoscopic colorectal surgery it may be possible to manage anastomotic failure with laparoscopy, thus avoiding laparotomy. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of the laparoscopic management of failed low colorectal anastomoses. SETTING This was a single-institute case series. PATIENTS A total of 555 laparoscopic patients undergoing anterior resection with primary anastomosis within 10 cm of the anus in the period 2000-2012 were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Anastomotic failure, defined as any clinical or radiological demonstrable defect in the anastomosis; complications using the Clavien-Dindo system; mortality within 30 days; and patient demographics and risk factors, as defined by the Charlson index, were measured. RESULTS Leakage occurred in 44 (7.9%) of 555 patients, 16 patients with a diverting ileostomy and 28 with no diverting ileostomy. Leakage was more common in those with anastomoses <5 cm form the anus, male patients, and those with a colonic J-pouch and rectal cancer. Diverting ileostomy was not protective of anastomotic leakage. In those patients with anastomotic leakage and a primary diverting ileostomy, recourse to the peritoneal cavity was required in 4 of 16 patients versus 24 of 28 without a diverting ileostomy (p = 0.0002). In 74% of those cases, access to the peritoneal cavity was achieved through laparoscopy. Permanent stoma rates were very low, including 14 (2.5%) of 555 total patients or 8 (18.0%) of 44 patients with anastomotic leakage. Thirty-day mortality was rare (0.6%). LIMITATIONS This study was limited by the lack of a cohort of open cases for comparison. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic anterior resection is associated with low levels of complications, including anastomotic leak, postoperative mortality, and permanent stoma formation. Anastomotic leakage can be managed with laparoscopy in the majority of cases. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/A353.

Abstract
Anterior resection with primary anastomosis is the procedure of choice for patients with rectosigmoid cancers with good sphincter function. Surgeons may perform an associated diverting loop ileostomy (DLI) to minimize the likelihood and/or the severity of an anastomotic leak. To examine the morbidity of DLIs, we performed a review of a prospectively maintained database. Participants included all patients at the Massachusetts General Hospital who underwent anterior resection from January 2013 to July 2015 for rectosigmoid cancers and who subsequently underwent adjuvant chemotherapy. The primary outcome was time to start of adjuvant chemotherapy. Secondary outcomes included length of hospitalization, perioperative complications, and 60-day postoperative complications. Inclusion criteria were met in 57 patients and DLI was performed in 21 (37%). The DLI group had higher estimated blood loss (431.7 vs 192.1 mL, P = 0.03) and a longer operation time (3.7 vs 2.3 hours, P = 0.0007). The DLI group took over a week longer to start adjuvant chemotherapy than the non-DLI group (median time to chemo: 43 vs 34 days, P = 0.002). Postoperatively, DLI was associated with a longer hospitalization (6.7 vs 3.1 days, P = 0.0003), more perioperative complications (57.1% vs 13.9%, P = 0.0006), and more 60-day read-missions or emergency department visits (38.1% vs 5.6%, P = 0.002). Ostomies are associated with appreciable morbidity. In turn, they do not eliminate postoperative complications. Surgeons should closely consider ostomy morbidity in rectosigmoid resection and institute a proactive approach toward identification and prevention of complications.

Abstract
AIM A Snapshot study design eliminates changes in treatment and outcome over time. This population based Snapshot study aimed to determine current practice and outcome of rectal cancer treatment with published landmark randomized controlled trials as a benchmark. METHOD In this collaborative research project, the dataset of the Dutch Surgical Colorectal Audit was extended with additional treatment and long-term outcome data. All registered patients who underwent resection for rectal cancer in 2011 were eligible. Baseline characteristics and outcome were evaluated against the results of the Dutch TME trial and the COLOR II trial from which the original datasets were obtained. RESULTS A total of 71 hospitals participated, and data were completed for 2102 out of the potential 2633 patients (79.8%). Median follow-up was 41 (interquartile range 25-47) months. Overall circumferential resection margin (CRM) involvement was 9.3% in the Snapshot cohort and 18.5% in the Dutch TME trial. CRM positivity after laparoscopic resection was 7.8% in the Snapshot and 9.5% in the COLOR II trial. Three-year overall local recurrence rate in the Snapshot was 5.9%, with a disease-free survival of 67.1% and overall survival of 79.5%. Benchmarking with the randomized controlled trials revealed an overall favourable long-term outcome of the Snapshot cohort. CONCLUSION This study showed that current rectal cancer care in a large unselected Dutch population is of high quality, with less positive CRM since the TME trial and oncologically safe implementation of minimally invasive surgery after the COLOR II trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some patients receiving defunctioning stomas will never undergo stoma reversal, but it is difficult to preoperatively predict which patients will be affected. OBJECTIVE The aim of this meta-analysis was to identify the risk factors associated with nonclosure of temporary stomas after sphincter-preserving low anterior resection for rectal cancer. DATA SOURCES We performed a comprehensive search of the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central Library databases for all of the studies analyzing risk factors for nonclosure of defunctioning stomas. STUDY SELECTION We only included articles published in English in this meta-analysis. The inclusion criteria were as follows: 1) original article with extractable data, 2) studies including only defunctioning stomas created after low anterior resection for rectal cancer, 3) studies with nonclosure rather than delayed closure as the main end point, and 4) studies analyzing risk factors for nonclosure. INTERVENTION Defunctioning stomas were created after low anterior resection for rectal cancer. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Stoma nonclosure was the only end point, and it included nonclosure and permanent stoma creation after primary stoma closure. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to assess methodologic quality of the studies, and risk ratios and 95% CIs were used to assess risk factors. RESULTS Ten studies with 8568 patients were included. The nonclosure rate was 19% (95% CI, 13%-24%; p < 0.001; I= 96.2%). Three demographic factors were significantly associated with nonclosure: older age (risk ratio= 1.50 (95% CI, 1.12-2.02); p = 0.007; I= 39.3%), ASA score >2 (risk ratio = 1.66 (95% CI, 1.51-1.83); p < 0.001; I= 0%), and comorbidities (risk ratio = 1.58 (95% CI, 1.29-1.95); p < 0.001; I= 52.6%). Surgical complications (risk ratio = 1.89 (95% CI, 1.48-2.41); p < 0.001; I= 29.7%), postoperative anastomotic leakage (risk ratio = 3.39 (95% CI, 2.41-4.75); p < 0.001; I= 53.0%), stage IV tumor (risk ratio = 2.96 (95% CI, 1.73-5.09); p < 0.001; I= 88.1%), and local recurrence (risk ratio = 2.84 (95% CI, 2.11-3.83); p < 0.001; I= 6.8%) were strong clinical risk factors for nonclosure. Open surgery (risk ratio = 1.47 (95% CI, 1.01-2.15); p = 0.044; I= 63.6%) showed a borderline significant association with nonclosure. LIMITATIONS Data on some risk factors could not be pooled because of the low number of studies. There was conspicuous heterogeneity between the included studies, so the pooled data were not absolutely free of exaggeration or influence. CONCLUSIONS Older age, ASA score >2, comorbidities, open surgery, surgical complications, anastomotic leakage, stage IV tumor, and local recurrence are risk factors for nonclosure of defunctioning stomas after low anterior resection in patients with rectal cancer, whereas tumor height, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are not. Patients with these risk factors should be informed preoperatively of the possibility of nonreversal, and joint decision-making is preferred.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Evidence has shown that a positive resection margin (R1) is a key determinant of subsequent local recurrence and a poor prognostic factor in rectal cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes and prognosticators in patients with R1 resection of rectal cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective study of all patients operatively managed within our institution between April 2008 and April 2013 for rectal cancer. Baseline demographics and multiple outcome measures recorded. Overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and recurrence were the primary outcome measures. RESULTS Overall, there were 306 primary rectal cancers. Seventy-six percent were grade T3/4 tumours. OS was 30 months. R1 rate was 16 % (48 patients). Thirty-one patients underwent APR and 17 AR. In patients who responded to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), overall survival was 55 months, with no extramural venous invasion (EMV) seen in this cohort. In non-responders OS was 29 months, with EMV in 48 %. In patients who did not receive NAC, OS was 23 months, with EMV in 74 %. EMV is a strong predictor for poor survival following R1 (p = 0.001). We also found a correlation between number of positive nodes and OS/DFS (p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS In this small cohort of patients with R1 positive rectal cancers, response to NAC is the strongest predictor of poor overall and disease-free survival. In patients who respond to NAC, OS and DFS has been shown to be positive, with a reduced rate of EMV.

Eur J Surg Oncol 2016; 42:788-93. [PMID: 27132071 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2016.04.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2016] [Revised: 03/15/2016] [Accepted: 04/05/2016] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a severe complication after low anterior resection (LAR) in rectal cancer surgery. A diverting loop ileostomy has been reported to reduce early clinical AL and thereby decrease short-term morbidity. Less is known if long-term morbidity is affected by a loop ileostomy constructed at LAR. METHODS At Ersta Hospital, Sweden, 287 consecutive patients were operated on with LAR, 2002-2011. Follow-up time was 3 years after LAR. Due to a shift in routines, 15% were diverted at LAR, 2002-2006 and 91%, 2007-2011. Data on long-term morbidity and permanent stoma in patients with or without a diversion at primary surgery were compared. RESULTS During LAR, 139 patients were diverted (S+), 148 were not (S-). Total rate of AL, both early and late, was 26% in S+ and 30% in S-, p 0.25. Late AL (>30 days after LAR) was found in 6% and 15% were readmitted in the late postoperative period with no difference between the groups. Total length of hospital stay (30 days-3 years after LAR) was longer among S+ compared to S-, mean 7 vs. 4 days (p < 0.001). One out of six ended up with a permanent stoma (17% S+, 14% S-, p 0.47). Clinical AL was an independent risk factor and the most common cause for a permanent stoma in both groups. CONCLUSION A diverting loop ileostomy at LAR did not reduce long-term morbidity but was associated with a longer total length of hospital stay during a 3-year follow up.

Abstract
PURPOSE The adoption of the total mesorectum excision technique and circular stapler devices has enabled the performance of ultralow colorectal anastomosis in rectal cancer surgery. However, rupture of the anastomosis still usually leads to a permanent stoma. The aim of this study was to analyze the cumulative failure rate and risk factors associated with reversal of colorectal or coloanal anastomosis after sphincter-saving surgery for rectal cancer, using standardized surgical regimen with the routine use of covering stoma. Our secondary interest was the feasibilities of redo surgery after failure. METHODS This was a retrospective study with 579 consecutive rectal cancer patients operated on at Helsinki University Hospital, Helsinki, Finland during 2005-2011. Data were collected from patient records. After exclusions, 273 consecutive patients treated with a low anterior resection with a protective stoma were included. RESULTS In total, 23 out of 271 (8.5 %) of the colorectal/coloanal anastomoses were converted to a permanent stoma. In five patients (1.8 %), the covering stoma was not closed. The permanent stoma rate was thus 28 out of 271 (10.3 %). The risk factors associated with failure were the tumor distance from the anal verge (p = 0.03), coloanal anastomosis (p = 0.003), early anastomotic complication (p < 0.001), anastomotic fistula (p < 0.001), anal incontinence (p = 0.05), and local recurrence (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our standardized surgical regimen with a covering stoma in low anterior resection for rectal cancer resulted in a minor anastomosis failure rate and a low risk of permanent stoma.

Abstract
AIM We propose long-term -ostomy rate following laparoscopic rectal cancer resection must be included as an overall quality indicator of treatment in conjunction with frequently reported and readily available end points. METHOD A database was collated prospectively of consecutive rectal cancer resections over a 6-year period. Recorded data included pre-operative MRI (tumour stage and height from the anal-verge), as well as demographics, treatment, local recurrence rate, survival and -ostomy rate as the primary outcome measure. RESULTS 65 patients were identified and classified as low-rectal cancer if the tumour on MRI was < 6 cm from the anal verge or middle/upper-rectal cancer if between 6 and 15 cm from the anal-verge and below the peritoneal reflection. Permanent stoma rates including colostomies and non-reversed ileostomies were 31.7% for middle/upper rectal cancer; 62.5% for low-rectal cancer and an overall rate of 42.1% for all rectal cancers. For upper-rectal cancer the rates of local recurrence, predicted mortality, R0 resection and conversion were: 0%, 1.9%, 97.6% and 0% respectively. Corresponding figures for low-rectal cancer were: 4.2%, 2.7%, 95.8% and 0%. There were no significant differences for age, sex, predicted morbidity/mortality, survival, recurrence or leak rates between the groups. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery has a comparable permanent -ostomy rate to open rectal cancer surgery. We benchmark 31.7% as the permanent -ostomy rate for upper-rectal cancer and 62.5% for low-rectal cancer following laparoscopic resection, in the context of 96.9% R0 resection and 0% conversion rate in a consecutive series of patients.

Abstract
Background Temporary defunctioning ileostomy can reduce the consequences of anastomotic leak following low anterior resection. However, some patients never have their ileostomy reversed and in other cases the time to reversal of ileostomy can be delayed. The aim of this study was to identify the ileostomy closure rate following anterior resection, time to closure of ileostomy, reasons for delay in reversal and whether delay was associated with an increased complication rate. Methods Data were collected retrospectively on consecutive patients undergoing defunctioning ileostomy following anterior resection for rectal cancer, between January 2009 and August 2013. Data were collected on reversal of ileostomy rates, time to reversal, reasons for delayed reversal (defined as > 6 months) and complications following reversal. Results One hundred seventy patients were studied (median age 69 years, range 41 - 90 years), of whom 117 (69%) were male. One hundred twenty-seven (75%) patients had their ileostomies reversed. Median time to reversal was 6 months (range 1 - 42). In 63 patients who had delayed reversal, reasons were adjuvant chemotherapy (22, 35%), medical illness (14, 22%), anastomotic leak (9, 14%), and others (4, 7%). Postoperative complications occurred in 33 patients (26%). There was no postoperative mortality. Univariate analysis showed that delayed reversal was associated with an increased rate of complications and longer length of hospital stay following reversal (P < 0.05). Conclusions One in four defunctioning ileostomies are not closed following anterior resection in our unit. Of those that are closed, approximately 50% have delayed closure beyond 6 months which is associated with increased risk of complications following their ileostomy reversal.

Abstract
Purpose A loop ileostomy is used to protect an anastomosis after anal sphincter-preserving surgery, especially in patients with low rectal cancer, but little information is available concerning risk factors associated with a nonreversal ileostomy. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors of ileostomy nonreversibility after a sphincter-saving resection for rectal cancer. Methods Six hundred seventy-nine (679) patients with rectal cancer who underwent sphincter-preserving surgery between January 2004 and December 2011 were evaluated retrospectively. Of the 679, 135 (19.9%) underwent a defunctioning loop ileostomy of temporary intent, and these patients were divided into two groups, that is, a reversal group (RG, 112 patients) and a nonreversal group (NRG, 23 patients) according to the reversibility of the ileostomy. Results In 23 of the 135 rectal cancer patients (17.0%) that underwent a diverting ileostomy, stoma reversal was not possible for the following reasons; stage IV rectal cancer (11, 47.8%), poor tone of the anal sphincter (4, 17.4%), local recurrence (2, 8.7%), anastomotic leakage (1, 4.3%), radiation proctitis (1, 4.3%), and patient refusal (4, 17.4%). The independent risk factors of the nonreversal group were anastomotic leakage or fistula, stage IV cancer, local recurrence, and comorbidity. Conclusion Postoperative complications such as anastomotic leakage or fistula, advanced primary disease (stage IV), local recurrence and comorbidity were identified as risk factors of a nonreversal ileostomy. These factors should be considered when drafting prudential guidelines for ileostomy closure.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to identify risk factors influencing permanent stomas after low anterior resection with temporary stomas for rectal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 2528 consecutive rectal cancer patients who had undergone low anterior resection were retrospectively reviewed. Risk factors for permanent stomas were evaluated among these patients. RESULTS Among 2528 cases of rectal cancer, a total of 231 patients had a temporary diverting stoma. Among these cases, 217 (93.9%) received a stoma reversal. The median period between primary surgery and stoma reversal was 7.5 months. The temporary and permanent stoma groups consisted of 203 and 28 patients, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that independent risk factors for permanent stomas were anastomotic-related complications (p=0.001) and local recurrence (p=0.001). The 5-year overall survival for the temporary and permanent stoma groups were 87.0% and 70.5%, respectively (p<0.001). CONCLUSION Rectal cancer patients who have temporary stomas after low anterior resection with local recurrence and anastomotic-related complications may be at increased risk for permanent stoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic reintervention compared with open surgery in patients with anastomotic leakage after minimally invasive colorectal surgery. METHODS Between January 2008 and December 2012, 77 patients who required surgical reintervention for anastomotic leakage following minimally invasive colorectal surgery were included in this study. Data on the patients' demographics, operative management, morbidity, hospital stay, and mortality were analyzed for differences based on whether they received laparoscopic or open surgery. RESULTS Sixteen patients underwent open surgery following laparoscopy, and 61 patients received laparoscopic reintervention following laparoscopy. The conversion rate was 8.2 % (5/61). The median total hospital stay following reintervention was significantly shorter for laparoscopic surgery (16.0 days, range 9-117 days) than for open surgery (35.5 days, range 10-135 days, p < 0.001). The postoperative 30-day morbidity rate, including wound dehiscence (25.0 vs 3.3 %, p = 0.015) and intra-abdominal infection (31.3 vs 6.6 %, p = 0.016), was lower in the laparoscopic surgery group than in the open surgery group. The rate of stoma closure was lower in the open surgery group than in the laparoscopic surgery group (43.8 vs 80.5 %, p < 0.001). There was one in-hospital mortality in the open surgery group. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic reintervention for anastomotic leakage following minimally invasive colorectal surgery is associated with a shorter hospital stay, fewer postoperative complications, and a higher stoma closure rate than open surgery. Laparoscopic reintervention for anastomotic leakage is feasible and safe.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Changes in the treatment of rectal cancer during the past decades have led to an increase in sphincter preservation with a consecutive decline in abdominoperineal resection rates. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze the cumulative incidence of permanent stoma in patients undergoing sphincter-preserving resection of mid and low rectal cancer. DESIGN This study is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. SETTINGS This study was conducted at a tertiary referral cancer hospital. PATIENTS From 2003 to 2010, 125 patients with primary mid and low rectal cancer who underwent sphincter-preserving low anterior resection were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The occurrence of a permanent stoma over time was investigated by using a Cox proportional hazards regression model and competing-risk models, with death as a competing risk. The risk factors were assessed by computing HRs and a Cox proportional hazards regression. RESULTS After a median follow-up time of 61 months (range, 22-113), 15 of 125 patients ended up with a permanent stoma, accounting for a 5-year cumulative incidence of 6% (95% CI, 4%-11%). The reasons for obtaining a permanent stoma were anastomotic leakage (60%, 9/15), intractable fecal incontinence (27%, 4/15), and local recurrence (13%, 2/15). The Cox proportional hazards regression identified anastomotic leakage (HR, 6.10; 95% CI, 2.23-16.71; p = 0.0004) and coloanal anastomosis (HR, 4.31; 95% CI, 1.49-12.47; p = 0.007) as statistically significant risk factors. LIMITATIONS Because of the small number of events in this sample, further investigations with a larger number of patients are required. Fecal incontinence was assessed by patient self-reported data without the use of a validated score. CONCLUSION The 5-year cumulative incidence of a permanent stoma was 6%. Anastomotic leakage and coloanal anastomosis were identified as risk factors. These details should be considered before sphincter-preserving surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS This study assessed the timing of reversal of defunctioning stoma following low anterior resection of the rectum for cancer and risk factors for a defunctioning stoma becoming permanent in patients who were not reversed. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients who underwent low anterior resection with defunctioning stoma during a 12-year period were assessed with regard to timing of stoma reversal. Delayed reversal was defined as >4 months after low anterior resection. Patients with a defunctioning stoma that was never reversed were assessed regarding risk factors for permanent stoma. RESULTS A total of 134 patients were analyzed. Of 106 stoma reversals, 19% were reversed within 4 months of low anterior resection, while 81% were reversed later than 4 months. In 58% of these patients, the delay was to due to low medical priority given to this procedure. The other main reasons for delayed stoma reversal were nonsurgical complications (20%), symptomatic anastomotic leakage following low anterior resection (12%), and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy (10%). Of all patients, 21% (28/134) ended up with a permanent stoma. Risk factors for a defunctioning stoma becoming permanent were stage IV cancer (P < 0.001) and symptomatic anastomotic leakage following low anterior resection (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Four in five patients experienced a delayed stoma reversal, in a majority because of the low priority given to this surgical procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of obesity per se on the surgical strategy, ie, sphincter sacrifice (abdominoperineal resection) vs sphincter-preserving resection, outcomes, and long-term maintenance of intestinal continuity has been poorly studied in patients with mid and low rectal cancer. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes and long-term maintenance of intestinal continuity for obese and nonobese patients treated surgically for mid and low rectal cancers. DESIGN This is a retrospective cohort study from a prospectively collected database. SETTING The investigation took place in a high-volume specialized colorectal surgery department. PATIENTS All patients who underwent curative surgery for mid or low rectal adenocarcinoma at a single institution from 1976 to 2011 were identified. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m) and nonobese patients were matched 1:2 for age, sex, ASA class, location, and stage of tumor. Demographics, use of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, operative and perioperative outcomes, pathology, long-term outcomes including oncologic outcomes, and whether restoration of intestinal continuity was obtained were compared. RESULTS One hundred fifty-seven obese patients and 314 nonobese patients were included in the study. The groups were similar for matched characteristics. The use of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (p = 0.048) and anastomotic leak (p = 0.0003) rates were higher in obese patients. A similar proportion of nonobese and obese patients underwent sphincter-preserving resection (p > 0.99), and postoperative hospital stay (p = 0.23), 30-day postoperative reoperation (p = 0.83), mortality (p > 0.99), and readmissions (p = 0. 13) were similar. The obese and nonobese groups had similar overall (p = 0.61) and disease-free survival (p = 0.74) at a mean follow-up of 5 years for both groups. LIMITATIONS This study was limited by its retrospective and nonrandomized nature. CONCLUSION At a high-volume specialized colorectal unit, proctectomy can be performed in obese patients with similar long-term oncologic outcomes and ability to restore intestinal continuity in comparison with nonobese patients. Proctectomy in obese patients, however, is associated with an increased risk of anastomotic leak in comparison with nonobese patients.

Abstract
AIM The aim of the study was to compare patients with symptomatic anastomotic leakage following low anterior resection of the rectum (LAR) for cancer diagnosed during the initial hospital stay with those in whom leakage was diagnosed after hospital discharge. METHOD Forty-five patients undergoing LAR (n = 234) entered into a randomized multicentre trial (NCT 00636948), who developed symptomatic anastomotic leakage, were identified. A comparison was made between patients diagnosed during the initial hospital stay on median postoperative day 8 (early leakage, EL; n = 27) and patients diagnosed after hospital discharge at median postoperative day 22 (late leakage, LL; n = 18). Patient characteristics, operative details, postoperative course and anatomical localization of the leakage were analysed. RESULTS Leakage from the circular stapler line of an end-to-end anastomosis was more common in EL, while leakage from the stapler line of the efferent limb of the J-pouch or side-to-end anastomosis tended to be more frequent in LL (P = 0.057). Intra-operative blood loss (P = 0.006) and operation time (P = 0.071) were increased in EL compared with LL. On postoperative day 5, EL performed worse than LL with regard to temperature (P = 0.021), oral intake (P = 0.006) and recovery of bowel activity (P = 0.054). Anastomotic leakage was diagnosed most often by a rectal contrast study in EL and by CT scan in LL. The median initial hospital stay was 28 days for EL and 10 days for LL (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The present study has demonstrated that symptomatic anastomotic leakage can present before and after hospital discharge and raises the question of whether early and late leakage after LAR may be different entities.

Abstract
Elderly people represent almost all patients diagnosed with and treated for rectal cancer, and this trend is likely to become more apparent in the future. Surgical management and treatment decisions for this disease are becoming increasingly complex, but only a few reports deal specifically with older patients. In this systematic review, we provide an overview of published studies of outcomes after curative surgery for rectal cancer in elderly people (>70 years). We identified 48 studies providing information about postoperative results, survival, surgical approach, stoma formation, functional results, and quality of life after rectal resection for cancer. We found that advanced chronological age should not, by itself, exclude patients from curative rectal surgery or from other surgical options that are available for younger patients. Although overall survival is lower in elderly patients than in younger patients, cancer-specific survival does not decrease with age. However, the level of evidence for most studies was weak, emphasising the need for high-quality clinical trials for this population.
