Malone Antegrade Continence Enema in Patients with Perineal Colostomy After Rectal Resection

The efficacy and mechanism of positive psychological intervention on well-being for colostomy patients: a randomized controlled trial

AIMS

The positive psychology intervention (PPI) is an effective therapy designed to motivate individuals' positive quality and power, to help them survive in an adverse situation, and to establish a high-quality personal and social life. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and mechanism of PPI on the psychological capital, psychological distress, and life satisfaction among colostomy patients.

METHODS

Patients (n = 120) with permanent stomas were recruited and randomly assigned into two groups. Patients in the experimental group (n = 60) received standard care and PPI, whereas patients in the control group (n = 60) only received standard care. The psychological capital, psychological distress, and life satisfaction were measured and compared between two groups before the intervention, the immediate post-intervention, and follow-up.

RESULTS

All 120 patients completed the study. The hope, optimism, resilience, psychological distress, and life satisfaction score of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group at T1 and T2 (P < 0.05). Self-efficacy score of the experimental group had no significant difference at the two time points after the intervention than the control group (P > 0.05). Changes in hope and resilience which belong to psychological capital mediated the intervention's efficacy on changes in PPI on life satisfaction (β = 0.265, P = 0.005; β = 0.686, P = 0.002).

CONCLUSIONS

PPI could effectively improve psychological capital, psychological distress, and life satisfaction among patients with stomas. Besides, our findings add novel support that increased hope and resilience are the active ingredients that promote intervention change.

Oncologic and Functional Outcomes of Pelvic Perineal Reconstruction by Perineal Colostomy and Malone Procedure After Abdominoperineal Resection

BACKGROUND

Abdominoperineal resection is the standard curative surgical technique for locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the lower rectum and squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal after chemoradiotherapy. However, it requires a definitive abdominal colostomy that modifies the body appearance.

OBJECTIVE

The study aim was to evaluate the combination of abdominoperineal resection with perineal colostomy reconstruction and Malone antegrade continence enema.

DESIGN

This was a retrospective study.

SETTINGS

The study was conducted at the Toulouse Hospital Digestive Surgery Department.

PATIENTS

All of the patients with advanced adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma who underwent abdominoperineal resection with perineal colostomy reconstruction and Malone antegrade continence enema (n = 80) between December 1999 and December 2016 were included.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES

The main outcome was the 5-year overall survival rate.

RESULTS

The 5-year overall survival was 74.89% (95% CI, 62.91%-83.50%), and the median recurrence-free survival was 107.6 months (95% CI, 65.1-198.1 mo). The median follow-up was 91.0 months (95% CI, 70.4-116.6 mo). R0 resection was obtained in 64 patients (80.0%). The median Cleveland Clinic Incontinence Score (to assess the functional outcomes) was 9.0 (interquartile range, 1.0-18.0), and it was lower in patients with advanced adenocarcinoma than with squamous cell carcinoma (7.0 (interquartile range, 2.0-18.0) vs 11.0 (interquartile range, 1.0-17.0); p = 0.01). Eleven patients (13.8%) reported perineal stains during the night, and 19 patients (23.8%) needed drugs to reduce colon motility. The rate of severe complications (Clavien-Dindo >II) was 11.7% (n = 9). Definitive colostomy was performed in 15 patients (18.8%).

LIMITATIONS

This retrospective study included a small number of patients from a single center. Moreover, the functional outcome was tested with self-report questionnaires (risk of response bias).

CONCLUSIONS

This study suggests that abdominoperineal resection associated with perineal reconstruction by perineal colostomy and Malone antegrade continence enema is safe and may improve patient quality of life. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/B629.

RESULTADOS ONCOLGICOS Y FUNCIONALES DE LA RECONSTRUCCIN PLVIPERINEAL MEDIANTE COLOSTOMA PERINEAL Y PROCEDIMIENTO DE MALONE DESPUS DE LA RESECCIN ABDOMINOPERINEAL

ANTECEDENTES:La resección abdominoperineal es la técnica quirúrgica curativa estándar para el tratamiento del adenocarcinoma localmente avanzado del recto inferior y el carcinoma a células escamosas del canal anal, después de radio-quimioterapia. Sin embargo, requiere una colostomía abdominal definitiva que modifica la apariencia corporal.OBJETIVO:El propósito del presente estudio fue el evaluar la combinación de la resección abdominoperineal con la confección de una colostomía perineal asociada a enemas de continencia anterógrada según Malone.DISEÑO:Estudio retrospectivo.AJUSTES:Servicio de Cirugía Digestiva del Hospital de Toulouse, Francia.PACIENTES:Se incluyeron todos los pacientes con adenocarcinoma avanzado o carcinoma de células escamosas que se sometieron a resección abdominoperineal con la confección de una colostomía perineal asociada a enemas de continencia anterógrada según Malone (n = 80) entre diciembre de 1999 y diciembre de 2016.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:El principal resultado fue la tasa de sobrevida global a 5 años.RESULTADOS:La sobrevida global a 5 años fue de 74,89% (IC del 95%, 62,91 a 83,50) y la mediana de supervivencia libre de recurrencia fue de 107,6 meses (IC del 95%, 65,1 a 198,1). La mediana de seguimiento fue de 91,0 meses (IC del 95%, 70,4-116,6). La resección R0 se obtuvo en 64 pacientes (80,0%). La mediana de puntuación de la escala de incontinencia de la Cleveland Clinic (para evaluar los resultados funcionales) fue de 9,0 [1,0; 18,0], y fue menor en pacientes con adenocarcinoma avanzado que con carcinoma de células escamosas (7,0 [2,0; 18,0] versus 11,0 [1,0; 17,0]; p = 0,01). Once pacientes (13,8%) refirieron manchado perineal nocurno y 19 pacientes (23,8%) necesitaron fármacos para reducir la motilidad del colon. La tasa de complicaciones graves (Clavien-Dindo > II) fue del 11,7% (n = 9). Se realizó colostomía definitiva en 15 (18,8%) pacientes.LIMITACIONES:Este estudio retrospectivo incluyó un pequeño número de pacientes y de un solo centro. Además, el resultado funcional se probó con cuestionarios de autoinforme (riesgo de sesgo de respuesta).CONCLUSIONES:Este estudio sugiere que la resección abdominoperineal asociada con la confección de una colostomía perineal asociada a enemas de continencia anterógrada según Malone es segura y puede mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes.

The Effects of Continuous Care Model of Information-Based Hospital-Family Integration on Colostomy Patients: a Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this research was to examine the effects of continuous care model of information-based hospital-family integration on colostomy patients. Miles' operation is a major operative method for treating low rectal cancer, and this operation results in a permanent colostomy. It is difficult for patients to adapt to their colostomy. Previous studies have applied generally conventional nursing models to colostomy patients. This was a single-blind randomized controlled trial study. The sample of 155 patients who met the inclusion criteria was randomly assigned to either the experimental (n = 81) or control group (n = 74). The control group was provided with a routine standard of care. The experimental group was provided with an experimental treatment that consisted of an information-based (WeChat, blog, QQ, telephone, etc.) hospital-family integration continuous care model. Study variables were collected and instruments were selected as follows: basic information, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), a self-efficacy scale, a colostomy complication assessment table, a quality of life scale, and a table of the degree of satisfaction. No statistically significant differences were found in demographic information between the experimental and control groups. In comparison with the control group, subjects in the experimental group had less anxiety and could better cope with anxiety, had a better self-efficacy and quality of life scores, and had fewer complications. The patients in the experimental group were shown to be more satisfied with the care model. In addition, the most useful and popular service is the online social tools WeChat and QQ, because they can communicate with video, and they are more real-time, efficient, and cheap. The continuous care model of information-based hospital-family integration significantly strengthened patients' self-efficacy and confidence, which decreased colostomy complications, ultimately improving the quality of life.
