Stoma closure after complications

SUMMARYIn this retrospective study, we aimed to evaluate the factors affecting onmorbidity and mortality after stoma closure in patients who undergone stoma operationforsome reasons in our clinic.147 patients who had undergone stoma revision at Dicle University MedicalFaculty, General Surgery Clinic, between January 2001 and April 2006 wereretrospectively studied according to age, gender, reason for ostomia opening, ostomiatype , related diseases, postoperative complications, reasons of morbidity and mortality,average closure periods of ostomiae, incision and type of closure, differrences betweenileostomy and colostomy according to morbidity,hospitalization period.SPSS 12.0 for Windows (SPSS,Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) was used for dataanalysis. There were 147 patients in study, of these 104were men ( 70.4% ), 43 werewomen ( 29.26% ). Mean age was 43.54 ± 23.38. Most of the stoma procedures were inemergency conditions. The most common indications was intestinal perforation. Themost common related diseases were of cardiovascular system (n:30). We evaluatedmean closure period, closure incision and closure type in patients who had undergonestoma operation.The mean duration between construction and reverseal was 5.03 ± 2.50months. We performed 64 (43.53%) median and 83(56.47%) stoma incision. 26 stoma(17.68% ) with primary sutures and 121 stoma (82.32.%) were closed with anastomosis.We defined that, the most commonly seen complications after stoma closurewere wound infection, postoperative ileus and anastomosis leakage. The complicationrate after stoma closure was 55%. There was no difference between the cases withileostomies and colostomies according to complications during and after the stomaclosure operation. The hospitalization period was 10.42 ± 4.37. It was recognized thatthe age and related diseases were effective on morbidity and complications. Mortalityrate was 6.1%. Sepsis and cerebrosvascular embolia were the leading reasons.Stoma operation and its closure's morbidity and mortality are still considerable.For this reason, a surgeon should carefully decide the stoma operation because of it shigh mortality and morbidity rate especially in order patients with related diseases. Itshould always possible postoperative complications may be seen in closure period, too...36KAYNAKLAR1.
