Abstract BackgroundOne of the most severe complications of low anterior resection is anastomotic leakage (AL). The creation of a loop ileostomy (LI) reduces the frequency of AL requiring surgical intervention, but up to one-third of temporary stomas may never be closed.The first aim of the study is to perform a retrospective assessment of the impact of LI on the risk of permanent stoma (PS) and symptomatic AL. The second aim of the study is to assess preoperative PS risk factors in patients with LI.MethodsA total of 286 consecutive patients who underwent low anterior resection were subjected to retrospective analysis. In 101 (35.3%) patients, diverting LI was performed due to low anastomosis, while in the remaining 185 (64.7%) patients, no ileostomy was performed. LIs were reversed after adjuvant treatment. Analyses of the effect of LI on symptomatic AL and PS were performed. Among the potential risk factors for PS, clinical factors and values ​​of selected peripheral blood parameters were analysed.ResultsPS occurred in 37.6% and 21.1% of the patients with LI and without LI, respectively (p <0.01). Symptomatic ALs were significantly more common in patients without LI. In this group, symptomatic ALs occurred in 23.8% of patients, while in the LI group, they occurred in 5% of patients (p <0.001). In the LI group, the only significant risk factor for PS in multivariate analysis was preoperative plasma fibrinogen concentration (OR = 1.008, 97.5% CI 1.003-1.014, p = 0.003).ConclusionsProtective LI significantly reduces the incidence of symptomatic AL, but a higher risk of PS is observed in this group of patients. The preoperative serum fibrinogen concentration is a risk factor for PS in LI patients and may be a helpful variable in decision models.
