Abstract Introduction Very preterm infants (VPIs) surgically treated for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) are at risk of growth retardation. The aim of this study was to demonstrate and compare growth during the first 6 years of life in VPIs with stoma after NEC surgery with VPIs without NEC surgery. Materials and Methods We included all VPIs surgically treated due to NEC at the Odense University Hospital from August 1, 2004, to July 31, 2008. Outcome on growth was compared with a group of VPIs without NEC. The VPIs with NEC were identified searching the local database using the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision diagnosis of NEC (DP77.9). Data on growth were collected from medical files and if not present, the parents reported the data. Results Nineteen VPIs, surgically treated due to NEC, survived to 6 years of age. Median gestational age was 283/7 weeks (245/7–313/7). Median age at NEC surgery and stoma formation was 2.3 weeks (0.1–6.3) and median age at stoma closure was 2.5 months corrected age (CA) (postmenstrual age 36 weeks to CA 6.7 months). Compared with the non-NEC group, VPIs with NEC and stoma demonstrated poor growth, especially in head circumference (HC) with no increase in growth velocity before the time of stoma closure between 2.5- and 3-month CAs. Conclusion Our findings demonstrate poor growth in VPIs after NEC surgery and improved HC growth after stoma closure.

Background. A substantial proportion of patients undergoing colorectal surgery receive a temporary stoma, and the timing for stoma closure remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of early stoma closure (ESC) compared with routine stoma closure (RSC) after colorectal surgery. Methods. We comprehensively searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials that compared ESC and RSC after colorectal surgery. Results. A total of 7 randomized controlled trials with 814 enrolled patients were identified for this meta-analysis. There were no significant differences between the ESC and RSC groups regarding the complications of stoma closure (26.8% and 16.6%, respectively; odds ratio [OR]: 1.30; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.89-1.90; P = .17). A subgroup analysis was conducted by Clavien-Dindo grade of complication, and no significant difference was observed in any subgroup ( P > .05). However, the ESC group had a significantly higher risk of wound complications than the RSC group (17.6% and 7.8%, respectively; OR: 2.61; 95% CI: 1.43-4.76; P = .002), and the RSC group had more cases of small bowel obstruction than the ESC group (3.1% and 8.4%, respectively; OR: 0.37; 95% CI: 0.15-0.87; P = .02). Conclusions. ESC is a safe and effective therapeutic approach in patients who have undergone colorectal surgery; it is associated with a reduced risk of bowel obstruction but a higher risk of wound complications.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To describe 2 cases of delayed endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) failure in 2 adult patients initially successfully treated for normal pressure hydrocephalus by ETV. The cause of ETV failure was stoma closure, and this was documented in both instances by direct endoscopic inspection. CLINICAL PRESENTATION In the first case, a 67-year-old woman presented with progressive gait disturbance, incontinence, and memory problems. Brain magnetic resonance imaging exhibited ventricular dilation, including the fourth ventricle, disproportionate to cortical atrophy. In the second case, a 55-year-old man presented with progressive gait disturbance, urinary incontinence, memory problems, and headaches. Brain magnetic resonance imaging exhibited communicating hydrocephalus. INTERVENTION The first patient underwent an ETV with subsequent improvement in all symptom areas. Three years and 2 months later, she experienced a return of original symptoms and ventricular dilation on brain computed tomography, compared with previous postoperative scans. Direct endoscopic inspection of the third ventricular floor revealed stoma closure secondary to fibrotic scar. The patient subsequently underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement that resulted in symptom improvement. The patient in the second case underwent an ETV that resulted in marked symptom improvement in all areas. Four years and 3 months later, he experienced a return of gait difficulties and headaches. Direct endoscopic inspection showed a lack of cerebrospinal fluid pulsations through the third ventricular stoma and dense arachnoid adhesions around the basilar artery. A repeat ETV was unsuccessful. Subsequent ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement resulted in symptom improvement. CONCLUSION ETV may provide an effective treatment for patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus, a form of communicating hydrocephalus. Stoma closure can be a mechanism of delayed ETV failure in normal pressure hydrocephalus, consistent with reports of ETV failure in pediatric obstructive hydrocephalus.

Abstract Background When considering “early stoma closure”, both standardized inclusion/exclusion criteria and standardized methods to assess anastomosis are necessary to reduce the risk of occult anastomotic leakage (AL). However, in the immediate postoperative period, neither have the incidence and risk factors of occult AL in patients with diverting stoma (DS) been clarified nor have methods to assess anastomosis been standardized. The aim of this study was to elucidate the incidence and risk factors of occult AL in patients who had undergone rectal resection with DS and to evaluate the significance of computed tomography (CT) following water-soluble contrast enema (CE) to detect occult anastomotic leakage. Methods This was a single institutional prospective observational study of patients who had undergone rectal resection with the selective use of DS between May and October 2019. Fifteen patients had undergone CE and CT to assess for AL on postoperative day (POD) 7, and CT was performed just after CE. Univariate analysis was performed to assess the relationship between preoperative variables and the incidence of occult AL on POD 7 Results The incidence of occult AL on postoperative day 7 was 6 of 15 (40%). Hand-sewn anastomosis, compared with stapled anastomosis, was a significant risk factor. Five more cases with occult AL that could not be detected with CE could be detected on CT following CE; CE alone had a 33% false-negative radiological result rate. Conclusions Hand-sewn anastomosis appeared to be a risk factor for occult AL, and CE alone had a high false-negative radiological result rate. When considering the introduction of early stoma closure, stapled anastomosis and CT following CE could be an appropriate inclusion criterion and preoperative examination, respectively.

Abstract Laparoscopic surgery is performed worldwide, even for cases of rectal cancer close to the anus, and advances in surgical instruments and techniques have increased the number of cases for which anastomosis can be performed, even those cases for which abdominoperineal resection was performed previously. Consequently, as a measure to avoid complications in the event of suture failure after surgery, the number of cases of establishing diverting stoma has also increased. Diverting ostomy may require a closure operation earlier than planned due to colostomy complications, cases requiring a long period of time until closure due to postoperative complications, and cases in which closure operation cannot be performed. Herein, we report cases that took more than 36 months to allow closure of the diverting stoma.
