Brief summary
In the case of intestinal failure with a high-output double enterostomy, the parenteral nutrition (PN) is the gold standard treatment until the surgical reestablishment of digestive continuity. PN has its own morbidity, and in the absence of expertise, the risks of infectious, mechanical, and metabolic complications are increased. Chyme reinfusion (CR) is an enteral nutritional technique which reestablishes the functional continuity of the anatomically present small bowel through an extracorporeal circulation of the chyme. In patients with intestinal failure with a temporary high-output double enterostomy, we hypothesize that CR, compared to PN will reduce post-operative complications after surgical reestablishment of digestive continuity, maintain the intestinal function including absorption, and reduce the complications during the transitional period pending the surgical reestablishment of digestive continuity.
Interventions
Chyme reinfusion (the experimental treatment) consists of continuously reinfusing the chyme collected from the proximal small bowel segment via the enterostomy, and into the diverted distal small bowel segment. It implies the use of the Entéromate™ pump.
Parenteral nutrition (the gold standard treatment) consists of electrolyte supplementation, hydration, and nutrition through a central venous catheter.

Exclusion criteria
* Expected duration of parenteral nutrition or chyme reinfusion less than 2 weeks * Refusal by the patient to have a mixed texture diet, * Chemotherapy or radiotherapy before the surgical reestablishment of digestive continuity, * Not drained intra-abdominal collection, * Fever, uncontrolled infection, or infection treated for less than 72 hours, * Shock of any cause, * Creatinine clearance ≤ 60 ml/min * Patients under guardianship.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The frequency of complications occurring in patients with a temporary high-output double enterostomy. | From the day which the patient no longer requires surgical care after the surgical placement of a temporary double enterostomy (Day 0) and up to 30 days after the reestablishment of digestive continuity (Month 4 (minus) - Month 9 (plus)) | The reestablishment of digestive continuity is possible between Month 3 and Month 8 (it is patient-dependent) The complications, and their severity, will be classed using the Dindo-Clavien classification. |
