Brief summary

This study aimed at comparing the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI), readmission rates, postoperative hospitalization days, duration of bearing the stoma (months), hospitalization costs, the number of hospitalizations with ghost ileostomy group versus no ileostomy group after total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer.

Detailed description

So far, there are no relevant reports on ghost ileostomy among the Asian population, and all studies are small sample studies.In the past decades, with the advent of circular stapling devices, many middle and low rectal cancers have chosen new sphincter-saving procedures (such as ISR and Ta TME). Nevertheless, when the incidence rate of AL remains high, is diverting ileostomy applicable? Is ghost ileostomy applicable to rectal cancer in the context of new surgical procedures such as pelvic floor reconstruction, perineal drainage, anastomotic reinforcement and robotic surgery? Is this delayed stoma safe and feasible with the increase of preoperative neoadjuvant therapy? Therefore, our study proposes to summarize the review of the complications of GI and no stoma to explore the safety and effectiveness of GI in clinical practice.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Calculation postoperative of the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) for each patientAn average of 1 year from the date of total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer until the date of when the patient's condition is stabilized without complicationsThe Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI)summarises all postoperative complications based on the established Clavien-Dindo classification (ranging from mild complications not leading to a deviation from the normal clinical course (grade I) up to postoperative death (grade V)) at an individual patient level according to their grade of severity.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Postoperative hospitalization daysThrough study completion, an average of 1 yearIf the ghost ileostomy group required bed rest or a second surgery for ileostomy due to complications or no stoma group required a second surgery due to complications, the number of days of hospitalization due to complications and/or reoperation since total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer was recorded.
Readmission ratesThrough study completion, an average of 1 yearPatients in the ghost ileostomy and no stoma groups who did not have a second surgery due to complications recorded the number of hospitalizations after total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer. If the ghost ileostomy and no stoma groups required bedside or secondary surgery for diverting ileostomy due to complications, record the number of hospitalizations due to complications and/or reoperation since the data of total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer.
The number of hospitalizationsThrough study completion, an average of 1 yearPatients in the ghost ileostomy and no stoma groups who did not have a second surgery due to complications recorded the number of hospitalizations after total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer. If the ghost ileostomy and no stoma groups required bedside or secondary surgery for diverting ileostomy due to complications, record the number of hospitalizations due to complications and/or reoperation since the data of total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer.
First hospitalization costsDuring hospitalization,approximately 7 daysPatient hospitalization costs for total mesorectal excision of rectal cancer.
Total hospitalization costsThrough study completion, an average of 1 yearPatients in the ghost ileostomy and no stoma groups who did not have a second surgery due to complications recorded the costs total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer, if the ghost ileostomy and no stoma groups required bedside or secondary surgery for diverting ileostomy due to complications and all patients in the diverting ileostomy group required reoperation for stoma reversal, record the costs due to complications and reoperation since the data of total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
The number of participants with ghost ileostomy converted to diverting ileostomyThrough study completion, an average of 1 yearThe ghost stoma required bedside or secondary surgery for diverting ileostomy due to complications.
The number of patients who required secondary abdominal surgery under general anesthesia due to complicationsThrough study completion, an average of 1 yearPatient undergoes second abdominal surgery for complications after first surgery
Ghost ileostomy remove timeDuring hospitalization,approximately 7 daysDuration of days from the date of total mesorectal excision of rectal cancer to ghost stoma removed.
The number of patients with complications after total mesorectal excision for rectal cancerThrough study completion, an average of 1 yearAbdominal abscess,Anastomotic bleeding,Pelvic infection,Surgical incision infection, Peritonitis,Interventional drainage ,ileostomy wounds/abscesses/edema/dermatitis/ ulcers,Parastomal hernia ,Stoma prolapse,Anastomotic separation/poor healing, Anastomotic stenosis,Anastomotic leakage,Bowel obstruction,Anastomotic bowel necrosis ,Wound dehiscence / bleeding / sinus tract / abscess/fat liquefaction,Acute kidney injury ,Dehydration/output \>1500 mL/day,Intestinal fistula,Incisional hernia .
Whether patients undergo terminal ostomy after total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer.Through study completion, an average of 1 yearHartmann's procedure or for example, abdominoperineal extirpation
