Ghost Ileostomy Group Versus no Stoma Group in Patients Undergoing Total Mesorectal Excision for Rectal Cancer: A Randomized Controlled Study

Overview

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.

Interventions

  • Procedure Ghost ileostomy
    Laparoscopic or robotic surgery with ghost ileostomy
  • Procedure No ileostomy
    Laparoscopic or robotic surgery with no ileostomy

Primary outcome measures

  • Calculation postoperative of the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) for each patient [Time frame: An 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 complications]
Secondary outcome measures (5)
  • Postoperative hospitalization days [Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year]
  • Readmission rates [Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year]
  • The number of hospitalizations [Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year]
  • First hospitalization costs [Time frame: During hospitalization,approximately 7 days]
  • Total hospitalization costs [Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Pathologically confirmed rectal cancer.
  • age ≥18 years and ≤80 years.
  • intraoperative ghost ileostomy or no stoma was performed.

Exclusion criteria

  • ASA score >3.
  • Patients with coexisting complete intestinal obstruction.
  • History of long-term use of immunosuppressive drugs or glucocorticoids.
  • Combined severe cardiac disease: with congestive heart failure or NYHA cardiac function ≥ grade 2.
  • Patients with a history of myocardial infarction or coronary artery surgery within 6 months before the procedure.
