Creation of prestige ileostomy and when Release down: our observation

Abstract

background The benefits of ghost ileostomy (GI) in avoiding formal covering ileostomies in > 80% of cancer patients have been documented in numerous studies. However, none of the articles explained precisely how the GI tract was removed in the end in 80% of patients for whom formal maturation was not necessary. Goal To describe and evaluate the GIRD technique, including possible issues, hospital stays, and procedure times, for patients with GI for rectal carcinoma who underwent low anterior resection (LAR/uLAR) or ultra-low anterior resection (LAR/uLAR). Methods In this prospective cohort study, patients underwent restorative colorectal resection with GI for rectal cancer. Patients’ ease of GI release and any problems that might arise were then examined. Information was gathered, examined, and deduced. Results The final statistical analysis included 26 patients who required GIRD. Between the seventh and sixteenth postoperative days (POD), treatment was performed, all patients recovered well, and no additional surgeries were required. No further analgesics or injections of local anesthesia were required for any of the patients. The surgery took an average of five minutes, and none of the patients experienced any notable difficulties with GI release. No post-procedural issues emerged. Conclusion Without the need for anesthesia or additional analgesics, the GIRD approach is a rapid, easy, and safe operation that can be performed at the patient's bedside around the tenth POD.
