Small bowel obstruction following low anterior resection: the impact of diversion ileostomy

Abstract: Small bowel obstruction following rectal cancer surgery occurred in 10.3% of patients. The majority of the obstruction was benign in nature. The presence of diversion ileostomy was associated with an increased incidence of early obstruction, and the use of loop ileostomy for proximal diversion should be further assessed.

“…SBO after diverting loop‐ileostomy also often occurs after rectal cancer surgery. The incidence of SBO after diverting loop‐ileostomy in rectal cancer surgery is at most 10% to 14%,19, 20, 21 whereas the incidence of SBO after UC surgery is higher in some reports (15‐24%) 22, 23, 24. These reported rates are similar to our survey results.…”

“…Our current study identified an EPSBO rate of 3.5% following colon cancer surgery, which correlates with the lower end of the reported range of 3.6-10.3% [4][5][6]. Our study differs from previous reports with regard to the homogeneity of our patient population (only colon cancer cases were included) and the exclusion of emergency surgery cases.…”

“…Emergency surgery has been confirmed as a risk factor for EPSBO in previous studies, including in nationwide research [7]. Other previous studies have also included patients who underwent surgery for rectal cancer [5] or inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease [6]. Crohn's disease may impart a severe inflammatory reaction in the small bowel and, therefore, imposes a higher risk for EPSBO [7].…”

“…As a result, we propose that the relationship between increased incidence of EPSBO in patients with construction of a diverting ileostomy is not only a reflection of a more challenging surgical procedure but that complications of the ileostomy itself also contributed to the development of EPSBO (Table 4). Similarly, Poon et al 23 determined that diverting ileostomy was associated with an increased incidence of early obstruction in patients with rectal cancer.…”
