Revisiting stapled and handsewn loop ileostomy closures: a large retrospective series
OBJECTIVE: To compare the surgical outcomes of stapled and handsewn closures in loop ileostomies. METHODS: The data of 225 patients requiring loop ileostomies from 2002 to 2007 were retrospectively evaluated. The patients underwent partial small-bowel resections and either handsewn or stapled anasto...

| Sumario: | OBJECTIVE: To compare the surgical outcomes of stapled and handsewn closures in loop ileostomies. METHODS: The data of 225 patients requiring loop ileostomies from 2002 to 2007 were retrospectively evaluated. The patients underwent partial small-bowel resections and either handsewn or stapled anastomoses for the ileostomy closures. They were followed up postoperatively with routine surgical examinations. RESULTS: The study group consisted of 124 men and 101 women with a mean age of 49.12 years. The ileostomy closure was performed with handsewn in 129 patients and with stapled in 96 patients. The mean time to the first postoperative flatus was 2.426 days in the handsewn group and 2.052 days in the stapled group (p |
