Academic literature on the topic 'Ileostomy'

Background / objectiveTemporary loop ileostomies are usually performed in colorectal surgery after colectomies with ileoanal or coloanal or low colorectal anastomosis to prevent life-threatening complications associated with anastomotic leakage. However, stoma itself is not without adverse events. They are usually closed at 8 to 12 week, or sometimes even later after full course of adjuvant chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to review our experience with early loop ileostomy closure, during same hospitalization as initial surgery.Patients / methodsComplications and postoperative morbidity after early loop ileostomy closure were assessed retrospectively by reviewing the medical records. Out of the 12 patients, 6 were male and 6 – female, on an average 66 years old (range 29 to 85 years). Ileostomy was performed due to following reasons: 9 patients with rectal cancer after total mesorectal excision, one patient after low colorectal anastomosis due progression of ovarian cancer, one patient after resection of anastomosis and coloanal anastomosis due to stricture after previous partial TME for upper rectal cancer, one after coloanal anastomosis due to Hartman’s reversal procedure for previous rectal cancer. Anastomotic integrity was examined using proctography with water-soluble contrast before closure in all patients. The average time after initial surgery to loop ileostomy closure was 11 days.ResultsThere was no mortality. Overall complication rate was 33 percent (4 patients). One patient (8,3%) had a bowel obstruction, which resolved after conservative treatment. One patient (8.3%) developed enteric fistula to the ileostomy incision and wound infection was noted in two (16.6%).ConclusionsDespite of the fact that small number of patients was analyzed - high overall complication rate was observed. Nevertheless all complications were managed conservatively without reoperation. Early stoma closure is feasible in selected patients without anastomotic complications.Key words: colorectal resection, colorectal cancer, loop ileostomy, early closure.Ankstyvos ileostomos uždarymas: ar tai turėtų būti atliekama rutiniškai? Įvadas / tikslasLaikinos kilpinės ileostomos dažniausiai naudojamos kolorektalinėje chirurgijoje atliekant storosios žarnos operacijas su ileoanaline, koloanaline ar žema kolorektaline anastomoze. Jos suformuojamos siekant apsaugoti pacientus nuo gyvybiškai pavojingų komplikacijų, susijusių su anastomozės nesandarumu. Jos uždaromos dažniausiai 8–12-ą savaitę po suformavimo, o kartais dar vėliau – po viso adjuvantinės chemoterapijos kurso. Todėl dažnėja komplikacijų, susijusių su ileostoma. Šio tyrimo tikslas – apželgti mūsų patirtį atliekant ankstyvą ileostomos uždarymą tos pačios hospitalizacijos metu.Ligoniai ir metodaiRetrospektyviai ištirta medicininė dokumentacija po ankstyvo ileostomos uždarymo, galimos komplikacijos ir pooperacinis sergamumas. Iš viso buvo 12 pacientų, kurių amžiaus vidurkis 66 metai (nuo 29 iki 85 metų), 6 moterys ir 6 vyrai. Ileostomabuvo suformuota dėl šių priežasčių: 9 pacientams, sergantiems tiesiosios žarnos vėžiu, po totalinės mezorektalinės ekscizijos, vienai pacientei po žemos kolorektalinės anastomozės dėl progresuojančio kiaušidžių vėžio ir vienam pacientui po koloanalinės anastomozės atkuriant žarnyno vientisumą po Hartmano operacijos dėl tiesiosios žarnos vėžio. Anastomozės sandarumas prieš uždarymo operaciją buvo patikrintas visiems pacientams atliekant proktogramas su kontrastiniutirpalu. Vidutinis laikas po pirminės operacijos iki ileostomos uždarymo buvo 11 dienų.RezultataiMirtes atvejų nebuvo. Bendras komplikacijų dažnis buvo 33 procentai (4 pacientai). Vienam pacientui buvo žarnų nepraeinamumas (8,3 %), kuris buvo išgydytas konservatyviai. Vienam pacienui (8,3 %) susiformavo enterinė fistulė operacinio pjūviosrityje ir dviem pacientams buvo žaizdos infekcija (16,6 %).IšvadosNors tyrime dalyvavo nedaug pacientų, buvo pastebėta daug komplikacijų. Tačiau visos komplikacijos buvo išgydytos konservatyviai, be pakartotinės operacijos. Ansktyvas ileostomos uždarymas galimas atrinktiems pacientams, neturintiems anastomozės komplikacijų.Reikšminiai žodžiai: kolorektalinė rezekcija, kolorektalinis vėžys, kilpinė ileostoma, ankstyvas uždarymas.

OBJETIVO: exponer y describir una técnica de realimentación en niños con ileostomía que permite aumentar la curva de crecimiento y disminuir las dehiscencias anastomóticas y dermatitis posoperatoria.MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: estudio retrospectivo de serie de casos de pacientes con ileostomía tratados con la técnica de realimentación de estoma distal, previa a la restitución del tránsito intestinal, atendidos durante el año 2014. Se revisó el padecimiento que condicionó la derivación, la edad y peso al inicio de la realimentación, ganancia ponderal, duración de la realimentación, hallazgos macroscópicos en el cierre de ileostomía y repercusiones posoperatorias.RESULTADOS: se estudiaron siete pacientes, cuatro de ellos tuvieron atresia intestinal, uno sospecha de enfermedad de Hirschsprung, otro enterocolitis y otro sufrimiento intestinal postinvaginación. La realimentación se inició a una edad media de 5 meses de vida y peso medio de 4.4 kg. La ganancia ponderal fue de 0.7 kg al mes, en promedio, (rango 0.36-1.4 kg al mes). No se encontró desproporción entre los cabos. No hubo ninguna dehiscencia anastomótica ni dermatitis perianal posoperatoria. Luego del seguimiento durante dos años, seis pacientes tienen curva ponderal y talla normal para su edad.CONCLUSIONES: la realimentación es una técnica fácil, segura y barata que permite aumentar la ganancia ponderal del paciente, evitar la atrofia del segmento intestinal, disminuir la pérdida de líquidos y electrólitos y preparar el intestino distal para la futura anastomosis.PALABRAS CLAVE: realimentación; estoma; ileostomía; cierre de la ileostomía; atresia intestinal; intestino. Abstract OBJECTIVE: To present and describe a feedback technique in children with ileostomy that allows to increase the growth curve and decrease anastomotic dehiscence and postoperative dermatitis.MATERIAL AND METHODS: We present 7 patients with ileostomy, treated with the refeeding technique during 2014 in the ColorectalCenter. We review why the derivation was performed, the age and the weight when the refeeding was begun, the weight gained, how long the refeeding was carried out, the macroscopic findings during the ileostomy closure and the outcome.RESULTS: Four patients had intestinal atresia, 1 patient was suspected of Hirschsprung's disease, one had necrotizing enterocolitis and another had an intestinal intussusception with intestinal damage. The refeeding was begun at 5 months old on average and with 4.4kg on average. The weight gain was 0.7kg per month on average (range 0.36- 1.4kg per month). We found no disproportion between the bowel segments. There was neither anastomotic dehiscence nor postoperative perianal dermatitis. After 2 years of follow-up, 6 patients have normal weight curve and normal height curve for their age.CONCLUSIONS: The refeeding is an easy, safe and inexpensive technique to increase the patient weight gain, to prevent the atrophy of the intestinal segment, to reduce fluid and electrolyte loss and to prepare the bowel for the future intestinal anastomosis.KEY WORDS: refeeding; stoma; intestinal; ileostomy; ileostomy closure; intestinal atresia, bowel.

Previous literature pertaining to complications following ileostomy closure and possible risk factors associated with ileostomy closure have been seen derived largely from developed countries. South Africa has its own unique patient population dynamics with regards to the colorectal disease burden including the, time and age at presentation, genetic variability, access to health care facilities, financial security, varying levels of social security and differences in sociocultural health seeking behaviour patterns. It would therefore be interesting to evaluate whether the type of complications seen at a tertiary teaching hospital in South Africa are comparable to that seen worldwide. Aim: To determine the complication rate after an ileostomy closure at Groote Schuur Hospital (GSH) between January 2008 and December 2012.

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze various aspects of quality of life and to determine if there is a difference in quality of life offered by a conventional ileostomy versus a continent ileostomy. An instrument was developed to measure several factors thought to influence quality of life as well as several structural/demographic variables. This instrument was designed for persons with a conventional ileostomy and was modified for persons who had undergone conversion surgery from conventional to continent ileostomy. Analysis of variance was performed to determine differences in quality of life for persons with a conventional, conversion, or original continent ileostomy. In addition to an overall quality of life measure, measures for specific areas: self esteem, family relationships, marriage relationships and a composite measure, were tested. No difference was detected for the three types of ileostomy for these variables. Analysis of variance was also performed on variables measuring specific aspects of life such as social activities and travel. This identified several differences in the ileostomy types which the analysis of the more general variables failed to detect. Those who had conversion surgery from conventional to continent ileostomies answered each question twice, comparing life with no ileostomy to life with a conventional, then comparing life with a conventional ileostomy to life with a continent. Three analyses were performed on the resulting data: sign test, chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test. The use of these three tests showed differences in results concerning quality of life and differences in the statistical power of the tests. Both aspects are discussed. Significant improvement in quality of life for almost every aspect tested was seen for this group. Finally, principal component analysis was applied to the set of variables measuring specific aspects of quality of life and several new variables developed from the resulting factors. Analysis of variance was performed on these, as well as the original quality of life measures to determine which of the structural/demographic variables had an effect on quality of life.

Bakgrund: En stomi från tunntarmen benämns ileostomi och är ett resultat av ett kirurgiskt ingrepp där hela eller delar av tjocktarmen tagits bort. Att leva med en ileostomi kan både leda till fysisk och psykisk påverkan på patienter. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa patienters upplevelser av att leva med en ileostomi. Metod: En litteraturstudie har genomförts för att sammanställa aktuell forskning. Totalt har fyra kvalitativa och fyra kvantitativa artiklar inkluderats till resultatet och analyserats med en integrerad analys. Resultat: Resultatet presenteras i fyra kategorier: förändrad självbild, förändrade relationer till andra, komplikationer och behandling samt kontakten med sjukvården. En ileostomi kan ge en försämrad kroppsbild som påverkar patienters upplevelser av sig själva negativt. Osäkerhet uppstod inför att avslöja ileostomin för andra och då upplevde patienter påverkan på relationer. Komplikationer upplevdes försämra välbefinnandet. Sjukvården var viktig för patienters upplevelser av välbefinnande. Slutsats: Patienters upplevelser av att leva med en ileostomi varierar och kan vara både positiva och negativa. Kroppsbilden påverkas och patienter kan känna sig onaturliga. Patienter upplevde osäkerhet när sjuksköterskor visade avsky mot ileostomin, medan välbefinnande uppstod när sjuksköterskor var medkännande.
Background: A stoma from the small intestine is called an ileostomy and is a result of a surgical procedure where all or parts of the large intestine has been removed. Living with an ileostomy might entail physical and mental problems for the patient. Aim: The aim was to illuminate patients experiences of living with an ileostomy. Method: A literature study has been conducted to compile current research. In total, four qualitative and four quantitative articles have been included in the results and analyzed with integrated analysis Results: The result is presented in four categories: changed selfimage, changed relationships with others, complications and treatment, contact with healthcare. An ileostomy can cause a deteriorated body image that adversely affects the patient's experiences. Uncertainty arose in order to reveal the ileostomy to others and then patients experienced the impact on relationships. Complications of the ileostomy was found to impair well-beeing. Healthcare was important for patients' experiences of well-being. Conclusion: Patients' experiences of living with an ileostomy vary and may be both positive and negative. The body image is affected and patients may feel unnatural. Patients experienced insecurity when nurses showed disgust towards their ileostomy, while well-beeing aroused when nurses were compassionate.

Introduktion: Vid en skada eller sjukdom i mag-tarmkanalen kan inläggning av stomi behövas. Genom kirurgi skapas en öppning mellan tarm och bukväggen och därmed skapar man en ny tömningsväg - en så kallad stomi. För att personer ska kunna axla tillvaron med en stomi krävs det att sjuksköterskan har adekvata kunskaper om stomiutrustning, stomivård, hur det är att leva med stomi och stomikomplikationer. Sjuksköterskans roll är att hjälpa och undervisa personer som är i en krissituation på grund av sjukdom och medicinsk behandling.   Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva personers upplevelse av att leva med stomi.   Metod: En beskrivande litteraturstudie som baseras på 11 vetenskapliga artiklar, varav åtta är kvalitativa och tre är kvantitativa.   Huvudresultat: Resultatet visade att stomiopererade upplevde en förändrad syn på sin kroppsbild, de hade komplikationer som läckage och okontrollerbara gasavgångar som upplevdes med skam och en förlust av kontroll. Detta upplevdes inverka på det sociala livet som påverkats drastiskt och bidrog till att många isolerade sig under den första perioden efter stomikirurgin, medan andra upplevde det som en positiv förändring som skapat en stabilare vardag och ett socialare liv. Det upplevdes en oro för hur den förändrade kroppen skulle påverka eventuella partners. Bristen på information upplevdes påverka egenvårdshanteringen när de senare återgick till hemmet. Kost och aktiviteter upplevdes förändras efter de fått stomin.   Slutsats: Att få en stomi upplevdes som en stor förändring i varje persons liv. De påverkades på många olika sätt och det blev för många en upplevelse av begränsning i kroppsuppfattning, sexualitet, egenvård och socialt. Ofta upplevdes rädsla, oro och skam. Studier visar att stöd, information och kunskap underlättar för personer att anpassa sig till livet med stomi. Sjuksköterskan kan i sin yrkesprofession genom att ha kunskap om detta, bemöta dessa personer med en bättre förståelse för hur upplevelsen av att leva med stomi hanteras.

Flavonoids and phenolic compounds (aka polyphenols) are phytochemicals, thought to participate in plant development and defence mechanisms. Polyphenols are ubiquitous plant secondary metabolites, and are usually found conjugated as glycosides or esters. These compounds have been of particular interest as part of the human diet, and have been the focus os many studies in nutrition research. Many epidemological studies have found a correlation between flavonoid intake and protection against certain chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular events. The mechanisms underlying such benefits, however, remain to be unveiled, as judged by the number of in vitro and animal model intervention studies. The primary property attributed to polyphenolic and phenolic compounds relates to their antioxidant activities. Outcome from in vitro studies have established the ability of polyphenols to scavenge radical species and bind to metal ions, thus preventing the damage caused by oxidative stress. Recent progress in the field has broadened the knowledge of how polyphenols exert their beneficial effects, which appears to depend on more than simply antioxidant activity. Indeed, polyphenols are thought to actively participate in the modulatory effects involved in signal transduction in cells, responsible for the regulation of genes, apoptosis and cell proliferation.

Na atualidade, a ileostomia em alça é indicada para a proteção de anastomoses colorretais baixas ou colo-anais ou para a proteção de anastomoses íleo-anais em intervenções cirúrgicas de proctocolectomia total com confecção de bolsa ileal no tratamento cirúrgico das doenças inflamatórias intestinais, polipose adenomatosa familiar, tumores colorretais, doença diverticular e trauma. Índices de complicações elevados observados têm posto em dúvida o uso ampliado desse tipo de estoma apoiando-se em dados da literatura que, além de controversos, são originários de estudos retrospectivos de casuísticas pequenas. Outrossim, os dados na literatura brasileira são escassos. Assim, realizou-se estudo retrospectivo sobre resultados imediatos do fechamento de ileostomia em alça no período compreendido entre de março de 1991 e março de 2001, no Serviço de Cirurgia do Cólon Reto e Ânus do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo. As variáveis consideradas foram ocorrência de complicações e o estado final do paciente (sem ileostomia ou não), correlacionadas com os dados do paciente, da doença que levou à confecção do estoma, dos tratamentos médicos e cirúrgicos anteriores e do próprio procedimento cirúrgico. Os testes estatísticos empregados foram o exato de Fisher para dados pontuais, o não paramétrico de Kruskal-Wallis para os dados temporais e, ao final, análise multivariada. O nível de significância foi de 95% (p<0,05). Foram estudados os prontuários de 131 doentes. Trinta e um apresentavam-se incompletos e, juntamente com três que foram submetidos a fechamento de ileostomia com anastomose mecânica, foram excluídos deste trabalho. A condição que motivou a ileostomia foi doença inflamatória em 73 casos (75,2%), neoplasia em 14,4%, polipose adenomatosa familial em 3% e outras doenças em 7,2%. O uso de corticóides foi assim distribuído: pacientes que nunca tomaram corticóide ?32 (32.9%), que faziam uso de corticóide há menos de 12 meses - quatro casos (4,1%), que faziam uso de corticóide há mais de 12 meses? 11 casos (11.3%), que fizeram uso de corticóide e que na época do fechamento da ileostomia usavam imunossupressor ou imunomodulador - nove casos (9,2%), pacientes que já tomaram corticóide e que interromperam o uso desta droga há menos de 12 meses - 31 (31.9%), e pacientes que já tomaram corticóde mas não faziam uso da droga há mais de 12 meses - 10 (10,3%). Na análise das somatórias das operações anteriores ao fechamento da ileostomia, houve a manipulação considerada menor em 65 casos (67%), e em 32 casos (32,9%) houve maior manipulação cirúrgica prévia ao fechamento da ileostomia. O período entre a confecção e o fechamento da ileostomia teve a mediana de 27 semanas (2 a 146 semanas). Cinqüenta e três pacientes sofreram preparo intestinal anterógrado pré-operatório (54,6%), quarenta não foram submetidos a nenhum tipo de preparo intestinal (41,2%), e quatro pacientes (4,1%) receberam preparo intestinal retrógrado Empregaram-se antibióticos em 91 dos casos (93,8%), dos quais 63 (64,9%) usaram-nos por curto período e 28 casos (28,8%) tiveram seus antibióticos usados.por mais tempo. Detalhes técnicos operatórios estudados compreenderam: 1) graduação do cirurgião, com 77 casos (79,3%) operados por cirurgiões experientes, dez pacientes (10,3%) operados por cirurgiões com pós-graduação concluída no nível de mestrado, e dez (10,3%) operados por equipe formada por médicos residentes e preceptores; 2) acesso cirúrgico por incisão periestomal (93 casos? 95,8%) ou laparotomia longitudinal (quatro casos- 4,1%); 3) ressecção do segmento ileal exteriorizado (nove casos- 9,2%) ou não (88 casos- 90.7%); 4) sutura intestinal contínua (78 casos- 80,4%) ou em pontos separados (19 indivíduos- 19,5%); 5) em um plano (setenta casos- 72,1%) ou dois planos (27 casos- 27,9%); 6) o tipo de fechamento da aponeurose da parede abdominal com sutura contínua empregada em 55 casos (56,7%) e sutura em pontos separados em 42 casos (43,2%). O índice de complicações gerais foi de 40,2% - 39 casos - (29,8% de resolução clínica e 10,3% cirúrgica). A mediana do período de internação dos pacientes foi de 12 dias. Ocorreram cinco casos de deiscência ou abscesso de parede abdominal, três casos de deiscência de anastomose intestinal, um de abscesso intracavitário (drenado cirurgicamente), um de fístula estercorácea, um de estenose da anastomose íleo-anal detectada no pós-operatório, um de insuficiência renal aguda, e um último apresentou vômitos persistentes. Não houve influência do sexo, da faixa etária, da doença que originou o estoma, da manipulação cirúrgica prévia, do emprego do preparo intestinal ou não e os aspectos técnicos operatórios nos índices de complicações. O uso de sutura contínua, apesar de reduzir o tempo cirúrgico (p=0,02), esteve associado a complicações (p=0,04). Por outro lado, o fechamento da aponeurose com sutura contínua, além de reduzir o tempo operatório (p=0,002), foi associada à menor índice de complicações (p=0,002). A realimentação nas primeiras 48 horas de pós-operatório associou-se a maior índice de complicações (p=0,054). O uso crônico de corticóides correlacionou-se com menor proporção de obstrução intestinal (p=0,04). Antibióticos em uso prolongado foram mais relacionados com as complicações (p=0,0001). A análise multivariada (regressão logística) verificou a relação em proporção direta entre o período desde a confecção até o fechamento da ileostomia e a ocorrência de complicações (odds ratio=1,02) e o modo do uso de antibióticos (odds ratio=30,36 para uso prolongado). Do exposto, concluiu-se que a doença e o porte da intervenção cirúrgica que levou à realização de ileostomia em alça não tiveram influência significativa no índice de complicações; que o uso crônico de corticóides gerou menor índice de ocorrência de obstrução intestinal; que o preparo intestinal para o fechamento de ileostomia pôde ser dispensado; que a sutura intestinal contínua associou-se a maior número de complicações; que a experiência do cirurgião responsável pelo fechamento da ileostomia não determinou maior número de complicações; que o tempo decorrido entre a confecção e o fechamento da ileostomia acrescentou maior risco de complicações a cada semana, e que a decisão do cirurgião quanto ao uso prolongado de antibióticos foi correlacionada com maior ocorrência de complicações
Loop ileostomies have been commonly used for diversion of fecal stream, in order to protect low colorectal, coloanal or íleo-anal anastomosis performed for a variety of primary diseases such as colorectal cancer (CRC), inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), diverticular disease and trauma. However, high morbidity rates associated with this type of stoma have limited its wide spread use. This limitation is supported by controversial data, based mostly in retrospective studies with small number of patients. Moreover, national data on the subject is minimal. Therefore, a retrospective study was designed to determine immediate results of loop ileostomy closure in the period between March 1991 and March 2001, at the Colorectal Surgery Division of the Hospital das Clínicas University of São Paulo Medical School. Primary end-points included perioperative complication occurrence and final patient status (ileostomy-free or not). These events were correlated to patient demographic data, primary disease requiring loop ileostomy, previous medical treatment, previous operations and loop ileostomy closure characteristics. Statistical analysis was performed using Fisher\'s exact test for categorical variables, Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test for temporal variables and multivariate analysis. P values of 0.05 or less were considered significant. One hundred and thirty-one patient\'s records were reviewed. Thirty-one patients with unavailable hospital records and three patients managed by mechanical stapled ileostomy closure technique were excluded from the study. Primary disease requiring loop ileostomy construction was IBD in 75.2%, CRC in 14.4%, FAP in 3% and others in 7.2% of the cases. Steroid use was classified into patients that have never used - 32 cases (32.9%), patients that have used only within the last 12 months - 4 cases (4.1%), patients that have used for more than 12 months - 11 cases (11.3%), patients that have used but are now under immunosupressors or immunomodulators - 9 cases (9.2%), patients that have used but are currently off steroids for less than 12 months - 31 cases (31.9%) and patients that have used but are currently off steroids for more than 12 months - 10 cases (10.3%). Previous operations included 4-quadrant procedures in 65 cases (67%) and five or more quadrants (multiple procedures) in 32 cases (32.9%). Median interval between stoma creation and closure was 27 weeks (ranging from 2 to 146 weeks). Fifty-three patients underwent preoperative anterograde mechanical bowel preparation (54,6%), forty underwent no specific preoperative bowel preparation (41.2%) and 4 underwent retrograde mechanical bowel preparation (4.1%). Perioperative antibiotic administration was performed in 91 patients (93.8%). Short-term antibiotic use (less than or up to 72hs) occurred in 63 patients (64.9%) while long-term antibiotic use (more than 72hs) occurred in 28 cases (28.8%). Technical variables included: surgeon?s experience, being 77 cases managed by experienced surgeons (79.3%), 10 cases (10.3%) by surgeons with intermediate experience (post-graduate level) and 10 cases by colorectal surgery residents or fellows (10.3%); access strategy including peri-stomal incision in 93 cases (95.8%) and longitudinal mid-line laparotomy in 4 cases (4.1%); resection of an ileal segment in 9 cases (9.2%) or non-resection in 88 cases (90.7%); continuous intestinal suture line in 78 cases (80.4%) or interrupted suture in 19 cases (19.5%); single suture layer in 70 cases (72.1%) or two-layer suture in 27 cases (27.9%); and type of primary aponeurotic layer closure, being continuous suture in 55 cases (56.7%) and interrupted suture in 42 cases (43.2%). Overall complication rate was 40.2% (39 patients) requiring medical management in 29.8% and surgical management in 10.3% of the cases. Median hospital stay period was 12 days. Complications included wound dehiscence or abscess in five patients, intestinal suture dehiscence in three, an intraperitoneal abscess (surgically drained) in one, a stercoracic fistulae in one, an ileo-anal anastomosis stenosis in one, acute renal insufficiency in one and persistent emesis in one patient. There was no correlation between gender, age, primary disease, previous operations or bowel preparation and complication occurrence. Regarding technical characteristics, continuous intestinal suture was associated with shorter duration of surgery (p=0.02) and with higher rates of complication (p=0.04). On the other hand, continuous aponeurotic layer closure was associated with shorter duration of surgery (p=0.002) but also with decreased complication rates (p=0.002). Early oral food intake (first 48 hours from operation) was associated with higher complication rates (p=0.054). Chronic steroid use was associated with lower risk of post-operative small bowel obstruction (SBO) development (p=0.04). Long-term antibiotic administration was associated with increased complication rates (p=0.0001). Multivariate analysis (logistic regression) revealed a correlation in direct proportion between interval period (stoma creation-closure) and complication occurrence (odds ratio=1.02). Also, a same correlation was observed for antibiotic use pattern (long-term vs short-term) and complication occurrence (odds ratio=30.36 for long-term). In conclusion, primary disease or operation requiring loop ileostomy creation was not associated with complication occurrence; chronic steroid use may have a protective effect on post-operative SOB development; mechanical bowel preparation may be unnecessary; continuous intestinal suture was associated with higher complication rates; surgeon?s experience was not associated with complication occurrence; greater interval between ileostomy creation and closure is associated with increased risk of complication occurrence; and surgeon\'s intention to long-term use of antibiotics is also associated with increased complication rates

Ileal perforation peritonitis is a critical surgical emergency often encountered in developing countries, commonly associated with typhoid fever, tuberculosis, trauma, and non-specific enteritis. This case report presents a unique instance of nonspecific enteritis associated with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). A 16-year-old girl with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis presented with symptoms, leading to the diagnosis of ileal perforations and CML. Surgical intervention involved ileal resection and double barrel ileostomy. The postoperative course included complications and chemotherapy with imatinib, demonstrating the challenges and management strategies in such cases. The discussion emphasizes the varied aetiologies of non-traumatic ileal perforation in different regions and sheds light on the rare gastrointestinal manifestations of CML. Notably, this report underscores the significance of prompt imatinib therapy in controlling CML while highlighting the need for vigilant monitoring and dose adjustments due to chemotherapy-related adverse effects.
