“…In addition, in our ERAS protocols, patients are discharged the next day after a 1-day diet after surgery. Other studies showed that ileostomy reversals had still a mean length of stay of 5 days [15][16][17]. It is important that patients are educated about the overall ERAS program and discharge criteria.…”

Purpose: As introduced, multimodal pain management bundle for ileostomy reversal may be considered to reduce postoperative pain and hospital stay. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical efficacy of perioperative multimodal pain bundle for ileostomy.Methods: Medical records of patients who underwent ileostomy reversal after rectal cancer surgery from April 2017 to March 2020 were analyzed. Sixty-seven patients received multimodal pain bundle protocol with ileostomy reversal (group A) and 41 patients underwent closure of ileostomy with conventional pain management (group B).Results: Baseline characteristics, including age, sex, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, diabetes mellitus, and smoking history, were not significantly different between the groups. The pain score on postoperative day 1 was significant lower in group A (visual analog scale, 2.6 ± 1.3 vs. 3.2 ± 1.2; P = 0.013). Overall consumption of opioid in group A was significant less than group B (9.7 ± 9.5 vs. 21.2 ± 8.8, P < 0.001). Hospital stay was significantly shorter in group A (2.3 ± 1.5 days vs. 4.1 ± 1.5 days, P < 0.001). There were no significant differences between the groups in postoperative complication rate.Conclusion: Multimodal pain protocol for ileostomy reversal could reduce postoperative pain, usage of opioid and hospital stay compared to conventional pain management.

“…It showed no difference in readmissions (moderate-grade evidence) or reoperations (very low-grade evidence) and lower nonoperative complications in the short-stay group (low-grade evidence). 32 However, it only included 4 observational studies, so its conclusions were based on low-quality evidence, reiterating the relevance and purpose of our RCT.…”

BACKGROUND: Loop ileostomy closure is a common procedure in colorectal surgery. Often seen as a simple operation associated with low complication rates, it still leads to lengthy hospitalizations. Reducing postoperative complications and ileus rates could lead to a shorter length of stay and even ambulatory surgery. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of ileostomy closure performed in a 23-hour hospitalization setting using a standardized enhanced recovery pathway. DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial. SETTINGS: Two high-volume colorectal surgery centers. PATIENTS: Healthy adults undergoing elective ileostomy closure, from July 2019 to January 2022. INTERVENTION: All patients were enrolled in a standardized enhanced recovery pathway specific to ileostomy closure including daily irrigation of efferent limb with a nutritional formula for 7 days prior to surgery. Patients were randomly allocated to either conventional hospitalization (n = 23) or a 23-hour stay (n = 24). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Primary outcome was total length of stay and secondary outcomes were 30-day rates of readmission, postoperative ileus, surgical site infections, postoperative morbidity and mortality. RESULTS: A total of 47 patients were ultimately randomized. Patients in the 23-hour hospitalization arm had a shorter median length of stay (1 day vs. 2 days, p = 0.02) and similar rates of readmission (4% vs. 13%, p = 0.35), postoperative ileus (none in both arms), surgical site infection (0 vs. 4%, p = 0.49), postoperative morbidity (21% vs. 22%, p = 1.00) and mortality (none in both arms). LIMITATIONS: Due to COVID-19, access to surgical beds was greatly limited, leading to a shift toward ambulatory surgery for ileostomy closure. The study was terminated early, which affected its statistical power. CONCLUSION: Loop ileostomy closures as 23-hour stay procedures are feasible and safe. Ileus rate might be reduced by preoperative intestinal stimulation with nutritional formula through stoma’s efferent limb, although specific RCTs are needed to confirm this association
