Usefulness of transanal tube placement for prevention of anastomotic leakage following laparoscopic low anterior resection

Abstract: Transanal tube placement prevents AL after LLAR. Furthermore, this protective effect may be due to a reduction in the unfavorable incidence of early postoperative diarrhea.

“…Recently, after Laparoscopic Low Anterior Resection (LLAR) AL occurred 12.3% among 154 patients [5]. To prevent AL after LLAR, Tetsuo Ito reported the usefulness of transanal tube [6]. They reported that AL rate was 3.6% in 28 patients with tube in comparison with 24.4% without tube replacement.…”

“…Post-operative diarrhea: Ito et al[ 44 ] reported an association between postoperative diarrhea and occurrence of AL, with an OR of 86.3. The authors speculated that early postoperative diarrhea increases endoluminal pressure at the anastomotic site.…”

“…Diverting stoma: Although evidence regarding the clinical benefit of fecal diversion is conflicting, it is generally agreed that creation of a diverting stoma (DS) can reduce the clinically adverse effects of AL, including fecal peritonitis and septicemia, rather than preventing leakage. In a retrospective series of 69 patients undergoing LAR[ 44 ], no significant difference between DS group and no-DS group in terms of AL incidence (15.4% vs 16.3%) was noted. Although AL was observed in four patients in the DS group, none of them developed AL grade C. In contrast, 57.1% (4/7 cases) of the patients in the no-DS group developed AL grade C, but this difference did not reach statistical significance[ 44 ].…”

“…No deaths occurred in the DS group, and the reoperation rate decreased when anastomotic leakage occurred, although this was not statistically significant. It is generally believed that a DS may reduce the clinically adverse effects of anastomotic leakage, such as peritonitis and sepsis, rather than prevent leakage (29).…”
