"Dumpling Suture Method" Versus Traditional Suture Method of Protective Loop Ileostomy in Laparoscopic Anterior Rectal Resection With Specimen Extraction Via Stoma: a Retrospective Comparative Study

August 23, 2023 updated by: Tingyu Wu, Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine
Natural Orifice Specimen Extraction Surgery (NOSES), which involves obtaining specimens from the abdominal cavity without any incisions, has attracted much attention in recent years, and it has been widely popularized in the treatment of rectal cancer because of its postoperative non-incision, advantages of less trauma, quicker recovery, and postoperative aesthetics. Anastomotic fistula is a serious complication of rectal cancer surgery. For patients at high risk of anastomotic fistula, prophylactic ileostomy is often performed intraoperatively to divert feces and protect the anastomosis. For such patients, rectal anterior resection surgery with specimen extraction via stoma (NOSES with specimen extraction via stoma) is usually performed, borrowing a prophylactic stoma incision to retrieve the specimen, and also realizing the absence of additional abdominal incision. However, this procedure is prone to stoma infection and has a high complication rate (20-40%), which limits the popularization of NOSES surgery and is an urgent clinical problem. Our center has proposed a new stoma closure method (Dumpling Suture Method), which reduces the size of the incision by folding the suture to achieve the effect of hiding the skin incision and reduce stoma infection. The study aimed to introduce the "Dumpling suture method" of protective loop ileostomy in laparoscopic anterior resection and compare this new method with the traditional method. From August 1st 2019 to August 1st 2023, 22 cases of the new procedure were completed in our center, and 30 patients with stoma closure by the traditional method were included in the same period for control purposes. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 52 patients in the study center, and the intraoperative details and postoperative outcomes of the two groups were measured.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: "Dumpling suture" for ileostomy
The stoma is fixed with sutures in a skin fold method, and the incision is progressively reduced in a process similar to the process of folding and pinching the Chinese small dumplings. This procedure may reduce stoma complications by progressively reducing the incision and realizing the effect of hiding the skin incision.
Procedure: Suturing of ileostomy using "Dumpling suture method"
Suturing of ileostomy using "Dumpling suture method"
Other: Traditional suture for ileostomy
The stoma was fixed at the skin using traditional sutures. The incision is narrowed by 2-3 interrupted sutures at the distal and proximal ends of the skin incision on the abdominal wall. The stoma is then fixed at the right lower abdominal incision with sutures.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Complication rate of stoma
Time Frame: Day 30 after surgery
Observe and assess for stoma complications
Day 30 after surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Stoma DET（Discoloration，Erosion and Tissue overgrowth） score
Time Frame: Day 30 after surgery
Measure the state of the skin around the stoma and the corresponding lesion area, ranging from 0-15, higher scores mean a worse outcome of stoma

Time Frame: Day 30 after surgery
Measurement of stoma pain level using numerical rating scale，ranging from 0-10, higher scores mean a worse outcome of pain
