ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Patients with ulcerative colitis are often young, and proctocolectomy with restorative ileo-pouch anal anastomosis is a crucial act that can improve or worsen the quality of the rest of their lives. The literature is scant on long-term functional outcomes after laparoscopy. The purpose of this study was to investigate results in terms of pouch function after standardized total laparoscopic technique compared with open intervention. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
This was a retrospective comparative study. Cases were collected from the prospectively-maintained database of the Unit of General and Oncologic Surgery, XXX, Torino, Italy. Patients treated between May 2005 and May 2015 with three-stage laparoscopic or open proctocolectomy and ileo-pouch anal anastomosis were enrolled. The primary study endpoint was the percentage of well-functioning pouches. Secondary endpoints were postoperative early and late outcomes such as morbidity and pouch survival.RESULTS:
Of the 78 patients identified, 48 underwent the open technique and 30 underwent laparoscopy. Median follow-up was 4 years. The overall complication rates were 19% and 13% (pâ¯=â¯0.5), and there were major complications (Clavien-Dindo III-IV) in 14.6% and 13.3% of patients in the open and laparoscopic groups, respectively (pâ¯=â¯0.8). Late complications occurred in 26 patients. Nine (18.8%) and 5 (16.7%) patients had pouchitis (pâ¯=â¯0.8), and 6 (12.5%) and 2 (6.7%) had cuffitis in the open and laparoscopic groups, respectively (pâ¯=â¯0.70). Pouch failure occurred in 2 patients (4.2%) in the open group and 2 (6.7%) in the laparoscopic group. The pouch was observed to be functioning very well in 18 patients (37.5%) in the open group and in 17 patients (56%) in the laparoscopic group (pâ¯=â¯0.09). The study was limited by its retrospective, nonrandomized design.CONCLUSION:
Our data demonstrated similar early and late results after total laparoscopic and open proctocolectomy, in particular concerning pouch function.Palavras-chave
