ABSTRACT
AIM:
The study aimed to establish a method for the measurement of mesenteric tension after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) and to evaluate the impact of tension on clinical outcome and quality of life.METHODS:
All consecutive patients undergoing an open IPAA from July 2008 to October 2009 were prospectively enrolled. After the creation of the anastomosis, mesenteric tension was estimated by the surgeon in the operating room on a 10-point scale (1, least tension; 10, most tension). The association was analysed between mesenteric tension defined as low (1-2), medium (3-7) and high (8-10) and postoperative complications and quality of life (Cleveland Clinic Global Scale).RESULTS:
A mesenteric tension score was obtained in 134 patients (71 men, 53.0%). Median age was 38.5 (29.3-47.0) years. Fifty-six patients (41.8%) had a low, 59 (44.0%) a medium and 19 (14.2%) a high degree of mesenteric tension. Patients with a high mesenteric tension had a shorter anal transitional zone, a longer distance from the upper border of the symphysis pubis to the apex of the small bowel loop designated for the ileoanal anastomosis, a thinner abdominal wall at the stoma site and a longer distance from the pouch to the ileostomy. The proportion of patients with high mesenteric tension was less after stapled anastomosis. On long-term follow-up, patients with high mesenteric tension were more likely to suffer from anastomotic stricture and pouch failure. Pouch function was not influenced by mesenteric tension.CONCLUSION:
High mesenteric tension after IPAA is adversely associated with postoperative complications and pouch survival.Palavras-chave
