Summary

To evaluate if the Ghost Ileostomy is really advantageous in laparoscopy we conducted a prospective randomized controlled study comparing 2 groups of patients undergoing anterior resection of the rectum laparoscopically. In the first group of patients at the end of the procedure was always performed a Ghost Ileostomy while in the second group no protective stoma was built at the end of the intervention.

Conditions

  • Colo-rectal Anastomosis Dehiscence

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Ghost Ileostomy

At the end of Laparoscopic Anterior Rectal Resection, once the colorectal anastomosis was performed, the terminal ileum was identified and a window in the mesentery was created to pass a rubber tube (we usually use an urinary catheter) around the intestinal loop. The tube was subsequently exteriorized trough the trocar incision in the right flank.
