Objective:
Understanding factors for prolonged operative time is essential for surgery. This study aims at identifying the factors related to prolonged ileostomy closure operation time.
Patients And Methods:
The data of 88 patients who underwent ileostomy reversal in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of Jiaxing First Hospital between January 2018 and October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Prolonged operation time was defined as operative time >65 minutes. The Chi-square test was used to compare data between patients with normal operative time (≤65 minutes) and patients with prolonged operative time. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the factors associated with prolonged ileostomy closure operation time.
Results:
Among the 88 patients (mean age: 62.78 years), median ileostomy retention time was 127.50 (range: 61.00-1,192.00) days. The operation time ranged from 35.00 minutes to 125.00 minutes. Prolonged ileostomy closure time occurred in 41 (46.6%) patients. In univariate analysis, the factors associated with prolonged operation time were body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m2, previous history of abdominal surgery, and manual suture. History of serious complications after the primary operation was associated with shorter operation time. In multivariate analysis, the independent risk factors for prolonged operation time were BMI ≥25 kg/m2 (OR = 4.552, 95% CI: 1.369-15.136, p = 0.013), previous history of abdominal surgery (OR = 4.377, 95% CI: 1.394-13.739, p = 0.011), and manual suture (OR = 3.941, 95% CI: 1.181-13.154, p = 0.026).
Conclusions:
Overweight, previous history of abdominal surgery, and manual suture appear to be risk factors for prolonged operative time for ileostomy closure.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:
Ostomy Care
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:

Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...
