Background:
The rate of stoma closure after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) ± hypethermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is reportedly low. This study aimed to assess predictors of stoma reversal.
Methods:
We retrospectively analyzed all patients who underwent CRS with temporary ostomy at our center between 2009 and 2021, and compared reversed versus non-reversed patients.
Results:
Out of 625 CRS, 72 (11.5%) patients were included (median age 62 years, 65% female, 75% with HIPEC): 53 (74%) achieved stoma closure. Reversed patients had less high grade tumors, more appendiceal mucinous neoplasms, less ovarian primaries, and more loop ileostomies. The most common reason for non-reversal was disease progression or death (14 cases, 74%). At multivariate analysis, low/intermediate grade tumor differentiation was associated with higher stoma closure rate.
Conclusion:
In our study, 74% of patients achieved stoma closure after CRS with temporary ostomy. The strongest predictor of stoma closure was a low/intermediate grade tumor.

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:
Tracheostomy Decannulation
Description of the Procedure
Decannulation refers to the permanent removal of the tracheostomy tube, signaling the resolution of the condition that initially necessitated the tracheostomy. The process requires a well-coordinated interplay between...
