Area of Science:

  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Surgical Outcomes
  • Patient Management

Background:

  • Hartmann's procedure and Hartmann-type operations are common for colorectal emergencies.
  • Rectal stump management and colorectal anastomosis are critical aspects influencing patient outcomes.
  • Understanding complications and functional recovery is essential for surgical decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate surgical outcomes of Hartmann's and Hartmann-type procedures.
  • To analyze problems associated with rectal stump remnants and colorectal anastomosis.
  • To compare patient outcomes based on surgical approach and stump type.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 105 consecutive patients (mean age 66).
  • Evaluation of surgical morbidity and mortality in relation to colorectal pathology and rectal stump type.
  • Review of surviving patients regarding second-stage anastomosis reversal.

Main Results:

  • Obstructed/perforated malignancies (65%) and complicated diverticular disease (16%) were primary indications.
  • Peri-operative mortality and morbidity rates were 11.4% and 24%, respectively.
  • Stump blowout occurred in 3% of intraperitoneal and 25% of extraperitoneal stumps; local recurrence and diversion proctitis were also noted.

Conclusions:

  • While extraperitoneal stumps have an anatomical advantage, stump blowout rates are not significantly different between intraperitoneal and extraperitoneal stumps.
  • Functional rectal recovery is significantly better for benign diseases (68%) compared to malignant conditions (32%).
  • Timing of second-stage re-anastomosis closure is not critical if the septic episode has resolved.
