Association of Timing of Colostomy Reversal With Outcomes Following Hartmann Procedure for Diverticulitis

Introducción. El procedimiento de Hartmann es una de las cirugías que se realizan con mayor frecuencia frente a una complicación oclusiva o perforativa de colon izquierdo; nos permite resolver el cuadro clínico de la complicación. El porcentaje de restitución del tránsito intestinal es muy bajo, promedialmente inferior al 50%. Ésto se debe a factores propios del paciente, la morbimortalidad de la cirugía, y a dificultades técnicas. El reestablecimiento del tránsito intestinal luego de un Hartmann puede llegar a ser una cirugía muy hostil. Tiene una morbilidadmortalidad propia no despreciable, independientemente de la vía de abordaje utilizada. La reversión por laparoscopía es uno de los procedimientos más complejos a realizar mediante este abordaje. Pero varios estudios han demostrado, que si bien requiere de una curva de aprendizaje más larga y un nivel de destreza técnica alto, tiene mejores resultados que el laparotómico. Descripción. Presentamos el caso clínico de un hombre de 65 años, que consultó por una peritonitis purulenta diverticular un año atrás, al cual se le realizó una procedimiento de Hartmann. Se coordina para reconstrucción del tránsito intestinal por vía laparoscópica. Paciente en decúbito dorsal, Trendelemburg 30º y lateralizado a derecha. Neumoperitoneo hasta 12mmHg por técnica abierta en flanco derecho para un puerto de 12mm, inicialmente para la cámara, y luego para la mano izquierda del cirujano. Otro de 6mm en fosa ilíaca derecha para la mano derecha del cirujano, y uno de 12mm supraumbilical para la cámara. Identificamos el muñón rectal en la pelvis. Liberamos el ostoma circunferencialmente, y confeccionamos una jareta con polipropileno 2-0. Colocacamos el anvil de la sutura mecánica 29mm, y reintroducimos el cabo colónico al abdomen. Se realiza cierre parietal en dos planos, y reinstalamos el neumoperitoneo. Colocacamos la sutura mecánica transrectal, engarzando la misma con el anvil a través de la cara anterior del muñón rectal, confeccionando la anastomosis colo-rectal término-lateral. La prueba hidroneumática fue negativa. El paciente tuvo un postoperatorio sin complicaciones, otorgándole el alta a las 72hs del procedimiento, tolerando vía oral, sin dolor, sin fiebre y habiendo movilizado el intestino. Conclusiones. La cirugía de Hartmann sigue siendo uno de los procedimiento más realizados para tratar las complicaciones perforativas y oclusivas del colon izquierdo y recto. La restitución del tránsito intestinal luego de esta cirugía tiene un altísimo porcentaje de no concretarse por diferentes motivos. La cirugía miniinvasiva requiere de una larga curva de aprendizaje y destreza de alto nivel, pero hay varios trabajos que demuestran que la reversión de un Hartmann tiene mejores resultados por esta vía.

In the period 1990 - 2002, 1674 patients with colorectal carcinoma were operated in the First Surgical Clinic, Third Department for Colorectal Surgery. In 1264 cases (75,5%) rectal carcinoma was the indication for surgical treatment. Sphincter saving procedures (SSP) were performed in 824 (65,2%), abdominoperineal resections (APR) in 340 (26,9%) and resections of rectum with definitive stoma (Hartmann procedure) in 100 (7,9%) patients. We analyzed 1095 cases where curative SSP or APR were performed. All cases where curative resection was not possible because of liver metastases or inability to excise all macroscopic disease were excluded. In the group of patients where SSP was performed (767 cases), there were 26,6% high colorectal anastomoses (8cm from anal verge), 65,4% with low (4-8cm from anal verge) and 8,0% with intersphincteric coloanal anastomosis (cm from anal verge). Patohistological exam showed 5,3% Dukes A, 53,1% Dukes B, 36,5% Dukes C and 4,9% Dukes D. In the APR group (328 cases) there were 1,5% Dukes A, 32,4% Dukes B, 62,1% Dukes C and 3,5% Dukes D. In this study we analyzed local recurrence and five-year survival in both groups. Recurrence of the disease was registered in 325 (29,6%) out of 1095 patients. Local recurrence was found in 81 (7,4%) patients. In the SSP group recurrence occured in 215 (28,0%) out of 767 curative resections. Local recurrence alone was found in 53 patients (6,9%). SSP group was also divided into two subgroups; in the first group TME was performed and in second transection of mesorectum was carried out. Analyzing local recurrence in these two groups, in the TME group it was 7,6% and in the transection group 5,6%. In the APR group recurrence was registered in 110 (33,5%) out of 328 patients while local recurrence alone was found in 28 (8,5%) cases. Analyzing mortality we found that 234 (21,4%) out of 1095 patients died during follow-up. In the SSP group 154 out of 767 patients (20,1%) died. In the TME group mortality was 21,7% and in the transection group 16,9%. Mortality in the APR group showed that 80 out of 328 (24,4%) patients died during follow-up. Analysis by the Kaplan-Meier?s test shows cumulative survival of 0,69 for all cases. In the SSP group cumulative survival is 0,72 and in the APR group 0,64 with statistically significant difference (p,001). In the TME group cumulative survival is 0,75 and in the transection group 0,72 with statistically significant difference (p,05). We believe that performing SSP should be encouraged whenever it is possible because there is no difference in local recurrence rates and survival compared to APR. Transection of mesorectum can safely be performed in most cases with tumors located more than 8 cm form anal verge. We believe that exact preoperative staging and preoperative radiotherapy could improve results.

Hernia Incidence

Abstract Aim The aim of this systematic review was to report the risk of parastomal and incisional hernias after emergency surgery for Hinchey III–IV diverticulitis. Material and Methods The Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed (MEDLINE), Web of Science and Scopus databases were systematically searched. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies comparing HP with other surgical treatment options for perforated diverticulitis classified as purulent or faecal (Hinchey III–IV) were considered for inclusion. Exclusion criteria were case series and reports, letters, editorials, reviews and conference abstracts. The primary endpoint was parastomal hernia incidence. The secondary endpoint was incisional hernia incidence. Seven studies (six randomized controlled trials and one retrospective cohort) with a total of 831 patients were eligible for inclusion. Results The parastomal hernia incidence was 15.2–46.0% for Hartmann procedure, 0–85.2% for primary anastomosis, 4.3% for resection and 1.6 % for laparoscopic lavage. The incisional hernia incidences were 7.8–38.1% for Hartmann procedure, 4.5–27.2% for primary anastomosis, 3.2–25.5% for primary resection, 2.7–11.1% for laparoscopic lavage and 16.1–45.8% for secondary resection. Due to heterogeneity of follow-up methods, follow-up time and lack of both parastomal and incisional hernia as outcome, no meta-analysis was conducted. Conclusions The hernia incidences reported after surgical treatment for complicated diverticulitis may be biased and underestimated. For future RCTs, researchers are encouraged to pay attention to hernia diagnosis, symptoms and prevention.
