What the experts said
Over the past 5-10 years there has been a trend toward doing primary anastomosis after bowel resection as opposed to a stoma
The study was published in JPS in October 2022 by a group from Emma Hospital Amsterdam
The study was a 20-year retrospective review of patients that had stomas to assess the true morbidity
About 40% of patients had some sort of major morbidity from a stoma, whether in the creation or the takedown
About 25% of patients that have a stoma creation will have either a high output stoma or prolapse
About 25% of patients in the stoma takedown will have a stricture, a leak, or a hernia at the stoma site
