Temporary faecal diversion is recommended with a low colorectal, coloanal or ileoanal anastomosis (LA). This randomized study evaluated early (EC; 8 days) versus late (LC; 2 months) closure of the temporary stoma.

Early versus standard closure of temporary ileostomy in patients with rectal cancer: A randomized controlled trial
A significant proportion of patients undergoing rectal cancer surgery receive a temporary ileostomy because of its benefits in case of anastomotic dehiscence. However, the best timing for closure…
Early vs delayed closure of loop defunctioning ileostomy in patients undergoing distal colorectal resections: an integrated systematic review and meta‐analysis of published randomized controlled trials
The objective of this study was to evaluate the surgical outcomes and feasibility of early loop defunctioning ileostomy closure, within 2 weeks of index surgery, in patients undergoing distal…
Extended duration of faecal diversion is associated with increased ileus upon loop ileostomy reversal
TLDR
Greater duration of diversion was associated with a trend towards increased risk of ileus; this risk tripled when diversion lasted more than 328 days.
The feasibility and safety of early ileostomy reversal: a systematic review and meta‐analysis
TLDR
This systematic review and meta‐analysis was to evaluate the post‐operative morbidity and overall feasibility of early stoma reversal, and supports the safety of early reversal of a temporary stoma, within 14 days of construction.
Closing a temporary ileostomy within two weeks.
TLDR
Current data support early closure of temporary ileostomy performed to cover rectal anastomosis in routine clinical practice.
Early ileostomy closure: is there a downside?
TLDR
A pilot study examines the safety of early closure compared with traditional timing during the index admission in patients with loop ileostomy.
Randomized clinical trial of intracutaneously versus transcutaneously sutured ileostomy to prevent stoma‐related complications (ISI trial)
TLDR
The study aimed to compare the effect of intracutaneous versus transcutaneous suturing of ileostomies on faecal leakage and quality of life.
Functional outcomes from a randomized trial of early closure of temporary ileostomy after rectal excision for cancer
TLDR
The aim was to compare bowel function and the prevalence of LARS in patients who underwent early or late closure of an ileostomy after rectal resection for cancer.
Reversal of defunctioning stoma following rectal cancer surgery: are we getting better? A population‐based single centre experience
The aim was to assess factors influencing the timing of defunctioning stoma (DS) reversal following low anterior resection of rectum for cancer (LAR).
Should a loop ileostomy closure in rectal cancer patients be done during or after adjuvant chemotherapy?
The influence of ileostomy closure timing on surgical and oncologic outcome was investigated in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer receiving adjuvant chemotherapy after low anterior…

Quality of life after low anterior resection with total mesorectal excision and temporary loop ileostomy for rectal carcinoma
TLDR
Low anterior resection with total mesorectal excision with routine formation of a temporary defunctioning stoma may be the optimal operation for carcinoma of the mid or lower rectum.
Influence of a defunctioning stoma on leakage rates after low colorectal anastomosis and colonic J pouch–anal anastomosis
TLDR
Anal sphincter function is increasingly preserved following rectal excision for cancer and provides a better quality of life for patients than does a permanent colostomy, and the incidence of anastomotic complications following two forms of reconstruction after resection for mid‐rectal cancer is examined.
Risk factors for anastomotic failure after total mesorectal excision of rectal cancer
TLDR
The aim of this study was to investigate risk factors associated with symptomatic anastomotic leakage after total mesorectal excision (TME).
Ileostomy or colostomy for temporary decompression of colorectal anastomosis.
TLDR
The results in terms of occurrence of postoperative stoma prolapse support the choice of loop ileostomy as a technique for fecal diversion for colorectal anastomosis, but large scale RCT's is needed to verify this.
Closure of small bowel stomas on postoperative day 10.
TLDR
Small bowel stomas can be closed in selected healthy patients on postoperative day 10 without major complications, and this procedure was considered only if the patient was not taking steroids, was in good condition, and had not developed wound or general sepsis after the initial operation.
A randomised study of colostomies in low colorectal anastomoses.
TLDR
The results suggest that a covering colostomy does not reduce the leak rate after low anterior resection, but prevents most of the severe infective consequences of the leaks.
Feasibility of early closure of loop ileostomies
TLDR
Closure of a loop ileostomy early after the initial operation was feasible in 18 of 27 patients and was associated with low morbidity and no mortality.
Prospective Evaluation of Selective Defunctioning Stoma for Low Anterior Resection with Total Mesorectal Excision
TLDR
A defunctioning stoma is effective in preventing clinical anastomotic leakage after low anterior resection with total mesorectal excision, and the relatively high incidence of leakage in the low risk group indicates the difficulty of predicting anastOMotic leakage and hence the need for more liberal use of a defunctioned stoma especially in male patients.
Morbidity of Temporary Loop Ileostomy in Patients With Colorectal Cancer
TLDR
The morbidity following closure of a temporary loop ileostomy in colorectal cancer patients is much higher in patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy or radiochemotherapy, and the morbidity might possibly be lowered to the level of patients receiving no additional therapy if ilestomy closure is performed before the start of adjUvant therapy.
