Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical effects of pedicled omentum covering the intestinal anastomotic stoma in preventing anastomotic fistula. Methods The clinical data of 133 patients with high risk of intestinal anastomotic stoma who were admitted to the Henan Tumor Hospital from May 2009 to May 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into the improvement group (69 patients) and the control group (64 patients) according to whether the anastomotic stoma was covered by pedicled omentum. All the operations were done by the surgeons in the same group, and the intestinal reconstruction was done by the equipment produced by the same company. All the patients with intestinal tumors received radical resection. The clinical data of the patients in the 2 groups were reviewed and the therapeutic effects of the 2 approaches were compared. All data were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results Three(4.3%) patients had intestinal fistula in the improvement group, including 1 had small bowel anastomotic fistula, 1 had small bowel and colonic anastomotic fistula, 1 had colonic anastomotic fistula. Eight (12.5%) patients in the control group had intestinal anastomotic fistula, including 1 had duodenal anastomotic fistula, 2 had small bowel anastomotic fistula, 2 had small bowel and colonic anastomotic fistula, and 3 had colonic anastomotic fistula. There was a significant difference in the incidence of anastomotic fistula between the 2 groups (χ2=5.483, P<0.05).The highest body temperatures of the 3 patients in the improvement group were under 38.2 ℃, and the mean white blood cell count was 8.4×109/L;no peritonitis was detected; turbid drainage was observed in the peritoneal tube around the anastomotic stoma. The results of computed tomography showed local inflammation. The highest body temperatures of the 8 patients in the control group were above 38.5 ℃, and the mean white blood cell count was 14.4×109/L; obvious pressing pain and rebound tenderness were detected; intestinal contents were observed in the peritoneal drainage tube. The 3 patients in the improvement group were cured by symptomatic treatment. Of the 8 patients in the control group, 7 received two stage debridement, and 1 received jejunostomy and 3 received ileostomy. The condition of the 7 patients was recovered after operation, and reversion of the ileum at postoperative month 4. One patient died of multiple organs dysfunction syndrome and systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Conclusion Intestinal anastomotic stoma covered by pedicled omentum could effectively decrease the incidence of anastomotic fistula and alleviate systemic inflammatory response syndrome caused by anastomotic fistula.
