Abstract | Background: Restoration of bowel continuity after left extended colectomy may be challenging because the remaining colon may not reach the rectal stump without tension to perform a safe anastomosis. Performing a total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis (IRA) is an option, but the quality of life can be significantly impaired due to loose stools and an increase in bowel frequency. In contrast, the preservation of the right colon and ileocaecal valve in the Deloyers procedure (DP) might ensure a better stool consistency and bowel transit, and therefore a superior quality of life. Materials and methods: A transverse study comparing patients that underwent DP versus patients with an IRA was performed. Postoperative morbidity, mortality, functional outcomes, and quality of life were analysed between groups. Quality of life after the surgical procedure was assessed with the SF-36 V2® health survey. Results: A total of 16 patients with DP and 32 with IRA were included. The groups had similar demographic characteristics concerning age, sex, body mass index, ASA classification, diagnosis and Charlson comorbidity index. The median follow-up was 55 months for DP and 99 months for IRA. Postoperative complications were similar in both groups. Patients in the DP group had fewer bowel movements (P = 0.01), tenesmus (P = 0.04) and use of loperamide (P = 0.03). DP patients achieved better scores in physical pain (P = 0.02) and general health (P < 0.01) than IRA patients. Conclusions: DP for intestinal continuity restoration after extended left colon resection is a safe and feasible alternative, possibly achieving better functional outcomes and quality-of-life compared to IRA. |
