What the experts said
The study was a retrospective cohort study aimed at analyzing the true impact of performing an ostomy while doing an ileal pouch anastomosis.
The study included 317 patients total.
238 patients received a diverting ileostomy with the IPAA.
79 patients only received the IPAA without diversion.
There were no significant differences in surgical site infections between the diverted and non-diverted groups.
There were no significant differences in intra-abdominal post-operative drainage between the diverted and non-diverted groups.
There were no significant differences in 30-day readmission rates between the diverted and non-diverted groups.
The findings suggest that diverting ileostomy is not as mandatory as previously thought during IPAA.
