The Impact of Rectal Stump Inflammation After Subtotal Colectomy on Pouch Outcomes in Ulcerative Colitis Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Proctitis after subtotal colectomy with ileostomy for ulcerative colitis [UC] is common, but its impact on short- and long-term outcome after pouch surgery is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of proctitis after subtotal colectomy and its impact on postoperative morbidity and pouchitis.

Methods

The distal margin of the rectal stump of all consecutive patients undergoing completion proctectomy and pouch procedure for UC, between 1999 and 2017, was revised and scored for active inflammation according to the validated Geboes score, and for diversion proctitis. Pathological findings were correlated to complications after pouch surgery and pouchitis [including therapy-refractory] using multivariate analyses.

Results

Out of 204 included patients, 167 [82%] had active inflammation in the rectal stump and diversion colitis was found in 170 specimens [83%]. Overall postoperative complications and anastomotic leakage rates were not significantly different between patients with and without active inflammation in the rectal stump [34.7% vs 32.4%, p?=?0.79, and 10.2% vs 5.4%, p?=?0.54, respectively]. Active inflammation of the rectal stump was significantly associated with the development of pouchitis [54.3% vs 25.5%, plog?=?0.02], as well as with therapy refractory pouchitis [14% vs 0%, plog?=?0.05]. Following multivariate analysis, active inflammation was an independent predictor for the development of pouchitis. Diversion proctitis showed no association with these outcome parameters.

Conclusions

Active inflammation in the rectal stump after subtotal colectomy occurs in 80% of UC patients and is a predictor for the development of pouchitis and therapy-refractory pouchitis.

Project description:BackgroundIncreasing evidence supports immediate colectomy in acute fulminant ulcerative colitis in comparison with ongoing medical management. Prior studies have been limited to inpatient-only administrative data sets or single-institution experiences.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to compare outcomes of early versus delayed emergency colectomy in patients admitted with ulcerative colitis flares while controlling for known preoperative risks and acuity.DesignThis is a cohort study of patients undergoing emergent total abdominal colectomies for ulcerative colitis compared by the timing of surgery.SettingAdult patients undergoing an emergent total abdominal colectomy for ulcerative colitis, 2005 to 2015, were identified in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database.PatientsPatients undergoing total abdominal colectomy with an operative indication of ulcerative colitis admitted on a nonelective basis were selected.Main outcome measureThe primary outcomes measured were 30-day National Surgical Quality Improvement Program-reported mortality and postoperative complications, and early operation within 2 days of admission.ResultsWe identified 573 total abdominal colectomies after propensity score matching. Median time to surgery was 1 hospital day in the early group versus 6 hospital days in the delayed group (p < 0.001). Early operation was associated with a lower mortality rate (4.9% versus 20.3% in matched groups, p < 0.001) and lower complication rate (64.5% versus 72.0%, p = 0.052). Multivariable logistic regression with propensity weighting of mortality on preoperative risk factors demonstrated that early surgery is associated with an 82% decrease in the odds of death compared with delayed surgery (p < 0.001). Regression of morbidity on preoperative risk factors demonstrated that early surgery is associated with a 35% decrease in the odds of a complication with delayed surgery (p = 0.034).LimitationsQuality improvement data were used for clinical research questions.ConclusionsPatients undergoing immediate surgical intervention for acute ulcerative colitis have decreased postoperative complications and mortality rates. Rapid and early transitioning from medical to surgical management may benefit those expected to require surgery on the same admission. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/A800.
