Background/Introduction: Defunctioning loop ileostomy is an essential procedure
in gastrointestinal surgery; however, loop ileostomy reversal (LIR) presents specific complications. Studies have indicated that starting enteral feeding early following stoma closure facilitates the reduction of associated morbidity as well as the psychological and economic burden on patients.
Purpose: To prospectively examine the safety, tolerability, and outcome of early enteral feeding following LIR.
Methods: The study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital over 24 months. A total of 128 patients undergoing LIR were randomly assigned to an early enteral feeding group (Group A) and a conventional feeding group (Group B). Pre-, intra-, and postoperative variables were noted.
Results: Significant differences were observed in the postoperative resolution of ileus and the duration of hospital stay between the groups (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Early enteral feeding after LIR is safe and sufficiently tolerated. Furthermore, it leads to the early return of bowel functions and thus shortens hospital stay. |
