Management of deep infiltrating endometriosis of the rectum: Is a systematic temporary stoma relevant?

Description
Summary:To assess the value of performing a protective stoma in patients operated for rectal endometriosis. From June 2009 to December 2011, 47 patients were operated for rectal endometriosis by segmental or discoid resection in 4 different centers. Two groups were formed: one with protective stoma (group S), n=33 and one without protective stoma (group NS), n=14. Data were collected from the CIRENDO database. Postoperative complication rate of group NS was 57% against 48% in group S (P=0.75). There was an increasing trend of the rate of anastomotic leakage in group S as compared to group NS: 21% against 3% (P=0.073). All 3 patients of group NS with an anastomotic leakage were reoperated and the group S patient had medical treatment. In a center, digestive operative time was not necessarily performed in association with a gastrointestinal surgeon. All patients in group S had a restoration of continuity in about 3 months. Two of them had dilation of anastomotic stricture and 3 others showed a transient postoperative ileus during this recovery. Quality of life was assessed by the MOS SF-36 and significantly improved in both groups thanks to the intervention. Temporary digestive stoma in patients operated for rectal endometriosis has to be considered because in our study, it seems reducing complications such as anastomotic leakage. This must be confirmed with studies with larger numbers.
