The complication rate, length of inpatient hospitalisation and re-admission rate were assessed in 100 patients, in a single clinical practice. The median (interquartile range) length of time between the primary procedure and closure was 133 days (120 \u2013 270) days. Median length of inpatient stay was two days (one - three) days. The overall complication rate was 18 %. One patient had a post-operative leak leading to local abscess formation. This was drained surgically after initial failure with radiological drainage. A second patient had a late leak, three weeks after closure, leading to fistula formation. This patient required surgical resection of the anastomosis after failure of conservative management. Twelve patients were re-admitted with small bowel obstruction (12%), of whom 11 were managed conservatively, while one underwent further surgery. There was one post- operative death as a result of acute cardiac failure secondary to undiagnosed hypertensive cardiomyopathy. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Thus early discharge following closure of a loop ileostomy, can be achieved with an acceptably low serious complication rate. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1258\/rsmsmj.55.1.27","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,3,16]],"date-time":"2011-03-16T22:08:12Z","timestamp":1300313292000},"page":"27-29","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Closure of Loop Ileostomies: Is Early Discharge Safe and Achievable?"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"U","family":"Ihedioha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Monklands Hospital, Airdrie, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S","family":"Muhtaseb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Audit Department, Monklands Hospital, Airdrie, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"K","family":"Kalmar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthetics, Monklands Hospital, Airdrie, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L","family":"Donnelly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Audit Department, Monklands Hospital, Airdrie, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"V","family":"Muir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthetics, Monklands Hospital, Airdrie, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Macdonald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Monklands Hospital, Airdrie, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-RSMSMJ.55.1.27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10350-004-6587-0"},{"key":"bibr2-RSMSMJ.55.1.27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9610(94)90249-6"},{"key":"bibr3-RSMSMJ.55.1.27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10350-004-7255-0"},{"key":"bibr4-RSMSMJ.55.1.27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.4841"},{"key":"bibr5-RSMSMJ.55.1.27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02053937"},{"key":"bibr6-RSMSMJ.55.1.27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01649508"},{"key":"bibr7-RSMSMJ.55.1.27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02554114"},{"key":"bibr8-RSMSMJ.55.1.27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9610(87)90209-1"},{"key":"bibr9-RSMSMJ.55.1.27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.1800690502"},{"key":"bibr10-RSMSMJ.55.1.27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000658-200002000-00008"},{"key":"bibr11-RSMSMJ.55.1.27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10350-004-0686-9"}],"container-title":["Scottish Medical Journal"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1258\/RSMSMJ.55.1.27","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1258\/RSMSMJ.55.1.27","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,1]],"date-time":"2025-03-01T09:12:59Z","timestamp":1740820379000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1258\/RSMSMJ.55.1.27"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2010,2]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2010,2]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1258\/RSMSMJ.55.1.27"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1258\/rsmsmj.55.1.27","relation":{},"ISSN":["0036-9330","2045-6441"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0036-9330","type":"print"},{"value":"2045-6441","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2010,2]]}}}
