An institutional comparison of total abdominal colectomy and diverting loop ileostomy and colonic lavage in the treatment of severe, complicated Clostridium difficile infections - 18/04/17
Abstract |
Background |
Total abdominal colectomy (TAC) is the standard surgical treatment of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). An alternative therapy, loop ileostomy and colonic lavage (IL), was described in 2011, but the results have never been validated.
Methods |
Patients treated surgically for CDI between April 2011 and June 2015 were included. Bivariable analysis was used to compare 30-day mortality, 1-year mortality, CDI recurrence, colon preservation and ileostomy reversal.
Results |
Ten IL patients and thirteen TAC patients were identified. 30-day mortality (30% vs 23%, p = 1.0) and 1-year mortality (40% vs 46%, p = 1.0) were similar. Four IL and three TAC patients (57% vs 30%, p = 0.35) experienced recurrent CDI. All six surviving IL patients had successful colon preservation; five underwent ileostomy reversal compared to three in the TAC group (83% vs 43%, p = 0.27).
Conclusions |
Although IL allowed colon preservation and return of intestinal continuity in most patients, IL did not decrease mortality or recurrent CDI when compared to TAC.
