| Abstract: |
Introduction: Colostomy reversal is a common surgical procedure following oncological and non-oncological resections. Colostomy reversal is performed in 60% in of non-oncological patients, and in only 40% of patients operated on for oncological reasons. Postoperative course as a possible reason for a lower colostomy reversal rate remains a controversial issue. Aim: To compare postoperative outcomes of colostomy reversal in patients with oncological versus non-oncological indications for colostomy creation. Materials and methods: The multicenter, prospective Liquidation of Colostomy (LICO) study was conducted in 20 surgical departments in Poland between October 2022 and December 2023. Patients were divided into two groups based on colostomy indication: oncological (Group 1) and non-oncological (Group 2). Primary outcomes were the length of hospital stay (LOS), postoperative complications, and 30-day reoperation rates. Results: Among 126 patients (46 in Group 1, 80 in Group 2), Group 1 patients were older (median 67 vs. 55.5 years, p |
