Abstract

Purpose To determine the value of routine contrast enema of loop ileostomy before elective ileostomy closure regarding the influence on the clinical decision-making. Materials and Methods Retrospective analysis of contrast enemas at a tertiary care center between 2005 und 2011. Patients were divided into two groups: Group I with ileostomy reversal, group II without ileostomy closure. Patient-related parameters (underlying disease, operation method) and parameters based on the findings (stenosis, leakage of anastomosis, incontinence) were evaluated. Results Analyzing a total of 252 patients in 89 % (group I, n = 225) ileostomy closure was performed. In 15 % the radiologic report was the only diagnostic modality needed for therapy decision; in 36 % the contrast enema and one or more other diagnostic methods were decisive. In 36 % the radiological report of the contrast imaging was not relevant for decision at all. In 11 % (group II, n = 27) no ileostomy closure was performed. In this group in 11 % the radiological report of the contrast enema was the only decision factor for not performing the ileostomy reversal. In 26 % one or more examination was necessary. In 26 % the result of the contrast examination was not relevant. Conclusion The radiologic contrast imaging of loop ileostomy solely plays a minor role in complex surgical decision-making before planned reversal, but is important as first imaging method in detecting complications and often leads to additional examinations.
