Transverser Koloplastik-Pouch nach tiefer anteriorer Resektion.
The transverse coloplasty pouch after low anterior resection: Early postoperative results.
Chirurg 75, 430-435 (2004)
INTRODUCTION: A colon J pouch (CJP) still represents the standard rectal reservoir after low anterior resection. Though the CJP shows favourable early functional results, pouch evacuation problems tend to occur in the long term. The transverse coloplasty pouch (TCP), developed by our group allows comparable early functional results while avoiding evacuation problems. We report our experience with the TCP at the University Hospital of Heidelberg, Germany, and examine the risk of anastomotic leaks with this technique. METHODS: Between 1 October 2001 and 31 May 2003, 201 patients with rectal tumours underwent resection. Eighty-two patients with formation of TCP were enrolled in the study. RESULTS: During the creation of the TCP, no technical problems occurred, and the overall morbidity was 28%, including anastomotic leaks in seven patients (8.5%) and bleeding in two. The reoperation rate was 8.5%. An association between postoperative morbidity and preoperative radiation therapy could not be established. The hospital mortality rate was 3.6%. CONCLUSIONS: The use of TCP is a safe procedure which has gained worldwide acceptance in a short time, representing a technically straightforward procedure. Independently of patient size, habitus, and bulkiness of the colon, a TCP can always be performed after low rectal resection.
