Clinical Protocols for Stoma Reversal and Bowel Restoration
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
To determine if a patient is ready for stoma reversal, several clinical, anatomical, and functional criteria must be met to ensure the procedure is safe and likely to result in a good functional outcome.
Core Clinical Requirements
Resolution of Underlying Issue: The original reason for the diversion (e.g., sepsis, inflammatory pathology, or the need to protect a fresh anastomosis) must have resolved.
Intent and Necessity: The stoma must have been intended to be temporary, and the distal bowel must now be available to restore continuity.
Patient Fitness: The patient must be medically fit to tolerate an elective abdominal operation and anesthesia. This includes a review of cardiopulmonary fitness and thromboembolic risk.
