Clinical analysis of different intestinal reconstruction methods after primary cytoreductive surgery combined with rectal resection for advanced ovarian cancer by Huimin Wang, Xiaocen Li, Ying Jiang, Jinxin Chen, Rong Cao, Jingru Zhang

“…The primary intestinal anastomosis group exhibited a larger blood transfusion volume, higher incidence rates of anastomotic leak and electrolyte disturbance, and longer times to first flatus, first feeding and drain removal than the other two groups (p < 0.05).ConclusionsColostomy can be adopted for advanced ovarian cancer patients with a large ascites volume, hypoproteinemia, large intraoperative blood and fluid loss volumes, multiple intestinal resections, anastomoses located below the peritoneal reflection, high PCI and suboptimal cytoreductive surgery. For patients with good intraoperative and postoperative outcomes, one anastomosis, an anastomosis located above the peritoneal reflection, low PCI or optimal cytoreductive surgery, intestinal anastomosis can be carried out to restore the normal physiological function of the intestine. …”
