Core Tip	Protective ileostomies are widely used by surgeons for the protection of anastomoses, but they imply a second intervention for reversal. Despite being considered a minor intervention, ileostomy reversal does not lack complications. Adjuvant treatment, complications from the first intervention, or low-priority consideration can delay the closure of the stoma. In our study, we reviewed all complications following ileostomy reversal and found they were considerably high (40%), and increased as did the time (in months) until closure (P = 0.041). In multivariate analysis, male patients had more complications (P = 0.042), mainly wound infections (P = 0.007). Pseudomembranous colitis was also associated with the delay in ileostomy closure (P = 0.003).
