| Core Tip |
This study evaluated the efficacy of colostomy and stoma reversal in severe hemorrhagic chronic radiation proctopathy. After screening 738 patients, 14 patients in the colostomy group and 25 in the conservative treatment group were included. All 14 colostomy patients achieved complete remission of bleeding, and the colostomy was reversed in 13 patients. The hemoglobin level increased gradually after the stoma. However, no bleeding cessation was observed in the conservative group. Anorectal functions and quality of life were improved after stoma reversal. In conclusion, diverting colostomy is an effective option and can be reversed in severe hemorrhagic chronic radiation proctopathy. |
