Stoma reversal after emergency stoma formation—the importance of timing: a multi-centre retrospective cohort study
Emergency stoma formation is commonly performed during EmLap, but the majority of emergency stomas are never reversed. The complication profile for reversing these stomas is significant, but early reversal is associated with better post-operative outcomes. Standards of care for emergency stoma patients would be welcome in order to improve outcomes for this cohort.
