description | Background and objective Intestinal perforations and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) requiring the formation of temporary intestinal stoma are prevalent conditions worldwide. This prospective study aimed to address the following research question: does sutureless enterostomy lead to fewer complications compared to conventional enterostomy in critically sick surgical neonates who need a stoma? Methods We conducted a randomized control trial (TCTR20211011004) from October 2020 to October 2021. A total of 120 patients were randomized to the following two study groups: Group A: conventional sutured enterostomy; Group B: sutureless enterostomy, with 60 patients in each group. The operative time, complications, and mortality were compared between the two groups using the chi-squared test. Results The groups were comparable with respect to the mean age at presentation, gestational age, weight, and sex ratio. In Group A, the main operative diagnoses were NEC in 22 patients, pneumoperitoneum in 25, complicated meconium ileus in nine, bowel atresia in three, and midgut volvulus in one; while in Group B, 25 patients had NEC, 20 had pneumoperitoneum, eight had meconium ileus, two had bowel atresia, and five had midgut volvulus. The mean operative time (93.5 ± 28.71 minutes) was significantly longer in the conventional group compared to the sutureless group (52.08 ± 18.53 minutes). Oral feed was started significantly earlier in the sutureless stoma group. Mortality was 43.3% in Group A and 46.6% in Group B. Complication rate was significantly higher in sutured stoma group. Conclusion The management of critically sick neonates, especially those with NEC and intestinal perforation, still presents a surgical dilemma. Based on our findings, the sutureless enterostomy may reduce operative time and complications in critically sick neonates. |
