NCT03941522

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and feasibility of ileostomy closure performed in a 23 hours hospitalization setting, using a multi-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial comparing patients being hospitalized overnight (discharged on the day after surgery) to patients being hospitalized as per the current conventional care after ileostomy closure with both groups following a standardized enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway specific to ileostomy closure. Primary outcome will be total length of hospital stay in days and secondary outcomes, measured at 30 days, will include readmission rate, postoperative complication rate minor and severe, postoperative ileus rate, postoperative surgical site infection rate and mortality rate.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Total length of hospital stay

    The number of days spent in the hospital from the time of the surgery to the time of the discharge as well as any day spent in the hospital after any readmission in the 30 days following the ileostomy closure.

    30 days after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Readmission rate

    30 days after surgery

  • Postoperative complication rate

    30 days after surgery

  • Postoperative ileus rate

    30 days after surgery

  • Postoperative surgical site infection rate

    30 days after surgery

  • Postoperative mortality rate

    30 days after surgery

Study Arms (2)

Intervention group (23-hour stay)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients randomized to the group 23-hour stay will be discharged on the day after their surgery if they meet the discharge criteria.

Other: Early discharge from hospital

Control group (conventional hospitalization)

NO INTERVENTION

Patients randomized to the group conventional hospitalization will be hospitalized as per the current conventional care after ileostomy closure.

Interventions

Patients randomized to the group 23-hour stay will be discharged on the day after their surgery if they meet the discharge criteria.
