Implementation of an Efferent Loop Stimulation Protocol Prior to Ileostomy Closure at La Paz University Hospital

Brief summary (registry, in English)
Stoma creation is a common surgical procedure, employed in certain contexts within general surgery, particularly in colorectal and emergency surgery. Although stoma formation is a life-saving technique, the diversion of intestinal contents has pathophysiological, aesthetic, and psychological repercussions on patients' lives. Stomas may be either permanent or temporary. In temporary cases, a second intervention is required to perform ileostomy closure and restore normal intestinal transit. Several studies indicate that stimulation of the efferent loop prior to ileostomy closure yields benefits in patients' postoperative outcomes. Currently, there is no established protocol for this intervention at Hospital Universitario La Paz. However, implementing such a protocol-given that it is a simple, inexpensive, and accessible intervention-could offer significant cost-effectiveness. It may reduce complications and hospital stay, improve patients' quality of life, and represent a valuable contribution to the General Surgery Departmen
