Application of Laparoscopic Surgery in Ileostomy Reversal

In colorectal cancer surgery, loop ileostomy is sometimes necessary to prevent anastomotic leakage. Although ileostomy reversal is relatively simple, postoperative complication is inevitable. In recent years, laparoscopic surgery has been gradually applied in ileostomy reversal due to its small trauma, fast recovery, and low complications, exhibiting satisfactory short-term outcomes. This review analyzes the application of the laparoscopic technique in ileostomy surgery and explores the potential of total laparoscopic surgery, aiming to provide a new perspective for the clinical application of laparoscopic ileostomy reversal.
