Laparoscopic vs open surgery in ileostomy reversal in Crohn’s disease: A retrospective study

Figure 1 Laparoscopic ileostomy reversal and open ileostomy reversal. A: The intraperitoneal adhesions at the stoma were separated; B: The distal intestinal stump was separated; C: Separation was completed under laparoscopy; D and E: Abdominal incision of laparoscopic ileostomy reversal; F and G: Abdominal incision of open ileostomy reversal.

Figure 2 Long-term outcomes after ileostomy reversal. The reoperation rate after ileostomy reversal was similar between laparoscopic ileostomy reversal and open ileostomy reversal. LIR: Laparoscopic ileostomy reversal; OIR: Open ileostomy reversal.
