In patients undergoing loop ileostomy for IBD, does closure technique (open vs laparoscopic) affect the rate of subsequent pouch-related complications such as inflammation or stricture

the retrieved evidence does not address open vs. laparoscopic loop ileostomy closure or whether closure technique affects downstream pouch-related complications like pouchitis or stricture. the closure-technique literature that was retrieved compares handsewn vs. stapled reversal and reports generic morbidity endpoints (anastomotic dehiscence, bowel obstruction, ileus), not pouch inflammation or pouch stricture ¹.
