Abstract

AIM: Patients treated with right-sided hemicolectomy for colon cancer may suffer from long-term bowel dysfunction, including loose stools, urgency and faecal incontinence. The underlying causes are poorly understood. The aim of this case-control study was to investigate the aetiology of chronic loose stools among patients with right-sided hemicolectomy curatively operated for cancer.

METHOD: Cases with chronic loose stools (Bristol stool type 6-7) after right-sided hemicolectomy were compared with a control group of patients with right-sided hemicolectomy without loose stools. All patients underwent a selenium-75 homocholic acid taurine (SeHCAT) scan to diagnose bile acid malabsorption (BAM) and a glucose breath test to diagnose small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Gastrointestinal transit time (GITT) was assessed with radiopaque markers. In a subgroup of patients, fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) was measured in fasting blood. SIBO was treated with antibiotics and BAM was treated with bile acid sequestrants.

RESULTS: We included 45 cases and 19 controls. In the case group, 82% (n = 36) had BAM compared with 37% (n = 7) in the control group, p < 0.001. SIBO was diagnosed in 73% (n = 33) of cases with chronic loose stools and in 74% (n = 14) of controls, p = 0.977. No association between BAM and SIBO was observed. GITT was similar in cases and controls. No difference in median FGF19 was observed between cases and controls (p = 0.894), and no correlation was seen between FGF19 and SeHCAT retention (rs 0.20, p = 0.294). Bowel symptoms among cases were reduced after treatment.

CONCLUSION: BAM and SIBO are common in patients having undergone right-sided hemicolectomy for cancer. Chronic loose stools were associated with BAM but not with SIBO.
