Reducing spillage during emergency stoma formation in patients with obstructed and unprepared bowel
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Stoma formation is often complicated by early skin irritation and infection. Rates for local irritation are reported at 3–42% while peristomal infections and abscesses occur in 2–14.8% of cases. Intraoperative bowel content spillage is an avoidable risk factor.1 We describe a cost efficient method of minimising spillage and forcepselated bowel trauma using a Foley catheter. This technique is particularly suited when performing a trephine stoma on unprepared bowel in the emergency setting.
