Patients with a tracheostomy stoma experience compromised speech and function due to the associated changes in airflow patterns. Rehabilitation of a patient with tracheal stoma is a highly challenging task. The main objective is to design an inexpensive, easily fabricated stomal prosthesis for postlaryngectomy patients who require prolonged tracheotomy. This clinical case report describes a 29-...

This is a description of the technique used for laparoscopy-assisted colostomy in neonates with anorectal malformations (ARM), using 2 laparoscopic ports only. The technique is easy to use and has the advantages of enabling identification of the sigmoideum, the internal genitals and to establish a stoma leaving only minimal scars in the umbilicus. In our departments, we routinely perform stoma ...

Tracheobronchial foreign body aspirations are the most common cause of acute respiratory obstruction and vital health problem that have to be diagnosed and managed immediately. Aspiration can lead to serious consequences up to respiratory arrest, if complete or near complete airway obstruction occurs or intervention is delayed. The existence of tracheal stoma after previous surgeries is an impo...

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 tech...

Abstract Aim 214 stomas were created between January 2019 and 2020 at our Tertiary Colorectal Centre. We surveyed patients to identify desirable features for a mobile stoma support application mitigate potential challenges of limited in-person review. The aim is three-fold: To survey patients, literature on applications supporting evaluate available applications. Method A 60 newly formed focuse...

The OBJECTIVE was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of original technique extraperitoneal closure a loop intestinal stoma. METHODS AND MATERIALS. A comparative analysis results surgical treatment 80 ostomy patients who underwent reconstructive restorative interventions carried out. main group included 40 operated on according method control consisted restoration tract continuity using standar...

Intact skin provides a protective barrier between the body and its environment. The frequent application and removal of stoma appliances can damage skin by stripping away the epidermal layer. Hydrocolloid flanges in either a one- or two-piece appliance hold moisture in the mass and are therefore more skin friendly than older appliances with acrylic adhesives, making hydrocolloid the choice for ...

Parastomal hernia is a complication of stoma formation. It is accompanied by high morbidity. It affects stoma's function and patient's quality of life. There several alternative treatment options including stoma relocation, primary prophylactic repair during the stoma construction and open or laparoscopic mesh repair. We describe the case of a young woman...
