INTRODUCTION In female patients with neuropathic bladder, the urethra is closed permanently in order to avoid urine leak. Then Benchekroun hydraulic ileal valve is attached to urinary bladder, thus providing a continent stoma for performing intermittent catheterisations. CASE PRESENTATION We present a female patient with spina bifida who underwent Benchekroun continent vesicostomy in 1993. Th...

OBJECTIVES Weight gain can cause retraction of an intestinal stoma, possibly resulting in difficulty with wafer and pouch fit, daily care challenges, and discomfort. This cross-sectional study examined the association between body mass index (BMI) and ostomy-related problems among long-term (>5years post-diagnosis) colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors. MATERIALS AND METHODS CRC survivors from th...

angiopancreatography (ERCP) via a gastrostomy by stomal balloon dilation through a surgical or radiological gastrostomy site has been described in a few cases [1–3]. We report here a novel technique for dilating a rigid percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) stoma for therapeutic ERCP. A 69-year-old man with bile duct stones was hospitalized for acute cholangitis. A gastrostomy feeding tube ...

The distance between the anal verge and lower edge of rectal cancer is one of the most important factors affecting the feasibility of sphincter-preserving resection.The aim of the study was to assess the risk of permanent stoma after resection of rectal tumour depending on the distance between the tumour and the anal verge.Material and methods. The retrospective analysis covered 884 patients af...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES When deciding about the use of a defunctioning stoma in rectal cancer surgery, benefits and risks need to be weighed. This study investigated: (1a) factors associated with the use of defunctioning stomas; (1b) hospital variation; and (2) surgeons' perceptions regarding factors that determine this decision. METHODS Population-based data from the Dutch Surgical Colorec...

A new operative technique for continent urinary diversion was designed as a continent vesicocutaneostomy and preliminary experiments were performed on 7 dogs. A U-shaped flap of anterior bladder wall (30 X 20 X 30 mm) was created, which was then rolled and sutured to an efferent duct. One-half to two-thirds in length of the efferent duct was placed between the muscular layer and mucosa of the b...
