INTRODUCTION Adaptation to living with a stoma is complex, and studies have shown that stoma creation has a great impact on patients' health related quality of life. The objective was to explore the effect of a structured patient education program on health related quality of life. Therefore, we implemented interventions aimed at increasing health related quality of life during and after hospit...

BACKGROUND Stoma creation is a surgical operation where the surgeon makes an artificial opening on the abdomen from where the bowel is taken out. It is a radical treatment with permanent physical signs of bodily change. In general, it leads to loss of a central and personal physical function, as well as an alteration in the bodily design. Research in the field may provide additional information...

BACKGROUND There is a paucity of information about the frequency and timing of reversal after stoma creation for trauma. In addition, the barriers to reversal faced by those patients are largely unknown. We hypothesize that the rate of stoma creation and reversal are low among trauma patients. Additionally, we sought to identify patient-related barriers to stoma reversal. STUDY DESIGN Analysi...

Introduction Treatment strategy for recurrent stoma prolapse has not been well-established because of the rarity and complexity of the condition. We report a case of recurrent stoma prolapse that was successfully managed using unique surgical treatments. Presentation of case A 72-year-old man with a history of Parkinson's disease presented with transverse (T3N0M0) and sigmoid (T3N0M0) colon c...

When the person with a stoma is in hospital, they will be taught about the practical care of their stoma and, anecdotally, this is their main focus (Burch, 2008). Being discharged home with a good understanding of the newly-formed stoma is essential to ensure that patients can have a positive effect on their own quality of life (Danielsen et al, 2013), as well as adjusting to their new body ima...

abstract background and aims: probable risk factors of clinical anastomotic leakage and the role of defunctioning stoma in patients undergoing low anterior resection (lar) for rectal cancer, is still controversial. the goal of our study was to find out possible risk factors of anastomotic leakage and to locate the influence of protective stoma in the rate of anastomotic leakage. materials and m...

BACKGROUND The use of a protective defunctioning stoma in rectal cancer surgery has been reported to reduce the rates of reoperation for anastomotic leakage, as well as mortality after surgery. However, a protective defunctioning stoma is not often used in cases other than low rectal cancer because of the need for stoma closure later, and hesitation by patients to have a stoma. We outline a nov...
