BISHOP-KOOP OSTOMY REVISITED: A "TEST-DRIVE" INTESTINAL DIVERSION FOR CHILDREN WITH SUSPECTED BOWEL DYSMOTILITY.

BACKGROUND: Bishop-Koop ileostomy has been widely used in pediatric patients with the intention of including as much bowel as possible in the intestinal transit early in the management of children with meconium ileus and intestinal atresia. In recent years, we have been using it as an alternative to test the distal bowel function before closure of a previously constructed ostomy in selected children with questionable distal bowel motility. AIMS: The aim of this study was to present our experience with this alternative use of the Bishop-Koop ostomy. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional retrospective review of hospital records, combined with a comprehensive literature review. RESULTS: Seven children were included: five had suspected aganglionosis, one had gastroschisis complicated with ileal atresia, and one had a colonic stricture secondary to necrotizing enterocolitis. In this short series of patients, motility of the distal bowel was correctly assessed in six patients and partially correctly assessed in one patient. One patient did not pass stools per anus after the Bishop-Koop, and he was later confirmed to have Hirschsprung disease. Four patients resumed normal evacuation pattern after closure of the Bishop-Koop. One patient had a Bishop-Koop colostomy because of recurrent enterocolitis after a transanal pull-through. Although he evacuated normally while having the colostomy, the diarrhea recurred after the ostomy was closed. An additional patient, with a severe behavioral problem, did not evacuate per anus after her colostomy was transformed in a Bishop-Koop-type ostomy, despite the apparent presence of normal ganglia in the bowel wall. CONCLUSIONS: Data from the present series allow us to affirm that Bishop-Koop-type ostomy is a safe and efficient procedure that can be used to assess distal bowel function before a definitive transit reconstruction, in children with uncertain motility issues.

COMPARISON BETWEEN OSTOMY CLOSURE USING PURSE-STRING VERSUS LINEAR IN CHILDREN.

BACKGROUND: Type of ostomy closure has connection with some complications and also cosmetic effects. AIMS: This study aimed to compare result of colostomy closure using purse-string method versus linear method in terms of surgical site infection, surgical time, and patient satisfaction. METHODS: In this study, 50 patients who underwent purse-string ostomy closure and 50 patients who underwent linear closure were included. Two groups were compared for surgical time, wound infection, patient satisfaction, scar length. A p-value <0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: Wound infection was not reported among purse-string group compared to 10% in linear group (p=0.022). Scar length was 24.09±0.1 mm in purse string and 52.15±1.0 mm in linear group (p=0.033). Duration of hospital admission was significantly shorter in purse-string group (6.4±1.1 days) compared to linear (15.5±4.6 days, p=0.0001). The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale scale for observer (p=0.038) and parents (p=0.045) was more favorable among purse-string group compared to linear. CONCLUSION: Purse-string technique has the less frequent surgical site infection, shorter duration of hospital admission, less scar length, and more favorable cosmetic outcome, compared to linear technique.

The Other Double Bubble Sign: Gastric Parastomal Hernia.

Introduction: A parastomal hernia (PSH) is an abnormal herniation of an intra-abdominal organ or other tissue through an intentionally created fascial defect at an ostomy site. PSHs commonly involve reducible mobile segments of omentum, intra-abdominal fat, and bowel. However, PSHs may rarely involve fixed intra-abdominal organs such as the stomach. Case Description: A 68-year-old female underwent emergent Hartmann procedure for Hinchey III diverticulitis and subsequently developed a large reducible parastomal hernia. She was scheduled for an elective laparoscopic colostomy reversal. Prior to her scheduled reversal, the patient presented to the ED with anorexia, lack of colostomy output, emesis, and pain localized to her left lower quadrant. She was found to have gastric outlet obstruction secondary to herniation of the stomach through the left lower quadrant colostomy site. The patient was admitted and treated conservatively with resolution of her symptoms, but due to the high likelihood of recurrence, the decision was made to proceed with laparoscopic Hartmann colostomy reversal with coloproctostomy and primary closure of the fascia without mesh. Conclusion: The contents of a PSH can become incarcerated causing obstruction, strangulation, necrosis and even perforation over time. Fortunately, in this case, herniation of the stomach was recognized early. The patient underwent repair of the hernia defect in order to prevent recurrence of gastric herniation and its potential detrimental complications. The decision regarding the technical aspects of ostomy reversal in terms of mesh selection require further study. In our case, mesh was not used due to patient-specific factors and comorbidities.

Calidad de vida en personas portadoras de ostomías digestivas / Quality of life in people with digestive ostomies

INTRODUCCIÓN: La realización de una ostomía digestiva ha de ocasionar en las personas alteraciones en las dimensiones del ser como físicas, mentales, sociales y culturales lo que genera compromisos en la calidad de vida.

INTRODUCTION. The performance of a digestive ostomy must cause alterations in the dimensions of the being such as physical, mental, social and cultural, which generates compromisesin the quality of life. OBJECTIVE. To evaluate the impact on the quality of life of the person with an ostomy condition in the city of Manizales. METHODOLOGY. Study developed through a quantitative phase with a descriptive observational design using the Montreaux questionnaire for the assessment of quality of life and a qualitative, phenomenological phase carried out through semi-structured interviews in which 16 people with ostomized conditions participated. RESULTS. Average age 56 years, 75% of them belonged to low socioeconomic status, 50% had primary education and 50% had secondary education. 75% belonged to the contributory health scheme. The quantitative results showed a quality of life index of 44.5%; The aspect with the highest percentage in quality of life was the fact of not having social concerns, 73%, on the contrary, the lowest percentage was obtained in the aspect related to sexual activity, 25%. A self-sufficiency percentage of 80% was identified, but a negative adaptation in 50% of the cases. The qualitative results showed seven categories that describe the aspects that alter the quality of life and self-care: feeling of disability, job loss, alteration of body image, coping according to duration and position of the ostomy, projection of the future, social isolation and alteration of sexuality. CONCLUSIONS. The quality of life index was low and the categories found confirm the aspects of daily life of people with an ostomy condition and the need to provide comprehensive care where the role of nursing is widely visible.

Time after ostomy surgery and type of treatment are associated with quality of life changes in colorectal cancer patients with colostomy.

PURPOSE: Quality of life in colorectal cancer patients may be affected by colostomy and treatment, but relevant studies are still scarce and contradictory. The present study aimed to evaluate the association between colostomy time and treatment type with quality of life in colorectal cancer patients. METHODS: A prospective observational study of 41 patients with colorectal cancer was conducted on three occasions T0, T1 and T2 (0-2; 3-5 and 6-8 months after ostomy surgery, respectively). The treatments prescribed were: surgery alone, chemotherapy or radiotherapy, or chemoradiotherapy. European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer questionnaires were used to evaluate quality of life. Worsening clinical changes were evaluated considering difference in scores between times of surgery ≥±9 points. RESULTS: Regarding ostomy surgery, scores in physical function improved between T0 and T1 and these better scores were maintained at T1 to T2. The same was observed for urinary frequency, appetite loss and dry mouth. Chemoradiotherapy was associated with worse scores for global health status, nausea and vomiting, bloating and dry mouth. Although significant differences were not observed in some domains in the Generalized Estimating Equations analysis, patients showed noticeable changes for the worse in the pain, anxiety, weight concern, flatulence and embarrassment domains during these periods. CONCLUSIONS: Colostomy improved quality of life at 3-5 months in most domains of quality of life and remained better at 6-8 months after surgery. Chemoradiotherapy had a late negative influence on quality of life. Health teams could use these results to reassure patients that this procedure will improve their quality of life in many functional and symptomatic aspects.

Ostomy time and nutrition status were associated on quality of life in patients with colorectal cancer / Tempo de estomia e estado nutricional são associados com a qualidade de vida em pacientes com câncer colorretal

ABSTRACT Introduction: Colorectal cancer frequency increases each year and consequently the number of ostomies, a procedure that helps in the treatment of colorectal cancer but has an impact on quality of life. Studies evaluating the impact of ostomy time and nutritional status on the quality of life of colostomized patients with colorectal cancer are scarce in the literature. So, the aim of this study was to evaluate the association ostomy time and nutritional status on quality of life in colostomized colorectal cancer patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 97 colostomized patients due to colorectal cancer from a reference service. Socioeconomic, demographic, clinical data were obtained. European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer questionnaires EORTC-QLQ30 and EORTC-QLQ-CR29 were used to analyse the quality of life. Statistical significance analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon's non-parametric or Chi-Square test. Results: Of the 97 individuals, 50.5% were female, 64.9% were over 60 years old, 67.4% have ostomy for less than 1 year. Half of the patients had some nutritional status inadequacy: 24.2% were malnourished, 17.9% overweight and 8.4% obese. Shorter ostomy time was associated with role function, blood or mucus in stools, stoma care problems and men's sexual interest, while malnutrition was associated with concern about weight. Conclusions: Ostomy time and nutrition status were associated with quality of life in some domains, such as role function, insomnia, appetite loss, abdominal pain, buttock pain, bloating, hair loss, taste loss have an impact together with the nutritional status on the quality of life in patients colostomized colorectal cancer.

RESUMO Introdução: A frequência do câncer colorretal aumenta a cada ano e, consequentemente, aumenta o número de estomias, procedimento que auxilia no tratamento do câncer colorretal, porém impacta na qualidade de vida. Estudos que avaliam o impacto do tempo de estomia e do estado nutricional na qualidade de vida de pacientes colostomizados com câncer colorretal são escassos na literatura. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a associação entre tempo de estomia e estado nutricional e qualidade de vida em pacientes colostomizados por câncer colorretal. Métodos: Participaram deste estudo transversal 97 pacientes colostomizados por câncer colorretal de um serviço de referência. Dados socioeconômicos, demográficos e clínicos foram obtidos. Os questionários da Organização Europeia para Pesquisa e Tratamento do Câncer EORTC-QLQ30 e EORTC-QLQ-CR29 foram utilizados para analisar a qualidade de vida. A análise de significância estatística foi realizada usando o teste não paramétrico Wilcoxon ou teste Qui-Quadrado. Resultados: Dos 97 indivíduos, 50.,5% eram do sexo feminino, 64.,9% tinham mais de 60 anos, 67.,4% com estomia há menos de 1 ano. Metade dos pacientes apresentava inadequação do estado nutricional: 24.,2% estavam desnutridos, 17.,9% sobrepeso e 8,4% obesos. O menor tempo de estomia foi associado ao desempenho funcional, sangue ou muco nas fezes, problemas em cuidar da estomia e interesse sexual dos homens, enquanto a desnutrição foi associada à preocupação com o peso. Conclusão: A cirurgia de estomia esteve associada à qualidade de vida em alguns domínios, como desempenho funcional, insônia, perda de apetite, dor abdominal, dor nas nádegas, perda de cabelo, perda do paladar, e tem um impacto junto ao estado nutricional da qualidade de vida em pacientes colostomizados por câncer colorretal.

Adapted Crusting Technique in Children with Peristomal Lesions: A Case Series.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the care of pediatric patients who had a gastrostomy and developed peristomal lesions and received a systematic single adapted crusting technique in a pediatric ICU in a tertiary Brazilian hospital. METHODS: An analysis of six cases presenting traumatic, noninfectious peristomal lesions with ostium enlargement resulting in gastric residual leaks. All six patients received the same treatment over 7 to 15 days. RESULTS: Lesion improvement was observed in all patients after 48 hours and considered attributable to the standard treatment recommended by ostomy professionals. CONCLUSIONS: The adapted crusting technique was effective in the treatment of children with peristomal lesions. This technique may be beneficial to other patient and organizational outcomes such as improving safety of care, decreasing pain and discomfort, reducing nursing workload and hospital costs, and improving quality of life.

Stomized children care practices: narratives of relatives.

OBJECTIVES: to understand the practices adopted by relatives regarding ostomized children care. METHODS: qualitative approach, conducted with 11 relatives of ostomized children. Methodological framework was used as narrative technique; NVivo® software for data categorization and information analysis; content analysis technique. RESULTS: participants revealed unpreparedness in dealing with children, lack of knowledge about handling materials and equipment inherent to ostomy and challenges faced in the daily life of children in school. They are unanimous in telling they feel encouraged and strengthened by receiving support from nurses in child care. They suggested the development of strategies to guide ostomized children care, such as educational material use. CONCLUSIONS: to understand family members' experience made it possible to support training and qualification of nursing professionals, and to establish priorities in care. Evidence found may contribute to reflections that aid health promotion and prevention of complications in ostomized children care.

Risk Factors for Prolonged Postoperative Ileus in Colorectal Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Prolonged postoperative ileus (PPOI) represents a frequent complication following colorectal surgery, affecting approximately 10-15% of these patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate the perioperative risk factors for PPOI development in colorectal surgery. METHODS: The present systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA Statement. PubMed, EMBASE, SciELO, and LILACS databases were searched, without language or time restrictions, from inception until December 2018. The keywords used were: Ileus, colon, colorectal, sigmoid, rectal, postoperative, postoperatory, surgery, risk, factors. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale and the Jadad scale were used for bias assessment, while the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach was used for quality assessment of evidence on outcome levels. RESULTS: Of the 64 studies included, 42 were evaluated in the meta-analysis, comprising 29,736 patients (51.84% males; mean age 62 years), of whom 2844 (9.56%) developed PPOI. Significant risk factors for PPOI development were: male sex (OR 1.43; 95% CI 1.25-1.63), age (MD 3.17; 95% CI 1.63-4.71), cardiac comorbidities (OR 1.54; 95% CI 1.19-2.00), previous abdominal surgery (OR 1.44; 95% CI 1.19, 1.75), laparotomy (OR 2.47; 95% CI 1.77-3.44), and ostomy creation (OR 1.44; 95% CI 1.04-1.98). Included studies evidenced a moderate heterogeneity. The quality of evidence was regarded as very low-moderate according to the GRADE approach. CONCLUSIONS: Multiple factors, including demographic characteristics, past medical history, and surgical approach, may increase the risk of developing PPOI in colorectal surgery patients. The awareness of these will allow a more accurate assessment of PPOI risk in order to take measures to decrease its impact on this population.

INCREASED OXIDATIVE STRESS IN THE BLOOD OF OSTOMY PATIENTS.

BACKGROUND: Ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates a stoma that aims to construct a new path for the output of feces or urine. The relationship of oxidative stress (OxS) markers in patients with ostomy is still poorly described. OBJECTIVE: The present study was aimed at investigating the changes in oxidative stress parameters in peripheral blood collected from ostomy patients when compared with a healthy control group. METHODS: It was evaluated 29 ostomy patients and 30 healthy control patients. The oxidative stress parameters evaluated were: lipid peroxidation [lipid hydroperoxide (LPO), 8-isoprostane (8-ISO) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE)], protein oxidation and nitration [carbonyl and 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT)] and DNA oxidation [8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHDG)] in serum from ostomy patients compared to health controls. RESULTS: The data showed an increase of LPO, 8-ISO, 4-HNE, 3-NT and 8-OHDG in serum collected from ostomy patients when compared to healthy controls. CONCLUSION: The findings support the hypothesis that ostomy triggers the oxidative stress observed in the blood collected from these patients.

[Biopsychosocial determinants of the labor inclusion process of the person with a stoma]. / Determinantes biopsicossociais do processo de inclusão laboral da pessoa estomizada.

This study focused the social determinants of people with an ostomy that facilitate and / or hamper their work inclusion. The objectives were to identify and analyze the difficulties and facilities for people with an ostomy for work inclusion. Descriptive exploratory, qualitative research, carried out with 20 stomized through semi-structured interviews, using the Thematic Content Analysis. The results revealed that the main difficulties of ostomy to step into the working environment were the loss of sphincter control, social isolation and lack of opportunities suitable to your health condition new jobs. The main facilitators were the creation of adapted toilets and flexible schedules. We conclude that the biopsychosocial changes caused by the presence of the stoma may hinder inclusion in the work of ostomy patients, however, with social support can be created flexible terms that help them in their return to work activities.

Tratamiento laparoscópica de la hernia paraostomal: En búsqueda de una nueva técnica / Laparoscopic repair of parastomal hernia: Searching for a new technique

Introducción: La hernia paraostomal es una complicación frecuente de los pacientes ostomizados. Se presenta en más del 50% de los casos, sin embargo, solo del 10 al 15% son sintomáticas y requieren tratamiento quirúrgico. Objetivo: Describir y analizar una técnica laparoscópica en la que combinamos la reparación anatómica con la colocación de una malla protésica. Material y Método: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de una base de datos diseñada en forma prospectiva del servicio de cirugía general del "The Western Pennsylvania Hospital". El período analizado fue de Agosto de 2006 a Octubre de 2007. Se incluyen los procedimientos electivos y aquellos pacientes con hernias paraostomales sintomáticos. Las variables analizadas fueron edad, sexo, estadía hospitalaria, complicaciones intraoperatorias, postoperatorias y recidivas. Resultados: Entre agosto del 2006 y diciembre del 2007 se operaron 6 pacientes con hernias paraostomales sintomáticas. Tres de ellos tenían una amputación abdominoperineal por cáncer de recto; dos proctocolectomías por Enfermedad Inflamatoria Intestinal (Colitis ulcerosa y Crohn), y una colectomía subtotal debido a colitis fulminante secundario a infección por Clostridium Difficile. No se registraron conversiones ni complicaciones intraoperatorias. Un paciente evolucionó con íleo postoperatorio, que revirtió con tratamiento médico. La estadía media hospitalaria fue de 4 días (Rango: 2-7 días). El seguimiento postoperatorio promedio fue de 5,8 meses (rango 1-18 meses). No hubo recidivas. Conclusión: Proponemos una técnica diferente para la reparación de la hernia paraostomal. Además de reducir y disecar el saco herniario, disminuimos el espacio muerto suturando el área que rodea al ostoma a la fascia, con la intención de disminuir la formación de seroma y/o recurrencia.

Background: Parastomal hernia is a common complication of stoma formation that has been reported in more than 50% of patients on long term follows up. Most of them do not require repair; however 10 to 15% will become symptomatic and will need surgical repair. Objective: To describe and analyzed a laparoscopic technique that combines both tissue and mesh repair. Material and Methods: Retrospective review of a prospective collected data from The Western Pennsylvania Hospital. We include all patients who underwent this novel laparoscopic approach of the paraostomal hernia from August 2006 to October 2007 at the Western Pennsylvania Hospital. The surgeries were performed electively and in symptomatic parastomal hernia patients. Data collected included demographies, length of hospital stay, complications and recurrence. Results: We performed 6 laparoscopic parastomal hernia repairs. Three patients had APR due to rectal cancer; two had a proctocolectomy due to Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn); and one patient had a subtotal colectomy due to fulminant Clostridium Difficile colitis. There were no conversions to open surgery and no intraoperative complications. One patient developed a postoperative ileus that resolved with a no operative treatment. The mean hospital stay was 4 days (Range: 2 to 7 days). The mean follow up period was 5.8 months (Median 3 month; range: 1-18 month). All patients are asymptomatic and without hernia recurrence. Conclusion: We propose a novel laparoscopic approach to the parastomal hernia. In addition to reducing and dissecting the hernia sac, we reduce the dead space by suturing the area around the stoma to the fascia, thus possibly reducing the incidence of seroma and recurrence.
