Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of people with ostomy and the adaptive domains of Roy's theory: A cross-sectional study.

INTRODUCTION: The adaptation of people with ostomies may be associated with and affected by sociodemographic and clinical factors. The present study aimed to investigate the association between the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and the adaptation of people with an intestinal stoma. METHOD: An analytical study, carried out through an interview with 200 patients with ostomy for five months. For that, it was applied to scale for the level of adaptation of ostomy patients to measure the physiological domains, self-concept, role function and interdependence and a questionnaire was used in which sociodemographic and clinical information. Descriptive and multivariate analyses were performed to test the study hypothesis. RESULTS: The study pointed out statistically significant associations with male sex, age group below 60, low education level, Stoma time less than one year, below one minimum wage, temporary permanence criteria and presence of complications relation to low scores of adaptation. CONCLUSIONS: The association of sociodemographic and clinical factors with the measured adaptive modes provides important information for the planning of nursing care and other care providers, since it directs actions to the aspects that give greater adaptive difficulty to people with stomas and which are the focus of care nursing to this clientele.

Epidemiological characterization of patients with intestinal stomas

Objective: To characterize the sociodemographic and clinical variables of people with intestinal stomas. Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study with 47 patients of a Specialized Rehabilitation Center (CER II/APAE) in the municipality of Três Lagoas, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Midwestern Brazil, from December 2019 to June 2020. Data was analyzed using inferential descriptive statistics (Anderson-Darling, Chi-squared, and Mann-Whitney normality tests). Results: Regarding the patients, 87.23% were from Três Lagoas, 51.06% were female, 40.43% were aged from 60 to 69 years, 59.57% were married, 53.19% were brown, 59.57% were catholic, 36.17% finished elementary school, 46.81% were retired, and 57.45% earned a monthly income below 1 minimum wage. Moreover, 61.70% had undergone terminal colostomy (61.70%), 61.70% had received guidance about its placing, 57.45% had it placed due to situations of urgency, 74.47% had a stoma installed due to a neoplasia, 38.30% were permanent, with 46.81% located in the inferior left quadrant (ILQ), 59.57% presented pasty effluent, 63.83% had a circular diameter, 53.19% had pouches with 2 pieces and 57.45%, with a flexible base, 87.23% had other adjunct equipment, and 95.74% had been trained in self-care. The most common complication was skin/peristomal irritant contact dermatitis (59,57%), and 65,95% of these cases were solved by teaching self-care. The type of stoma was significantly associated with the consistency of the effluent and the size of the protrusion (p> 0.05). Conclusion: The results found can support strategies to implement practices to promote health, develop new public policies, to provide training in self-care, and prevent and treat complications.

Damage control surgical management of combined small and large bowel injuries in penetrating trauma: Are ostomies still pertinent?

Hollow viscus injuries represent a significant portion of overall lesions sustained during penetrating trauma. Currently, isolated small or large bowel injuries are commonly managed via primary anastomosis in patients undergoing definitive laparotomy or deferred anastomosis in patients requiring damage control surgery. The traditional surgical dogma of ostomy has proven to be unnecessary and, in many instances, actually increases morbidity. The aim of this article is to delineate the experience obtained in the management of combined hollow viscus injuries of patients suffering from penetrating trauma. We sought out to determine if primary and/or deferred bowel injury repair via anastomosis is the preferred surgical course in patients suffering from combined small and large bowel penetrating injuries. Our experience shows that more than 90% of all combined penetrating bowel injuries can be managed via primary or deferred anastomosis, even in the most severe cases requiring the application of damage control principles. Applying this strategy, the overall need for an ostomy (primary or deferred) could be reduced to less than 10%.

El trauma de las vísceras huecas representa una gran proporción de las lesiones asociadas al trauma penetrante. Actualmente, las lesiones aisladas de intestino delgado o colon se manejan a través de anastomosis primaria en pacientes sometidos a laparotomía definitiva o anastomosis diferida en pacientes que requieran cirugía de control de daños. El dogma quirúrgico tradicional de la ostomía se ha probado que es innecesario y en muchos casos puede aumentar la morbilidad. El objetivo de este artículo es describir la experiencia obtenida en el manejo de lesiones combinadas de vísceras huecas de pacientes con trauma penetrante. Se determinó que el manejo primario o diferido del intestino a través de anastomosis es el abordaje quirúrgico preferido en pacientes que presentan lesiones penetrantes combinadas de intestino delgado y colon. Se ha reportado que el 90% de lesiones combinadas penetrantes intestinales pueden ser manejadas a través de anastomosis primaria o diferida incluso en los casos más severos requieren la aplicación de los principios de control de daños. Aplicando esta estrategia, la tasa general para ostomía (primaria o diferida) puede ser reducida a menos del 10%.

A novel technique for superficial complicated stomas using the Dacron vascular prosthesis.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Despite the advances achieved in surgical techniques in recent years, an intestinal stoma is still needed in many patients undergoing colorectal surgery. However, the intestinal stoma may be associated with serious complications and the need for a second surgical procedure. In extreme cases, when it is not possible to access the abdominal cavity, the management of a complicated stoma is challenging. The purpose of this study was to describe the use of a Dacron vascular prosthesis (DVP) in patients with intestinal stoma complications. METHODS: In patients with a shallow, superficial stoma or mucocutaneous separation (MCS), we sutured the prosthesis in the intestinal loop (at the edge of an intestinal fistula) to create a device to direct the fecal content to the collection bag. RESULTS: We included 9 patients in this series (colorectal cancer, n = 5; Crohn's disease, n = 2; giant abdominal hernia and morbid obesity, n = 2). The results obtained were promising since they showed good evolution in patients with severe intestinal complications and an impossibility of surgical correction of the stoma. Five patients presented complete healing, and two patients presented partial healing. There were two deaths caused by sepsis, which were not related to the surgical procedure. With this technique, there was a reduction in the leakage of intestinal contents into the peritoneal cavity and an increase in the healing of the peristomal dermatitis in most of the patients. The DVP could possibly represent a surgical alternative in selected patients with complicated stomas when surgical correction may not be a suitable option. CONCLUSIONS: The authors recommend this technique for selected complex cases of stoma complications after unsuccessful attempts to adapt collecting equipment. The placement of the DVP allowed the peristomal skin to heal and improved the contamination of the peritoneal cavity.

Practical insights into stomas in inflammatory bowel disease: what every healthcare provider needs to know.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Despite advances in medical and surgical therapy in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) management, intestinal stomas can be needed in a significant proportion of patients. The impact of stomas in patients' lives is significant, and the topic is still challenging for different specialties involved in IBD care. RECENT FINDINGS: Indications for intestinal ostomies in IBD can occur in elective (malnutrition, anemia, or previous steroids) or emergency (perforation, abdominal abscess, obstruction) settings. Different types of stomas can be used (loop, end, or double loop ostomies) depending on different clinical scenarios. Ileostomies are more frequently needed in IBD patients than colostomies, which may be associated with higher rates of recurrence in Crohn's disease. Only 16.6% of patients with diverting stomas for perianal Crohn's disease have successful transit restoration, and stomas become permanent. Prevention of complications is based on adequate preoperative demarcation and meticulous surgical technique. IBD stoma-related morbidity can occur in up to 70% of patients, are more common in Crohn's disease, and can be classified into early or late complications. SUMMARY: A multidisciplinary approach including gastroenterologists, surgeons, and stoma nurses is essential for IBD patients who will face the challenge of having a stoma during their disease course.

A Four-step Technique for Effluent Diversion of Enteroatmospheric Fistulas.

BACKGROUND: Isolation of the enteroatmospheric fistula (EAF) opening and prevention of contamination of the rest of the wound by effluent are important factors in the management of EAF. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to describe an easily reproducible technique for effluent control in patients with EAF. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on all patients who underwent the present technique between 2013 and 2015. The surgical technique included condom-EAF anastomosis, fistula ring creation, negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), and adaptation of an ostomy bag. RESULTS: A total of 7 patients with a Björck grade 4 abdomen were included. All fistulas were located in the small bowel with a median number of 2 EAFs (range, 2-3) in each patient, and the majority had moderate output volume. The mean number of NPWT changes was 10 (range, 5-18), the mean time of NPWT use was 75.7 days (range, 60-120 days), and the mean length of stay was 108.2 days (range, 103-160 days). The mean time of ostomy formation to restitution of bowel continuity was 14.3 months (range, 8-20 months). Open anterior component separation was employed in all cases for closure of the abdominal wall. No mortality, ventral herniation, or refistulization was registered in the study. The mean follow-up time was 8.5 months (range, 6-12 months). CONCLUSIONS: This is an easily reproducible and safe technique for effluent control in patients with Björk grade 4 abdomen with established EAF.

Comparison of overall survival and quality of life between patients undergoing anal reconstruction and patients undergoing traditional lower abdominal stoma after radical resection.

BACKGROUND: Miles procedure is often necessary for patients with low rectal carcinoma. However, this operation often affects the quality of life of patients, to evaluate the advantages of improved operation (anal reconstruction), the quality of life and survival between patients undergoing anal reconstruction and patients undergoing traditional lower abdominal stoma after radical resection were analyzed. METHODS: The clinical data of 43 patients with low situated rectal carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed. 23 patients with left lower abdominal stoma after radical resection (Miles procedure) were divided into group A, and 20 patients with reconstruction of the anus in situ after radical resection were in group B. All patients were investigated by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 and QLQ-CR38 questionnaire, the clinical data are recorded. Independent sample T test was used to analyze the difference in quality of life between group A and group B at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery, and Kaplan-Meier was used to compare the difference in overall survival between group A and group B. RESULTS: The results of T test showed that there were statistical significance in global health status and physical functioning between group A and group B at 3 and 6 months, but no statistical significance at 12 months (P = 0.024, P = 0.019, P = 0.115 for global health status; P = 0.004, P = 0.006, P = 0.065 for physical functioning, respectively). Emotional functioning and social functioning were also statistically significant between group A and group B at 3, 6, and 12 months (P = 0.041, P = 0.040, P = 0.034 for Emotional functioning; P = 0.020, P = 0.009, P = 0.032 for social functioning, respectively). This study also found that there was no statistical significance in body image and sexual functioning between group A and group B at 3 months, but there was statistical significance at 6 and 12 months(P = 0.098, P = 0.035, P = 0.045 for body image; P = 0.110, P = 0.048, P = 0.047 for sexual functioning, respectively). There were statistically significant about sexual enjoyment and defecation problems at 3, 6, and 12 months (P = 0.023, P = 0.028, P = 0.050 for sexual enjoyment; P = 0.013, P = 0.011, P = 0.050 for defecation problems, respectively).The results of Kaplan-Meier showed that the overall survival (OS) between group A and group B was not statistically significant (χ2 = 0.600, P = 0.439). CONCLUSIONS: There was no difference in survival time between group A and group B, but compared with the patients with left lower abdominal stoma(group A), the quality of life was better in patients with reconstruction of the anus in situ (group B). It is significant to improve the traditional lower abdominal stoma operation.

Temporary abdominal closure techniques in managing open abdomen help to achieve many benefits without incurring many complications. We present a series of patients in which a temporary abdominal closure technique was used that generates continuous medial fascial traction dynamic in patients with open abdomen for different causes.

Reconstrução de trânsito intestinal: fatores que influenciam a realização / Bowel transit reconstruction: factors that influence the implementation

Objetivou-se identificar os fatores que influenciam na reconstrução do trânsito intestinal em pessoas com estoma provisório. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo­analítico, quantitativo, participaram 117 pessoas com estoma provisório, que foram entrevistados, abordando aspectos sociodemográficos, clínicos e motivo da não reconstrução do estoma até o momento da coleta dos dados, foi realizada análise descritiva das variáveis, com aplicação de testes para verificar a existência de relação entre os motivos de demora para reconstrução com as demais variáveis. A maioria era do sexo masculino, a neoplasia predominou como patologia que determinou a construção do estoma, as cirurgias foram de urgência, sendo a colectomia a mais frequente. A idade influencia tanto na causa do estoma como na não reconstrução, assim como a presença de comorbidades e a persistência da causa pré-cirúrgica, o que leva à reflexão sobre a importância de ações de promoção de saúde e prevenção de doenças intestinais.

The objective of this study was to identify the factors that influence bowel transit reconstruction in people with a temporary stoma. This was a descriptive-analytical, quantitative study, involving 117 people with a temporary stoma who were interviewed about the sociodemographic and clinical aspects and the reason for the lack of stoma reconstruction up to the time of data collection. A descriptive analysis of the variables was performed, with tests being applied to verify the existence of a relationship between the reasons for the delay in reconstruction and other variables. Most participants were male, and neoplasia predominated as the pathology requiring the creation of the stoma. The surgeries were urgent, with colectomy being the most frequent. Age affects both the cause of the stoma and the lack of reconstruction, as well as the presence of comorbidities and the persistence of the preoperative cause, leading to reflection on the importance of health promotion actions and the prevention of intestinal diseases.

Psychological aspects of patients with intestinal stoma: integrative review.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze evidences of psychological aspects of patients with intestinal stoma. METHOD: integrative review with search of primary studies in the PsycINFO, PubMed, CINAHL and WOS databases and in the SciELO periodicals portal. Inclusion criteria were: primary studies published in a ten-year period, in Portuguese, Spanish or English, available in full length and addressing the theme of the review. RESULTS: after analytical reading, 27 primary studies were selected and results pointed out the need to approach patients before surgery to prevent the complications, anxieties and fears generated by the stoma. The national and international scientific production on the experience of stomized patients in the perioperative moments is scarce. CONCLUSION: it is recomendable that health professionals invest in research on interventions aimed at the main psychological demands of stomized patients in the perioperative period, respecting their autonomy on the decisions to be made regarding their health/illness state and treatments.

Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Inhibitors Did Not Influence Postoperative Morbidity After Elective Surgical Resections in Crohn's Disease.

BACKGROUND: The real impact of anti-tumor necrosis alpha (TNF) therapy in postoperative complications after intestinal resections in Crohn's disease (CD) still needs to be determined. AIMS: To compare the postoperative complication rates after elective intestinal resections in CD patients, with or without previous exposure to anti-TNF therapy. METHODS: This was a retrospective and observational study, with elective intestinal resections for CD (emergency procedures were excluded). Patients were allocated in two groups according to preoperative anti-TNF status. Surgical and medical complications were analyzed and subsequently compared between the groups. RESULTS: A total of 123 patients were included (71 with and 52 without preoperative anti-TNF). The groups were considered homogeneous, except for perianal CD, previous azathioprine, and stomas. There was no significant difference between the groups regarding overall surgical complications (32.69% in anti-TNF- vs. 39.44% in anti-TNF+ patients, p = 0.457) or overall medical complications (21.15 vs. 21.13%, respectively, p = 1.000). In univariate analysis, previous steroids, perianal CD, and stomas were considered risk factors for surgical complications, and previous steroids and hypoalbuminemia for medical complications. In multivariate analysis, previous steroids were associated with higher rates of surgical and medical complications, while hypoalbuminemia was associated with higher medical complication rates. CONCLUSIONS: There was no influence of the previous use of anti-TNF agents in postoperative surgical and medical complication rates in elective intestinal resections for CD. Previous steroids and hypoalbuminemia were associated with higher complication rates. This was the first case series of the literature describing outcomes in exclusively elective operations.

Enteral High Fat-Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Blend Alters the Pathogen Composition of the Intestinal Microbiome in Premature Infants with an Enterostomy.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of enteral fish oil and safflower oil supplementation on the intestinal microbiome in infants with an enterostomy born premature. STUDY DESIGN: Infants with an enterostomy born premature were randomized to receive early enteral supplementation with a high-fat polyunsaturated fatty acid (HF-PUFA) blend of fish oil and safflower oil vs standard nutritional therapy. We used 16S rRNA gene sequencing for longitudinal profiling of the microbiome from the time of study entry until bowel reanastomosis. We used weighted gene coexpression network analysis to identify microbial community modules that differed between study groups over time. We performed imputed metagenomic analysis to determine metabolic pathways associated with the microbial genes. RESULTS: Sixteen infants were randomized to receive enteral HF-PUFA supplementation, and 16 infants received standard care. The intestinal microbiota of infants in the treatment group differed from those in the control group, with greater bacterial diversity and lower abundance of Streptococcus, Clostridium, and many pathogenic genera within the Enterobacteriaceae family. We identified 4 microbial community modules with significant differences between groups over time. Imputed metagenomic analysis of the microbial genes revealed metabolic pathways that differed between groups, including metabolism of amino acids, carbohydrates, fatty acids, and secondary bile acid synthesis. CONCLUSION: Enteral HF-PUFA supplementation was associated with decreased abundance of pathogenic bacteria, greater bacterial diversity, and shifts in the potential metabolic functions of intestinal microbiota.

The limited prognostic value of liver histology in children with biliary atresia.

UNLABELLED: Background and rationale for the study. The aim of the study was to determine the prognostic value of histopathological findings with special care to the severity of liver fibrosis at the moment of hepatoportoenterostomy (HPE) in children with biliary atresia (BA). We performed analysis of 142 wedge liver biopsies taken at the time of HPE. All patients were operated by the same surgical team between 1995 and 2007. According to the outcome 6 months after HPE patients were divided into prognostic groups: group 1-bilirubin level < 2 mg% (n = 65), group 2-bilirubin level > 2 mg% (n = 77). Liver biopsies were re-evaluated according to the extended histopathological protocol and then were compared between the prognostic groups. Survival with native liver (SNL) estimates were performed in regard to severity of liver fibrosis. RESULTS: Survival with native liver estimates after 2, 5 and 10 years in patients after successful operation were 96%, 91%, 75% vs. 30%, 11%, and 5% if operation failed (p < 0.001). There was no difference between groups in the following variables: fibrosis (p = 0.69), portal inflammation (p = 0.99), lobular inflammation (p = 0.95), cholangiolitis (p = 0.23), accumulation of bile pigments (zone 1:p = 0.49; zone 2:p = 0.51; zone 3:p = 0.48), bile plugs in canaliculi (p = 0.12), bile plugs in ducts (p = 0.32), bilirubinostasis in hepatocytes (p = 0.45), bile ductular proliferation (p = 0.59), ductal plate malformation (p = 0.12), focal necrosis (p = 0.44), giant cell transformation (p = 0.45), haematopoesis (p = 0.52), ductopenia (p = 0.46), microabscesses (p = 0.49), ballooning of hepatocytes (p = 0.08). The actuarial 5/10-year SNL was not dependent on severity of liver fibrosis (log-rank test p = 0.84). The severity of fibrosis corresponded neither with the age at HPE nor with the laboratory findings before operation but increased the risk of portal hypertension. CONCLUSION: Liver histology at the time of HPE is of limited value in prognosis making in BA.
