RESUMO
AIM: To present the Danish Stoma Database Capital Region with clinical variables related to stoma creation including colostomy, ileostomy and urostomy. METHOD: The stomatherapists in the Capital Region of Denmark developed a database covering patient identifiers, interventions, conditions, short-term outcome, long-term outcome and known major confounders. The completeness of data was validated against the Danish National Patient Register. RESULTS: In 2013, five hospitals included data from 1123 patients who were registered during the year. The types of stomas formed from 2007 to 2013 showed a variation reflecting the subspecialization and surgical techniques in the centres. Between 92 and 94% of patients agreed to participate in the standard programme aimed at handling of the stoma and more than 88% of patients having planned surgery had the stoma site marked pre-operatively. CONCLUSION: The database is fully operational with high data completeness and with data about patients with a stoma from before surgery up to 12 months after surgery. The database provides a solid basis for professional learning, clinical research and benchmarking.

The aim of this article was to investigate the frequency, severity and diversity of peristomal skin disorders among individuals with a permanent stoma in a community population. All individuals with a permanent stoma (n=630) in a Danish community population were invited to participate in a cross-sectional study. A total of 202 individuals (101 men; 101 women) agreed to participate. Data were collected through questionnaires and clinical examinations. It was found that peristomal skin disorders were higher for participants with an ileostomy (57%) and urostomy (48%) than in those with a colostomy (35%). Of the diagnoses of skin disorders, 77% could be related to contact with stoma effluent. Only 38% of diagnosed participants agreed that they had a skin disorder and more than 80% did not seek professional health care. The study revealed a high frequency of peristomal skin disorders. Participants frequently failed to perceive that they had a skin irritation and did not seek help. This suggests that more education and perhaps regular, annual follow-up visits at local stoma care clinics are needed.

A very high postoperative morbidity is seen after conventional open abdominoperineal excision of the rectum. The use of laparoscopic technique for this operation implies theoretical benefits, but only sparse clinical data have been published and advantages have not yet been convincingly documented. In the light of our experiences with laparoscopic colonic resections in high-risk patients and in two patients with abdominoperineal excision we propose the following perioperative regime for elderly patients undergoing rectal excision: Laparoscopic operation followed by continuous epidural analgesia, opioid-free pain treatment, restricted administration of fluids perioperatively, early enteral nutrition and enforced mobilisation as well as intensified training in colostomy care-that should already be started preoperatively. Preliminary results suggest that morbidity and the need for hospital stay can be considerably reduced by such an approach. A prospective evaluation of this strategy on the immediate postoperative results will be followed by long-term results concerning survival, local recurrence rates, distant metastases and the risk of port-site metastases.
