Abstract
Fecal ostomy creation is a commonly performed procedure with many indications. Better outcomes occur when preoperative patient education and stoma site marking are provided. Despite a seemingly simple operation, ostomy creation is often difficult and complications are common. Certain risk factors, particularly obesity, are strongly associated with stoma-related complications. The ability to optimize the ostomy and stoma in the operating room and to troubleshoot frequently encountered post-operative stoma-related issues are critical skills for surgeons and ostomy nurses alike.

Int J Colorectal Dis 2023; 38:238. [PMID: 37747515 DOI: 10.1007/s00384-023-04523-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Stoma formation is a commonly performed procedure both during and following colorectal surgery. When designed correctly, stomas can dramatically improve patients' quality of life, but the reverse may occur when complications arise. Given the significant negative impact of complications following stoma formation, understanding risk factors that may be mitigated pre-operatively is important. METHOD A systematic search of publications using MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Cochrane databases was conducted in May 2022. Data was extracted and a narrative synthesis undertaken. The evidence-based librarianship (EBL) checklist assessed the methodological quality of the included studies. The systematic review includes various research designs such as randomised controlled trials (RCT), case-control studies, and observational cohort studies written in English. Reviews, conference papers, opinion papers, and those including participants < 18 years old were excluded. No restrictions on the date of publication and study setting were applied. RESULTS This review included 17 studies, conducted between 2001 and 2020. The study designs were prospective audit, prospective analysis, retrospective analysis, longitudinal analysis and multivariate analysis of self-reported questionaires/surveys. Twenty-two possible risk factors for the development of stoma complications following stoma formation were identified. These include demographical risk factors, underlying medical condition, type of surgery, elective vs emergency surgery, stoma factors, surgical factors, indications for surgery and factors which may impact healing. Furthermore, high BMI, emergency surgery, and stoma type were identified as the most frequently occurring risk factors. CONCLUSION Given the large number of risk factors identified, the implementation of a risk stratification tool may decrease the incidence and prevalence of stoma complication development. This, in turn, would decrease the associated healthcare-related costs, and negative impact on mortality, length of stay and quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peristomal necrosis is a rare but challenging condition requiring multidisciplinary management involving surgical debridement and intensive WOC nurse management. CASE Mr T was a 56-year-old man who underwent cytoreductive surgery with intraperitoneal chemotherapy for a high-grade appendiceal neoplasm. As part of the procedure, an Abcarian stoma (end-ileostomy with a distal lumen from the transverse colon brought out flush with skin beside the proximal stoma) was created. Postoperatively there was leakage of effluent under the subcutaneous skin resulting in full-thickness necrosis of the peristomal area requiring surgical debridement. Consequently, a large peristomal skin defect occurred, resulting in difficulty achieving a good seal of the ostomy pouching system. To overcome these challenges, a multidisciplinary approach with WOC nurses, colorectal surgeons, and plastic surgeons was implemented. Initially, the defect was managed with a negative pressure wound therapy system, followed by a primary closure of the peristomal skin by the plastic surgeons. Mr T was discharged to home 58 days after his initial surgery; by that time, the peristomal skin was healed and he was able to manage ostomy pouching changes independently. Eight months later his ileostomy was successfully reversed. CONCLUSIONS Large peristomal defects are challenging but can be managed successfully via a multidisciplinary approach including WOC nurses, colorectal surgeons, and plastic surgeons.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present systematic review aimed to identify, critically assess and summarize which risk factors might determine the onset of ostomy complications, describing a pooled incidence and stratified incidences by each identified risk factor. METHODS A systematic literature review with a meta-analysis of observational studies was performed by following the PRISMA statement and flow chart. The quality assessment of the included articles was performed through the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). RESULTS Sixteen articles published between 1990 and 2018 focused on the risk factors related to intestinal stomal complications, and the performed analysis led to identifying influenceable and non-influenceable risk factors. The median of the NOS evaluation was 6 (IQR = 5.75-6). Among 10,520 included patients, the pooled incidence of stomal complications was 35%, ranging from 9% to 63%, regardless of the nature of the complications. Analysis of the sub-groups highlighted obesity and ostomy surgery performed via laparoscopy or emergency conditions have significant incidences, respectively, of 66% and 68%. CONCLUSIONS The pooled incidence of stomal complications requires greater attention for its relevant epidemiology. From the clinical point of view, patients with obesity and chronic conditions require more attention to prevent complications, possibly employing accurate educational interventions to enhance proper stoma management.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ostomy creation is often an integral part of the surgical management of various diseases including colorectal malignancies and inflammatory bowel disease. Stoma and peristomal complications may occur in up to 70% of patients following ostomy surgery. The aim of this scoping literature review was to synthesize evidence on the risk factors for developing complications following creation of a fecal ostomy. DESIGN Scoping literature review. SEARCH STRATEGY Two independent researchers completed a search of the online bibliographic databases PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane, Google Scholar, and EMBASE for all articles published between January 1980 and December 2018. The search comprised multiple elements including systematic literature reviews with meta-analysis of pooled findings, randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, observational studies, other types of review articles, and multiple case reports. We screened 307 unique titles and abstracts; 68 articles met our eligibility criteria for inclusion. The methodological rigor of study quality included in our scoping review was variable. FINDINGS/CONCLUSIONS We identified 6 risk factors associated with an increased likelihood of stoma or peristomal complications (1) age more than 65 years; (2) female sex; (3) body mass index more than 25; (4) diabetes mellitus as a comorbid condition; (5) abdominal malignancy as the underlying reason for ostomy surgery; and (6) lack of preoperative stoma site marking and WOC/ostomy nurse specialist care prior to stoma surgery. We also found evidence that persons with a colostomy are at a higher risk for prolapse and parastomal hernia. IMPLICATIONS Health care professionals should consider these risk factors when caring for patients undergoing fecal ostomy surgery and manage modifiable factors whenever possible. For example, preoperative stoma site marking by an ostomy nurse or surgeon familiar with this task, along with careful perioperative ostomy care and education of the patient by an ostomy nurse specialist, are essential to reduce the risk of modifiable risk factors related to creation of a fecal ostomy.

Abstract
Intestinal stomas are necessary for several colon and rectal conditions and represent a major change in the new ostomate's daily life. Though dehydration is the most frequent etiology requiring readmission, irritant contact dermatitis and a host of other peristomal skin conditions are more common complications for ostomates. Wound, ostomy, and continence nurses are invaluable resources to both ostomy patients and providers. A few simple interventions can prevent or resolve most common peristomal complications. Good stoma care is possible in a resource-poor environment.

Abstract
PURPOSE The current study aims to analyze the risk factors for the failure of ileostomy reversal after laparoscopic low anterior resection for rectal cancer. METHODS All patients who underwent a laparoscopic low anterior resection for rectal cancer with a diverting ileostomy between 2007 and 2014 were abstracted. The patients who underwent and did not undergo a diverting ileostomy procedure were compared regarding patient, tumor, treatment related parameters, and survival. RESULTS Among 160 (103 males [64.4%], mean [± standard deviation] age was 58.1 ± 11.9 years) patients, stoma reversal was achieved in 136 cases (85%). Anastomotic stricture (n = 13, 52.4%) was the most common reason for stoma reversal. These were the risk factors for the failure of stoma reversal: Male sex (P = 0.035), having complications (P = 0.01), particularly an anastomotic leak (P < 0.001), or surgical site infection (P = 0.019) especially evisceration (P = 0.011), requirement for reoperation (P = 0.003) and longer hospital stay (P = 0.004). Multivariate analysis revealed that male sex (odds ratio [OR], 7.82; P = 0.022) and additional organ resection (OR, 6.71; P = 0.027) were the risk factors. Five-year survival rates were similar (P = 0.143). CONCLUSION Fifteen percent of patients cannot receive a stoma reversal after laparoscopic low anterior resection for rectal cancer. Anastomotic stricture is the most common reason for the failure of stoma takedown. Having complications, particularly an anastomotic leak and the necessity of reoperation, limits the stoma closure rate. Male sex and additional organ resection are the risk factors for the failure in multivariate analyses. These patients require a longer hospitalization period, but have similar survival rates as those who receive stoma closure procedure.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Stoma-related complications and problems in stoma care are common after gastrointestinal surgery requiring the construction of a stoma. The frequency and types of such complications and problems were evaluated in a patient cohort operated on in Oulu University Hospital. Material and Methods: A detailed questionnaire concerning clinical problems and stoma care was mailed to 163 stoma patients operated on during the years from 1995 to 2001 in Oulu University Hospital. One hundred and nineteen patients (70 percent) answered the questions adequately. The clinical variables concerning stoma complications and the patients' symptoms, problems with stoma care and adaptation to the situation were recorded. Special attention was paid to the patients' general wellbeing and social problems. Results: Thirty-five patients (30%) had stoma complications, most commonly parastomal hernias (18 cases). Patients with an ileostomy had more difficulties with stoma handling more often than the patients with a colostomy. Seventy-eight patients (66%) were well adapted to their stoma, including 49 (72%) of the patients with a colostomy and 25 (56%) of the patients with an ileostomy. Of the 41 non-adapted patients, 12 did not accept their altered body image, ten had problems in social life and nine had difficulties because of faecal leakage. The quality of life analysis of 114 patients showed that their physical condition was better than before the operation in 55 cases (48%), unchanged in 16 (14%) and worse in 43 (38%). General mental health was better than before the operation in 52 cases (46%), unchanged in 23 (20%) and worse in 39 (34%) patients. Social functioning had improved after stoma surgery in 38 cases (34%), remained unchanged in 27 (24%) and deteriorated in 46 (42%) patients after stoma surgery. Patients with a colostomy reported worse subjective physical condition, mental health and social functioning than the patients with an ileostomy. Conclusions: Two-thirds of the patients had adapted to their stoma. The patients with an ileostomy had difficulties in stoma handling and the patients with a colostomy reported their physical, mental and social wellbeing to be affected.

Abstract
The formation of a stoma is an essential part of many colorectal operations. Despite the frequency with which these surgeries are performed and the number of specialists involved in stoma care, complications are still common. This article investigates the most common complications, explains the reasons for their occurrence and suggests potential management options. Common stoma complications were identified by the colorectal/ stoma clinical nurse specialist (CSCNS) and a literature search was performed using a variety of online databases, including Medline and CINAHL using the keywords stoma, complications, prolapse, ischaemia, retraction, hernia and stenosis. Articles used were selected on the basis of relevance to the topic. The commonest complications of stomas included skin irritation, prolapse, retraction, ischaemia, hernia and stenosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated whether extraperitoneal colostomy without damaging the muscle layer of the abdominal wall is an improved surgical procedure compared with conventional sigmoid colostomy in patients undergoing abdominoperineal resection. METHODS Patients with rectal cancer undergoing abdominoperineal resection were selected and randomly divided into two groups: the study group received extraperitoneal colostomy without damaging the muscle layer of the abdominal wall and the control group received conventional colostomy. Clinical data from both groups were analysed. RESULTS A total of 128 patients were included: 66 received extraperitoneal colostomy without damaging the muscle layer of the abdominal wall and 62 received conventional colostomy. Significant differences between the two groups were found in relation to colostomy operating time, defaecation sensation, bowel control and overall stoma-related complications. Duration of postoperative hospital stay was also significantly different between the study groups. CONCLUSIONS Extraperitoneal colostomy without damaging the muscle layer of the abdominal wall was found to be an improved procedure compared with conventional sigmoid colostomy in abdominoperineal resection, and may reduce colostomy-related complications, shorten operating time and postoperative hospital stay, and potentially improve patients' quality of life.

Abstract
Aim. Loop ileostomy has high complication rates and causes much patient inconvenience. This study was performed to compare the outcome of tube versus loop ileostomy in management of ileal perforations. Patients and Methods. From July 2008 to July 2011, all patients with ileal perforation on laparotomy where a defunctioning proximal protective loop ileostomy was considered advisable were chosen for study. Patients were randomly assigned to undergo either tube ileostomy or classical loop ileostomy as the diversion procedure. Tube ileostomy was constructed in the fashion of feeding jejunostomy, with postoperative saline irrigation. Results. A total of 60 diversion procedures were performed over the period with 30 for each of tube and loop ileostomy. Typhoid and tuberculosis formed the most common etiology for ileal perforation. The complication rate of tube ileostomy was 33%. Main complications related to tube ileostomy were peritubal leak, tube blockage. In patients with loop, overall complications in 53% majority were peristomal skin irritation and wound infection following ileostomy closure. Two patients developed obstruction following ileostomy closure which needed reoperation. Conclusions. Tube ileostomy is effective and feasible as a diversion procedure and has reduced morbidity. It can be used as an alternative to loop ileostomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Single-port laparoscopic surgery has been described for various colorectal conditions. Here, we report the first 4 single-port laparoscopic sigmoid colostomies for fecal diversion. METHODS A 1.5-cm-round incision was made on the skin at a previously marked colostomy site. A wound retractor was inserted and an access platform with four 5-mm trocars was attached to the wound retractor. The sigmoid colon was mobilized using electrocautery, laparoscopic scissors, or an advanced bipolar device. A standard Brooke colostomy was created through the initial skin incision. RESULTS Four elective single-port laparoscopic diverting colostomies were performed. Indications included obstructing colon and rectal cancers and intractable Crohn's proctitis. The average operative time was 73 minutes (range, 53-105), and blood loss was minimal (<50 mL). There were no intraoperative complications. Three of 4 patients received oral analgesia, and one patient received patient-controlled intravenous analgesia postoperatively. The average time to passage of flatus was 1 day. Diet was advanced either on the day of surgery or on postoperative day 1. The length of hospital stay ranged from 0 to 15 days. CONCLUSION Single-port laparoscopic sigmoid colostomy is an effective technique that allows full intra-abdominal visualization and colonic mobilization while eliminating the need for additional skin incisions other than the colostomy site itself.

Abstract
AIM The study aimed to identify the incidence of early stoma problems after surgery for colorectal cancer to identify predisposing factors and to assess the effect on discharge from hospital and the greater need for community stoma care. METHOD A prospective study of 192 patients was carried out over a six-month period in the 13 units of the Greater Manchester and Cheshire Cancer Network. Stoma problems were categorized into fistula, leakage, pancaking, necrosis, retraction, separation, stenosis, skin problems, parastomal hernia, suboptimal stoma site and need for resiting or refashioning. Differences in incidence between units (anonymized) were analysed, and the effect of stoma complications on length of hospital stay and the need for additional community stoma care was determined. RESULTS One hundred and ninety-two patients with stomas were included, of which 52 (27.1%) were identified as being problematic (range 0-66.7% between units). Significant risk factors included stoma type (colostomy) (P < 0.05), short stoma length (P = 0.006), higher BMI (P = 0.043), emergency surgery (P = 0.002) and lack of preoperative site marking (P < 0.001). Problematic stomas were associated with longer hospital stay (P < 0.001) and increased community care (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Stoma type, stoma length, body mass index, emergency surgery and lack of preoperative marking were significant risk factors. Overall complication rates compare favourably with other studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE Among long-term (>or=5 y) colorectal cancer survivors with permanent ostomy or anastomosis, we compared the incidence of medical and surgical complications and examined the relationship of complications with health-related quality of life. BACKGROUND The incidence and effects of complications on long-term health-related quality of life among colorectal cancer survivors are not adequately understood. METHODS Participants (284 survivors with ostomies and 395 survivors with anastomoses) were long-term colorectal cancer survivors enrolled in an integrated health plan. Health-related quality of life was assessed via mailed survey questionnaires from 2002 to 2005. Information on colorectal cancer, surgery, comorbidities, and complications was obtained from computerized data and analyzed by use of survival analysis and logistic regression. RESULTS Ostomy and anastomosis survivors were followed up for an average of 12.1 and 11.2 years, respectively. Within 30 days of surgery, 19% of ostomy survivors and 10% of anastomosis survivors experienced complications (P < .01). From 31 days on, the percentages were 69% and 67% (after adjustment, P < .001). Bleeding and postoperative infection were common early complications. Common long-term complications included hernia, urinary retention, hemorrhage, skin conditions, and intestinal obstruction. Ostomy was associated with long-term fistula (odds ratio, 5.4; 95% CI 1.4-21.2), and among ostomy survivors, fistula was associated with reduced health-related quality of life (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Complication rates remain high despite recent advances in methods of surgical treatment. Survivors with ostomy have more complications early in their survivorship period, but complications among anastomosis survivors catch up after 20 years, when the 2 groups have convergent complication rates. Among colorectal cancer survivors with ostomy, fistula has especially important implications for health-related quality of life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A literature search did not produce any evidence-based objective criteria to determine which patients with locally advanced rectal cancer would benefit from a defunctioning stoma prior to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Our criteria for formation of a defunctioning stoma are: faecal incontinence and inability to cannulate the tumour at colonoscopy. The aim of this study was to examine whether these current criteria are appropriate. METHOD Forty-nine consecutive locally advanced rectal cancer patients treated from February 2003 to November 2006 were identified from our colorectal database. All received long-course chemoradiotherapy (Bossett regimen) and definitive surgery was performed 6-8 weeks later. RESULTS Of the 49 patients, 31 presented with diarrhoea and two with faecal incontinence; nine patients were defunctioned by trephine stoma prior to treatment [cannulation impossible at colonoscopy (n = 8); faecal incontinence (n = 1)]. One patient with faecal incontinence refused early defunctioning stoma. Median hospital stay was 12 days (interquartile range: 7-30), and complications included pneumonia (n = 1) and peristomal cellulitis (n = 2). Of the 40 patients who went directly to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, two subsequently required a defunctioning stoma for severe diarrhoeal symptoms during therapy. Eight patients had worsening diarrhoeal symptoms but tolerated treatment. Three patients, who had stoma formation, did not proceed to definitive surgery following neoadjuvant therapy: poor operative fitness (n = 2) and disease progression (n = 1). CONCLUSION Stenosis causing inability to cannulate the tumour at colonoscopy and faecal incontinence were the only objective indications for an early defunctioning stoma. Worsening diarrhoea during therapy (unless severe) did not appear to be a good indication for a defunctioning stoma.

Abstract
The creation of intestinal stomas for diversion of enteric contents is an important component of the surgical management of several gastroenterologic disease processes. Despite the frequency with which these procedures are performed, complications of stoma creation remain common, despite extensive measures aimed at reducing them. Early postoperative complications (those seen less than one month postoperatively) can lead to significant cost, both financially and psychologically, and incur significant morbidity. Commonly seen early postoperative stomal complications include improper stoma site selection, vascular compromise, retraction, peristomal skin irritation, peristomal infection/abscess/fistula, acute parastomal herniation and bowel obstruction, and pure technical errors. The author reviews these early complications associated with stoma creation, discusses means of preventing them, and outlines the management strategy for such complications when they do occur.

Abstract
Management of surgically placed ostomies is an important aspect of any general surgical or colon and rectal surgery practice. Complications with surgically placed ostomies are common and their causes are multifactorial. Parastomal ulceration, although rare, is a particularly difficult management problem. We conducted a literature search using MD Consult, Science Direct, OVID, Medline, and Cochrane Databases to review the causes and management options of parastomal ulceration. Both the etiology and treatments are varied. Different physicians and ostomy specialists have used a large array of methods to manage parastomal ulcers; these including local wound care; steroid creams; systemic steroids; and, when conservative measures fail, surgery. Most patients with parastomal ulcers who do not have associated IBD or peristomal pyoderma gangrenosum (PPG) often respond quickly to local wound care and conservative management. Patients with PPG, IBD, or other systemic causes of their ulceration need both systemic and local care and are more likely to need long term treatment and possibly surgical revision of the ostomy. The treatment is complicated, but improved with the help of ostomy specialists.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of end colostomy complications and the evaluation of factors influencing outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS Three hundred and thirty patients with end colostomy were studied. All patient were recalled for examination for recent complications. Early complications included stoma site pain, early dermal irritation (during the first month after surgery), mucosal bleeding, stomal prolapse and psychosocial complications. Late complications included peristomal hernia, stomal stenosis, late dermal irritation (after the first month), stomal retraction, stomal necrosis and other stoma complications (perforation, fistula etc.). Probable underlying factors were studied. To evaluate risk factors affecting complications, univariable analysis and then multivariable analysis by binary logistic regression was performed. RESULTS One hundred and one (30.6%) patients had no complications and the remainder had at least one of early or late complications. Overall, psychosocial complications, 56.4%; mucosal bleeding, 34.5%; early dermal irritation, 23.5% were the most frequent complications. Peristomal hernia (11.2%) was the most common late complication. Those aged > 40 years had significant associations with psychosocial problem (OR = 2.77), mucosal haemorrhage (OR = 2.19), and early dermal irritation (OR = 3.14). The risks of peristomal hernia and early dermal irritation are greater in the patients with BMI > 25 kg/m2 (OR = 2.08 and 2.55, respectively). CONCLUSION The risk of most prevalent complications of colostomy construction increases in elder patients. The high prevalence of psychosocial and skin problems in patients with a colostomy, needs special attention especially from the viewpoint of education by trained stoma nurses and preparation of standard equipment.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was designed to assess the costs and outcomes of colostomy and colostomy reversal in patients with diverticulitis and examine the impact of such procedures on the health care system. METHODS We employed a retrospective design and used a Washington State administrative database to identify patients undergoing operations with colostomy (1987-2002) who were followed over time. Descriptive and comparative analysis was performed, focusing on patients with diverticulitis. RESULTS There were 16,556 patients who underwent colostomy and 5,420 (32.7 percent) were for diverticulitis and its related complications (mean age, 64.8 +/- 15.1 years; 53.2 percent female). In patients with diverticulitis, the rate of colostomy reversal was 56.3 percent (80 percent in patients less than 50 years, and 30 percent in patients over 77 years). The in-hospital mortality rate after colostomy reversal was 0.36 percent, and was 2.6 percent in those over 77 years of age. After colostomy reversal a second stoma was used in 3.4 percent, reoperation was required for bleeding complications in 0.6 percent, and infectious complications were noted in 2 percent. The length of time from colostomy to its reversal was approximately five months (138.1 +/- 164 days; interquartile range, 72-156). The relationship between the length of time from colostomy to reversal was evaluated and the adjusted odds of a second stoma being used at the time of colostomy reversal were 45 percent higher (odds ratio, 1.45; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.22, 1.73) for each increase in time interval (<3, 6-9, 9-12, >12 months). CONCLUSIONS One-third of all colostomies were related to diverticulitis and only 56 percent were reversed. We identified a higher than expected mortality rate among older patients undergoing colostomy reversal. The impact of colostomy and reversal operations on both patients and the health care system is significant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Idiopathic constipation is a rare indication for ileostomy construction. The aim of the study was to evaluate the success of ileostomy in treatment of severe constipation. Also to analyse the surgical complications and re-operation rate to identify any factors potentially predictive of outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective study analysed the long-term outcome of 24 ileostomies constructed for constipation. The ileostomy construction was performed in 13 patients during large bowel/rectum resection, in 6 after a full laparotomy and in 5 through an abdominal wall trephine alone. We analysed the surgical complications and the re-operation rate according any factors potentially predictive of outcome. RESULTS One (4%) patient had persistent constipation after stoma creation. Surgical complications occurred in 11 (46%): retraction in 6 (25.0%), peristomal sepsis in 3 (12.5%) and parastomal hernia in 2 (8.1%). Refashioning of the stoma was necessary in 7 (29%) patients. Previous abdominal surgery, end ileostomy, ileostomy constructed after large bowel resection or laparotomy were associated with a significantly higher incidence of stomal complications while age, duration of follow up, major complication and ileostomy created after bowel resection were associated to a significantly higher re-operation rate (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis identified end ileostomy and ileostomy created after bowel resection as independent risk factors for surgical complication and re-operation, respectively (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Ileostomies were associated with a high frequency of complications, but most could be managed by minor surgical interventions. Patients who are considered for an ileostomy for severe idiopathic constipation should, where possible, have a loop ileostomy through a trephine rather than a laparotomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE The ileal conduit is held to be the safest and simplest form of urinary diversion. There are few reports about long-term problems after ileal conduit formation, especially intractable urinary incontinence in females. We reviewed long-term stomal complications in patients with an ileal conduit. MATERIALS AND METHODS Notes on 93 consecutive patients in whom an ileal conduit was created were reviewed. Information was collected on patient demographics, indications for an ileal conduit and long-term complications, in particular parastomal and incisional hernias, stomal retraction, stenosis or prolapse and the development of a redundant loop. Mean followup available was 63.4 months (range 1 to 434). RESULTS A total of 33 males with a mean age of 60.1 years (range 2 to 78) and 60 females with a mean age of 48.2 years (range 4 to 79) underwent ileal conduit diversion. The main indications for an ileal conduit were intractable incontinence in 44 patients (47%), cancer in 31 (33%) and interstitial cystitis in 8 (9%). In male, continent female and incontinent female patients A parastomal hernia developed in 3 (9%), 2 (9.5%) and 12 (31%), an incisional hernia developed in 1 (3%), 1 (4.8%) and 2 (5%), stomal retraction developed in 0, 2 (9.5%) and 12 (31%), stomal stenosis developed in 0 (0%), 1 (4.8%) and 6 (15.4%), and a redundant loop developed in 0 (0%), 2 (9.5%) and 5 (12.8%), respectively. A total of 23 patients (24.7%) required further surgery for stomal problems with 13 (57%) requiring more than 1 reoperation, of whom 9 were incontinent females. CONCLUSIONS An ileal conduit is associated with a stomal complication rate of 34.4% (61% in incontinent females and 18% in other patients) and a 4.3% incisional hernia rate. Reoperation is required for stomal complications in 24.7% of cases. Stomal complication rates and reoperation rates vary by sex and the indication for ileal conduit, and they are significantly higher for those performed for intractable urinary incontinence in females.

Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the impact of advanced age on outcome after hepatectomy, gastrectomy and pancreatoduodenectomy.
METHODS: Two hundreds and eleven patients undergone hepatectomy, gastrectomy and pancreatoduodenectomy from January 1998 to September 2002 were analyzed retrospectively. Clinicopathologic features and operative outcome of 83 patients aged 65 years or more were compared with that in 128 younger patients aged less than 65 years.
RESULTS: The nutritional state, such as pre-operation level of serum albumin and hemoglobin in the older patients was poorer than that in the younger patients. The older patients had higher comorbidities than the younger patients (48.2% vs 15.6%). No significant difference was observed in perioperative mortality, and complication rate between the older and younger patients (2.4% vs 1.6% and 22.9% vs 20.3%, respectively). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that pancreatoduodenectomy, hepatectomy with resection of more than 2 segments and comorbidities were independent predictors of postoperative complication, whereas age was not (P = 0.3172).
CONCLUSION: It is safe for patients aged 65 years or more to undergo hepatic, pancreatic and gastric resection if great care is taken during perioperative period.
