Surgery team consulted
Decision made for laparotomy due to surgical
abdomen
6. OR
• Large amount of pus
• Perforated sigmoid colon
• Sigmoidectomy and Hartman’s pouch
• Colostomy
13. Introduction
• 100, 000 undergo operations resulting in a
colostomy or ileostomy
• Cancer, diverticulitis and IBD
• High rates of complications compared with
common surgical procedures
• 37 % in elective, 55% in emergency
• Morbidity varies among hospitals
14. Morbidity
• Negative effects on quality of life
• Long term morbidity related to ostomy care
• Half of ostomies are problematic: Prolonged
medical care, increased health costs
• Prolonged length of stay
• Increased need for outpatient care
• Vary by hospital
• Exacerbated by poor construction, siting, surgical
complications, and poor perioperative care
15. Guideline
• Surgical care of patients requiring an ostomy
• Choice of ostomy type
• Technical aspects of creation and closure
• Prevention and management of ostomy
complications
• Perioperative care
16. Outline
• Ostomy creation
• Ostomy closure
• Complications: Prevention and management
• Evidence for the value of an ostomy nurse
18. Ostomy Creation
• Performed for benign or malignant diseases
• Created under elective or emergency
conditions
• Fashioned from small or large bowel
• Considered temporary or permanent
• Made during curative or palliative intent
operations
20. Guideline 1
• When feasible, laparoscopic ostomy
formation is preferred to ostomy formation via
laparotomy. Grade of Recommendation:
Strong recommendation based on low-quality
evidence, 1C.
21. Advantages
• Reduced pain and narcotic requirements
• Shorter hospitalization
• Earlier return of bowel function
• Fewer overall complications relative to open
• Easier to reverse
22. Technical Considerations
• 2 to 3 trocars can be used including one
positioned through the premarked ostomy site
• Rate of conversion: 0-16%
• Avoid twisting the exteriorized bowel for s loop
ostomy
• Avoid kinking the mesentery for an end ostomy
• Mark proximal and distal ends and repeat
insufflation to confirm correct orientation
23. Trephine Ostomy
• Small incision at the planned ostomy site
• Performed under regional anesthesia
• Success rates: 89-94%
• Acceptable short term results compared to
laparoscopic technique for fecal diversion
24.
25. Guideline 2
• Loop ileostomy is preferred over transverse
loop colostomy for temporary fecal diversion
in most cases. Grade of Recommendation:
Weak recommendation based on moderate-
quality evidence, 2B.
26. Comparison
• Both effectively divert the fecal stream and
minimize the consequences of anastomotic
dehiscence
• Similar overall complication rates but different
profiles
• Colostomy: Wound infection, sepsis, stomal
prolapse
• Ileostomy: Post ileostomy closure bowel
obstruction, ileus, high output, higher admission
rates
27. Guideline 3
• Whenever possible, both ileostomies and
colostomies should be fashioned to protrude
above the skin surface. Grade of
Recommendation: Strong recommendation
based on low-quality evidence, 1C.
28. Evidence
• Surgical technique highly influences incidence of stoma
complications
• Surgeon controlled: Height or protrusion above the skin
• Strong association between stoma protrusion and ability of
the patient to successfully care for the ostomy
• Ileostomy: At least 2 cm over skin surface
• Colostomy: At least 1 cm
• Avoid ostomies that flush with the skin
• Techniques:
-Mesenteric vessel ligation
-End loop ostomies
-Upper abdominal sites for obese patients
29. Guideline 4
• When using a support rod for a loop ostomy,
a flexible or rigid ostomy rod may be used.
Grade of Recommendation: Weak
recommendation based on low-quality
evidence, 2C.
30. Guideline 5
• Use of antiadhesion materials may be
considered to decrease adhesions at
temporary ostomy sites. Grade of
Recommendation: Weak recommendation
based on moderate-quality evidence, 2B.
31. Evidence
• 4% of patient with loop ileostomies require
laparotomy for closure
• Carboxymethylcellulose with hyaluronate:
-Significantly fewer adhesions around the limbs of
ileostomy
-No difference in closure operative times
• Sprayable hydrogel barrier:
-Reduction in adhesion score
-Reduction in total operative time by 6 minutes
32. Guideline 6
• Lightweight polypropylene mesh may be
placed at the time of permanent ostomy
creation to decrease parastomal hernia rates.
Grade of Recommendation: Strong
recommendation based on moderate-quality
evidence, 1B.
33. Evidence
• Significantly lower rates of parastomal hernia
occurrence when synthetic mesh was placed
at time of ostomy creation
• Mesh type: Partially absorbable, lightweight
polypropylene, with large pore size
• Durable results 5 years after ostomy creation
• Conventional vs prosthetic mesh: 81% vs 13%
• Bioprosthetic material: Limited data
34. Guideline 7
• Extraperitoneal tunneling of end colostomies
may decrease parastomal hernia rates. Grade
of Recommendation: Weak recommendation
based on low-quality evidence, 2C.
35. Evidence
• Lower risk of parastomal hernia occurrence
6.4% vs 13.3%
• Can be used by laparoscopic technique
36. Guideline 8
• For patients with a new ileostomy,
postoperative care pathways may prevent
hospital readmission for dehydration. Grade of
Recommendation: Strong recommendation
based on low-quality evidence, 1C.
37. Evidence
• Dehydration affects 30% of patient, is a major
cause of morbidity and the most common reason
of readmission
• Postoperative care pathways:
-Patient education
-Patient self-care empowerment
-Standardized discharge criteria
-Tracking input and output after discharge
-Visiting nurse education
-Early follow up
38. Ostomy Closure
• A second operation required in case of
temporary ileostomies and colostomies to
restore intestinal continuity
• 17% morbidity and 0.4% mortality rate
• 4% require laparotomy, 7% develop bowel
obstruction
39. Timing of Closure
• Insufficient evidence to a guideline
• Studies suggest safety of selective early
(within 3 weeks) and late strategies depending
on clinical circumstances
• Early closure associated with reduced hospital
stay, bowel obstruction and medical
complications but increased wound infection
rates
40. Guideline 1
• Stapled and hand-sutured techniques are
both acceptable for loop ileostomy closure.
Grade of Recommendation: Strong
recommendation based on moderate-quality
evidence, 1B.
41. Evidence
• Similar results
• Higher bowel obstruction and operative time
rates in hand sewn group
• Addition of laparoscopy showed a lower
complication rate and shorter length of stay
but longer operative time (15 min)
42. Guideline 2
• Ostomy-site skin reapproximation should be
performed when feasible, and pursestring skin
closure may have advantages compared with
other techniques. Grade of Recommendation:
Strong recommendation based on moderate-
quality evidence, 1B.
43. Evidence
• Ostomy closure wounds are traditionally left
open to heal by secondary intention
• Can be closed completely or partially
• Less requirement for prolonged wound packing
• Techniques:
-Pursestring closure
-Linear closure
-Delayed primary closure
-Wound packing
-Closure over a drain
44. Guideline 3
• Laparoscopic Hartmann reversal is a safe
alternative to open reversal in experienced
hands. Grade of Recommendation: Strong
recommendation based on low-quality
evidence, 1C.
45. Evidence
• Documented safety in observational studies
• Lower complication rates, lower blood loss,
shorter hospital stay
• No difference in leak rates or mortality
47. Guideline 1
• Parastomal hernia repair should typically be
performed by using mesh reinforcement or by
relocating the stoma. Grade of
Recommendation: Strong recommendation
based on low-quality evidence, 1C.
48. Evidence
• Observational retrospective studies: Primary
suture results in a 70% risk or recurrent hernia
• Mesh or relocation is necessary for patients fit
for laparotomy or laparoscopy
• Relocation may be necessary in very large
hernias due to residual soft tissue defect
• In reversible ostomies, closure is an indication
in case of parastomal hernia
49. Guideline 2
• Prosthetic mesh may be used during
parastomal hernia repair with low short-term
risk of intestinal erosion or mesh infection.
Grade of Recommendation: Strong
recommendation based on low-quality
evidence, 1C.
50. Evidence
• Use of prosthetic mesh on open bowel has
been discouraged historically due to fear of
contamination and infection
• Infection rates range from 2.2-2.6%
• Techniques:
-Onlay: Highest recurrence rates
-Retromuscular
-Intraperitoneal using keyhole technique
51. Guideline 3
• Bioprosthetic material may be used as an
alternative to synthetic mesh for repair of
parastomal hernias. Grade of
Recommendation: Weak recommendation
based on lowquality evidence, 2C.
52. Evidence
• Collagen based bioprosthetic grafts are
commonly used in the setting of gross
contamination
• Recurrence rate: 7-27%
53. Guideline 4
• Laparoscopic parastomal hernia repair with
mesh may be a safe alternative to open mesh
repair. Grade of Recommendation: Strong
recommendation based on low-quality
evidence, 1C.
54. Evidence
• Observational studies established feasibility
and similar recurrent rates to open mesh
repair
• Techniques:
-Sugarbaker: Underlay with stoma limb exiting
through the mesh lateral to defect
-Keyhole/slit: 1 or 2 pieces of mesh with an
aperture cut for stoma limb as it exits abdominal
wall. Higher recurrence rates
55. Evidence for the Value of an Ostomy
Nurse
• All ostomy patients require education, training and
psychological support to successfully adapt to ostomy-
related self care
• Ostomy-related problems such as skin irritation and
leak are common and patients require medical
assistance to manage these problems
• Absence of adequate care may result in patients not
developing self-care skills
• 84% of cancer patients reported technical difficulties
• Emotional, social and marital problems may develop in
addition to increased health care needs
56. Evidence
• Health care professionals in general are not
comfortable managing ostomy-related problems
• Questionnaires of general practitioners and
nurses confirm that they do not have adequate
training to provide complete care to patients with
ostomies
• They rely on ostomy nurse specialists
• Site selection varies among non-specialist
surgeons and specialist surgeons
57. Guideline 1
• Ostomy education should have a preoperative
and postoperative component, and should
involve a specialized provider, such as a WOCN
nurse when possible. Grade of
Recommendation: Strong recommendation
based on moderate-quality evidence, 1B.
58. Evidence
• Benefit of perioperative education by an ostomy
nurse
• Decreased hospital stay
• Decreased need for unplanned healthcare
interventions post discharge
• Decreased time to ostomy care proficiency
• Decreased costs
• Fewer ostomy-related complications
• Highly valued by patients
59. Topics
• GI anatomy and physiology
• Planned surgical procedure
• Demonstration of appliances
• Description of lifestyle adjustments
• Psychological support
• Procedural training
• Nutrition
• Clothing, recreational and social issues
60. Guideline 2
• Preoperative ostomy site marking should be
performed by a trained provider whenever
possible. Grade of Recommendation: Strong
recommendation based on low-quality
evidence, 1C.
61. Evidence
• Several outcomes may be affected by ostomy
site marking
• Association between preoperative marking
and fewer problems
• Fewer ostomies that the patient cannot care
for
• Standard by ostomy nurse
• Surgeons should be trained and familiarized
62. Principles
• Use of multiple positions to identify adequate
sites: especially the sitting position
• Avoidance of folds and scars
• Consideration of clothing/beltline
• Siting within the rectus abdominis muscle
• Intraoperative circumstances may not allow
optimal siting in all situations
63. Guideline 3
• Follow-up care for ostomy teaching, care, and
support should be available to all patients.
Grade of Recommendation: Strong
recommendation based on low-quality
evidence, 1C.
64. Evidence
• Shorter hospital stays due to enhanced recovery
pathways providing less opportunity for ostomy
education and training
• Can be provided at home, outpatient, or
telephone setting
• Increased ability of patients to care for
themselves
• Fewer ostomy related problems and better
adjustment even for long term ostomy patients
