POP DSFP (sorry i couldnt make a decent mnemonic)

  1. Parastomal hernia
  2. Obstruction (adhesions/herniation)
  3. Prolapse
  4. Dermatitis
  5. Stricture

17
Q

What are 3 key features of stoma rehabilitation?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Aim for a normal diet
  2. Good skin care and cleanliness
  3. Psychosexual support
18
Q

How do you classify stomas?

Study These Flashcards
A

Depending on Anatomical Location (x8)

  1. Tracheostomy
  2. Gastrostomy
  3. Jejunostomy
  4. Ileostomy
  5. Caecostomy
  6. Appendicostomy
  7. Colostomy
  8. Urostomy
19
Q

What is a urostomy?

Study These Flashcards
A

A surgically created opening in the abdominal wall through which urine passes

20
Q

What are the 2 types of urostomy?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Ileal conduit (incontinent)

2. Indiana pouch (continent)

21
Q

What is an ileal conduit?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Ureters are attached to a portion of resected ileum which is exteriorised as a spouted stoma
  2. Bowel continuity is maintained by a primary anastomasis
  3. Urine is collected in a bag
22
Q

What is an Indiana pouch?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. A pouch created from approx 2ft of resected ascending colon and portion of ileum which includes the ileocaecal valve
  2. The ureters are anastomosed to colonic end and the ileal end is exteriorised as a spouted stoma
  3. The ileocaecal valve prevents urinary leakage from the pouch
  4. Pt self-catheterises to drain the pouch
23
Q

What are the indications for a urostomy?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Most commonly after a cystectomy for Bladder Ca
  2. Severe CKD
  3. Accidental damage to urinary tract
  4. Congenital defects that cause urine to backup
  5. Urinary incontinence
24
Q

What are the 5 indications for a stoma?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Exteriorisation
  2. Diversion
  3. Decompression
  4. Feeding
  5. Lavage
25
What are the possible indications for an exteriorised stoma?
1. Perforated/contaminated bowel e.g. Hartmann's | 2. Permanent e.g. AP resection
26
What are the possible indications for a diverted stoma?
1. Protection of distal anastomosis (e.g. Contamination (faecal peritonitis), Anatomical (ileorectal anastomosis)) 2. Acute Crohn's 3. Urinary diversion following cystectomy
27
What is the indication for a decompressive stoma?
Bypass of a distal obstructing lesion
28
What are the indications for a feeding stoma?
Gastrostomy/Jejunostomy
29
What are the indications for a lavage stoma?
Appendicostomy
30
What is an appendicostomy?
1. Formation of a conduit between the umbilicus and the colon via the appendix, used most commonly in paediatrics to allow frequent enemas in children to ease constipation 2. Indications = Spina Bifida, Hirschprung's, Spinal Injuries, Constipation 3. A.k.a Malone procedure
31
What is the definition for a stoma?
Artificial union between conduits or between a conduit and the outside
32
When is a Hartmann's procedure most commonly performed?
For a perforated diverticulitis
33
What is a double-barrelled colostomy?
If after an a resection it is thought unsafe to join the bowel ends together, but the distal end is long enough, both ends might be brought out to the surface
34
What is the spiel for examining a stoma?
I would like to thoroughly examine the stoma by removing the bag, checking its contents, inspecting the lumen and the surrounding skin
35
What is the description for a normal colostomy?
There is a stoma in the LIF, with a single lumen which is flushed with the skin. It appears healthy with no associated surrounding skin changes. There is a concurrent midline laparotomy scar. This is most likely an end colostomy which may be a result of a Hartmanns.
36
What is a stoma?
An artificial union between conduits or between a conduit and the outside
37
5 things to ask in a stoma history?
1. Surgery 2. Output 3. Pain 4. Complications 5. Psychosexual function
