Stoma care

There are a range of conditions that may require stoma formation including anorectal malformations, Hirschsprung disease, intestinal atresia, necrotizing enterocolitis, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer, bowel obstruction and spontaneous ileal perforation.  The stoma formation may be in response to a single congenital malformation or in the context of a more complex condition or injury.  In some situations, the stoma may be closed prior to discharge from hospital, alternatively  the patient may be discharged home with the stoma

 

Post-operative management of the child depends on their age, underlying condition and the procedure performed and may include monitoring of fluids and electrolytes, as well as management of nutrition and pain relief.  Another  focus of care is the successful re introduction of enteral feeding.  The success of enteral feeding is dependent on multiple factors, including the pre-operative condition and age.  Post-operative complications may be related to wound healing ability, length and type of gut retained, further deterioration of surviving gut, stricture formation and sepsis, as well as individual characteristics.  Each of these may impact on the child’s hospital journey.
