Name a common type of a conventional ostomy
ileostomy
colostomy
urostomy
Name a common type of alternate ostomy procedure
continent ileostomy
Pelvic pouch (IPAA)
Continent urostomy
orthotopic urinary diversion
Describe a conventional ileostomy
temporary or permanent
effluent is liquid to slightly pasty
Most common location is the RLQ
Describe a pelvic pouch (IPAA/ileal pouch anal anastomosis)
Internal ileal reservoir created from distal small bowel.
Continence is achieved by sphincter and pelvic floor muscles.
Goal is to avoid the need for a pouch.
Who are candidates for a pelvic pouch?
Patient with mucosal ulcerative colities (MUC) and FAP (Familial adenomatous polyposis)
Describe a continent ileostomy
Internal intestinal reservoir created from distal small bowel.
CANDIDATES are pts with mucosal ulcerative colitis; failed pelvic pouch or inadaquate shincters for pelvic pouch.
Continence is achieved by nipple valve created by intusseption and/or plication of the terminal ileum.
What is the main indication for a colostomy?
Cancer
Describe what to expect with a cecostomy
Output- semi liquid to pasty
May be projectile effluent (due to proximity to ileocecal valve)
Watch for electrolye imbalance
Located in RLQ
Function begins around 3rd post op day
Describe what to expect with an ascending colostomy.
semi liquid to pasty effluent
Watch for fluid and electrolyte imbalance
RLQ
Function 3rd day post op
What can you expect with a transverse colostomy
Output is pasty to semi solid
Frequently located in mid abdomen
Functions around 4th day post op
Describe descending/sigmoid colostomy
Most common.
Output is semi-solid to formed
Absorption/manufacture of Vit K & folic acid is not affected
LLQ
Functions around 7th day post op.
May be irrigated.
What is the #1 cause of bladder CA?
Smoking
Name the types of urostomies.
Vesicostomy
Ureterostomy
Nephrostomy
Conduits: ileal, sigmoid, jejunal
Continent urinary diversion
Orthotopic urinary diversions
Describe a vesicostomy
Bladder wall is everted and sutured to the skin.
Located: suprapubic region
Describe a ureterostomy
Ureter is exteriorized to the anterior or posterior (flank) abdomen
Describe the condition of Biliary Atresia
Pathologic obliteration of the extra hepatic bile ducts.
Kasai procedure is the surgery commonly performed.
Exstrophy of the Cloaca
Failure of the abdominal wall to close exposing intestinal and urinary organs.
Surgery: Colostomy or ileostomy
Familial Adenomatoeus Polyposis Coli (FAP)
Autosomal dominant inherited condition characterized by intestinal, especially colon, dysplasia. Adenoma is cell most affected.
Surgery: Pelvic pouch or ileal rectal anastomosis.
Hirshprungs Disease
Intestinal defect characterized by the absense of ganglion cells resulting in a non-relaxation phase of peristalsis.
Surgery: swenson pull-through
Imperforate Anus
Abnormal patency and/or ectopic location of the anus
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Strikes most often between 15 and 35 years of age. Has been diagnosed in children as young as 2 years.
Mucosal Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammation of mucosal layer of colon.
Characterized by bloody diarrhea and failure to thrive.
Surgery: Pelvic Pouch or subtotal colectomy and end ileostomy
Crohn's Disease
Transmural inflammation that can affect entire GI tract.
Characterized by diarrhea, abdominal pain and failure to thrive.
Meconium Ileus
Intestinal obstruction due to abnormal, putty like meconium.
Seen in 10-15% of neonates with cystic fibrosis
Surgery: Temporary ileostomy and flushing of colon
Necrotizing Enterocolitis
Segment of gangrenous bowel.
Occurs in 3-8% of premature infants weighing less than 2000 grams
Omphalocele
Herniation of abdominal contents through the umbilical base with the amniotic membrane covering the contents.
Surgery: Possible temporary ileostomy with abdominal closure.
Volvulus
Torsion of a loop of intestine.
Surgery: Possible temporary ileostomy with bowel resection.
Extrophy of the bladder
Failure of anterior abdominal wall to fuse, resulting in exposure of everted bladder epithelium
Surgery: Bladder reconstruction or urinary diversion.
Posterior Urethral Valves
Results in bladder outlet obstruction or impediment to flow of urine.
Surgery: Primary fulguration of the valves. Possible urinary diversion.
Prune-belly Syndrome
AKA: Eagle Barrett Syndrome
Absence of abdominal musculature resulting in varying degrees of distortion of the urinary system.
In males, undescended testes.
Hydroureter
Surgery: Abdominalplasty.
Usually temporary ureterostomies.
Spina Bifida (Myelomeningocele)
Defect in the fusin of the bony spine with associatied spinal cord involvement.
