[Colostoma with reflex evacuation--a new approach in rehabilitation of stoma patients]
Abstract:
Involuntary evacuation of the stoma is the problem of social rehabilitation of stomed patients. In 17 patients during formation of colostoma reservoir-holding mechanism was created. Strain of parietal peritoneum led to subjective feelings predicting colostoma evacuation that were seen 10-20 min before defecation and presented as heaviness in projection of external end of stoma in 15 (88.2%) or elements of intestinal colic in 2 (11.8%) patients. This permitted 9 patients to control colostoma evacuation. Five (29.4%) patients demonstrated ability to control defecation for 10-15 min with tension of the muscles of the anterior abdominal wall.

Ostomy Care
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:

Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and solid...
