A novel technique using umbilical tape secures the bowel during laparoscopic stoma formation, preventing twisting and ensuring correct limb maturation. This simple method reduces rare but significant complications like stoma obstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic stoma formation is a common alternative to open surgery with generally low morbidity.
  • Complications such as bowel twisting or maturing the wrong limb can occur.
  • A simple technique is presented to mitigate these specific laparoscopic stoma complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a straightforward technique for laparoscopic stoma formation.
  • To reduce the incidence of bowel twisting and incorrect limb maturation during the procedure.
  • To prevent postoperative complications like stoma or small bowel obstruction.

Main Methods:

  • A locking, non-traumatic grasper secures the bowel segment for exteriorization.
  • The grasper handle is attached to the trocar with cotton umbilical tape, creating a unified unit.

  • The umbilical tape's alignment indicates bowel orientation; twisting is corrected by aligning tape with the instrument shaft.

    • Main Results:

    • The described technique effectively prevents twisting of the bowel during laparoscopic stoma creation.
    • Ensures correct orientation and maturation of the bowel segment for stoma formation.
    • Reduces the risk of rare but serious postoperative stoma or small bowel obstruction.

    Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopic stoma formation is an effective treatment for various disorders with low overall morbidity.
    • The presented technique offers a simple solution to reduce specific complications associated with laparoscopic stoma formation.
    • This method enhances the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic stoma procedures.
