Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management01:21

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

731
Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders01:20

Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders

1.3K
Gastrointestinal or GI motility disorders are characterized by irregular gastrointestinal tract movements, disrupting food transit from the mouth to the anus. They are caused by damage or dysfunction in gut muscles or nerves. These disorders can cause symptoms such as severe constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and swallowing difficulties. Disorders can affect any segment of the GI tract and range widely in severity, from common conditions like GERD to life-threatening conditions like...

Assessment of the Rectum and Anus

1.4K
Evaluating the rectum and anus plays a crucial role in conducting a thorough physical examination of the gastrointestinal system. Although it may be uncomfortable and often embarrassing for the patient, it holds immense diagnostic value, particularly in detecting gastrointestinal diseases and abnormalities. This guide will explain how to perform this assessment using inspection and palpation methods.
Rectal Inspection
Begin by inspecting the perianal and anal areas for color, texture, rashes,...

Ostomy Care01:24

Ostomy Care

2.3K
Introduction
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:

Esophageal Strictures-I: Introduction01:30

Esophageal Strictures-I: Introduction

960
Esophageal strictures involve abnormal narrowing or tightening of the esophagus. They vary in length and severity, ranging from mild constriction to complete obstruction, and are classified as benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
Etiology
The primary cause of esophageal strictures is long-standing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), accounting for about 70 to 80% of adult cases. Chronic acid reflux can lead to injury and scarring of the esophageal lining, culminating in...

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

805
Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
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...

Summary

Children with intestinal dysmotility face a high risk of ileostomy prolapse. Intestinal manometry may help identify at-risk patients before surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Stoma care

Background:

  • The link between intestinal motility and ileostomy prolapse is suspected but lacks objective evidence.
  • Ileostomy prolapse is a significant complication in pediatric patients requiring ostomy surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To objectively evaluate the association between intestinal dysmotility and the occurrence of ileostomy prolapse in children.
  • To determine if intestinal manometry findings correlate with clinical assessments of dysmotility and stoma prolapse risk.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 163 pediatric patients with ileostomies.
  • Patients classified by clinical diagnosis or suspicion of intestinal dysmotility.
  • Analysis of intestinal manometry results (normal vs. abnormal) and correlation with stoma prolapse incidence.

Main Results:

  • Clinical diagnosis of dysmotility and abnormal manometry were independently associated with stoma prolapse (p ≤ 0.001 and p = 0.024, respectively).
  • Prolapse rates were higher in patients with dysmotility (42%) compared to suspected (34%) or unlikely dysmotility (24%).
  • One-year prolapse-free survival was significantly lower in the dysmotility group (45%) versus others (p = 0.006).

Conclusions:

  • Children with diagnosed intestinal dysmotility are at significantly increased risk for ileostomy prolapse.
  • Intestinal manometry can aid in identifying pediatric patients with high prolapse risk preoperatively.
  • Early identification and management strategies may be warranted for children with intestinal dysmotility and ileostomies.
