V-Y closure for abdominal wall stomal reduction.

H D Edington, M T Lotze

    Surgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics
    |April 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Large abdominal stomas can cause appliance fitting issues and patient distress. A skin excision and V-Y closure technique simplifies stoma management, improving patient comfort and appliance use.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical techniques
    • Ostomy management
    • Abdominal wall reconstruction

    Background:

    • Large abdominal wall stomas pose challenges for ostomy appliance fitting.
    • Improper appliance fit can lead to significant patient morbidity and embarrassment.
    • Existing management strategies may be complex or invasive.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a simple surgical technique for managing large abdominal wall stomas.
    • To assess the efficacy of skin excision and V-Y closure in improving stoma appliance fit and patient comfort.
    • To determine if this method avoids extensive abdominal surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • A skin excision and V-Y closure technique was employed.
    • The procedure focuses on modifying the abdominal stoma site.
    • Minimally invasive approach, avoiding laparotomy and extensive intestinal manipulation.

    Main Results:

    • The V-Y closure technique successfully reduced stoma size.
    • Improved ostomy appliance fitting was reported by patients.
    • Enhanced patient comfort and simplified stoma management were observed.
    • The procedure was technically straightforward and avoided major abdominal surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • Skin excision and V-Y closure is an effective and simple method for managing large abdominal wall stomas.
    • This technique improves patient quality of life by facilitating appliance use and reducing discomfort.
    • It offers a less invasive alternative to other stoma revision procedures.
