The Kock continent ileostomy--radiology of dysfunctions
Abstract:
Some patients who have undergone coloproctectomy due to colitis or polyposis with a continent ileostomy constructed ad modum Kock reveal postoperative, secondary abnormalities and dysfunction. The radiological appearance of the pouch in six such patients who complained of incontinence and/or difficulties to catheterize is reported and the findings are correlated with the findings at subsequent surgery and/or endoscopy. It can be concluded that radiology can contribute substantially to the morphodynamic assessment of patients with dysfunction of a Kock ileostomy whereas endoscopy easily depicts mucosal lesions.

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.

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:
