Ostomy Care01:24

Ostomy Care

1.6K
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:

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Surgical Simulation
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Stoma formation is a frequent pediatric surgical procedure.
  • A significant gap exists in accessible, low-cost training models for stoma formation.
  • Current training methods may not be cost-effective or readily available globally.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and describe an inexpensive, low-fidelity simulator for pediatric stoma formation.
  • To provide a practical training tool for enhancing technical skills in stoma creation.
  • To address the need for affordable surgical simulation in low-middle-income countries (LMICs).

Main Methods:

  • The stoma model was constructed using readily available materials, including porcine bowel and skin.
  • The simulator was utilized in a hands-on training session during a regional pediatric surgical registrar training day.
  • Participant feedback was collected to evaluate the model's effectiveness and realism.

Main Results:

  • The developed stoma model was rated as excellent and life-like by all participating trainees.
  • The use of porcine bowel and skin provided a realistic simulation of actual stoma formation.
  • The model's low cost and ease of creation were highlighted as significant advantages.

Conclusions:

  • An inexpensive, low-fidelity stoma formation simulator has been successfully developed.
  • This model offers a valuable and realistic tool for simulation-based technical skills training in pediatric surgery.
  • The cost-effectiveness makes this simulator particularly beneficial for training in low-middle-income countries (LMICs).
