Background:
Mucocutaneous separation (MCS) is one of the early stomal complications of ileal conduit diversion after radical cystectomy. It can result in abdominal infection and sepsis, prolonging patient recovery. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has been widely used for abdominal wounds after orthopedic and burn surgery. This case series describes its use in complicated MCS and ostomy retraction after ileal conduit diversion.
Cases:
We describe a case series of 3 patients with moderate to severe MCS with and without infection after robot-assisted radical cystectomy with ileal conduit diversion. Our patients were treated with NPWT to avoid infection and create a satisfactory environment for healing MCS. After 2 to 4 weeks of NPWT, all 3 patients had normal micturition function with no additional peristomal wounds or complications.
Conclusion:
Negative pressure wound therapy may be used in the management of complicated MCS after ileal conduit diversion.

01:24Ostomy 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:
