Summary

This study presents a minimally invasive technique for re-ileostomy, successfully elevating a low ileostoma by lowering surrounding skin with flaps. This approach resolved skin irritation and allowed a patient to resume a normal diet, avoiding further laparotomy.

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Surgical Oncology
Plastic Surgery

Background:

A patient developed a low ileostoma after sigmoid colon cancer surgery, leading to skin irritation and intermittent fasting.

Keywords:

ileostoma low height stoma re-ileostomy skin complication skin flap formation technique stoma re-making
