Murine Ileocolic Bowel Resection with Primary Anastomosis
Published on: October 29, 2014
Abstract:
The continent ileostomy, consisting of a valve and a pouch, makes available an alternative system in which intestinal discharge can be stored and controlled after coloproctectomy. Earlier concerns regarding valve slippage with resulting malfunction have been largely eliminated by recent modifications in the technique of valve construction. A continent ileostomy was provided for 19 patients. In the first five, an antiperistaltic (Kock) valve was constructed and two had dessusception which necessitated reoperation. In the 16 cases in which an isoperistaltic valve was fashioned, there has been no slippage. These improvements, along with the significant enhancement of the quality of life, indicate a need to reexamine the advisability of providing a spout-type ileostomy in those cases favorable to the construction of a continent ileostomy.

Large Intestine
The ileocecal sphincter, a mucous membrane fold, guards the opening from the ileum to the large intestine. This valve permits material from the small intestine to pass into the large intestine. Attached to the ileocecal valve is the cecum. This small pouch, approximately 6 cm long, has a twisted, coiled tube known as...

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:
