Abstract:
A method for containing troublesome intestinal stomas or fistulas in open wounds is described. Custom-fitted faceplates are made using alginate materials and vulcanizing silicone rubber at room temperature. Three patients have been presented illustrating the rehabilitation and palliation that can be achieved by collaborative interaction between surgeons, enterostomal therapists, and prosthetic technicians.

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding
Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.
