    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Gastrointestinal Surgery
    • Clinical Outcomes

    Background:

    • Stoma operations are frequently performed in pediatric patients for various conditions.
    • A significant proportion of these procedures occur in neonates and infants, often as emergencies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze stoma operations in children over a 2-year period.
    • To discuss indications, techniques, and complications of pediatric stomas.
    • To review the management of pediatric stoma patients and highlight the role of stomatherapists.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 176 stoma operations.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, indications, stoma types, and outcomes.
    • Discussion of surgical techniques and complications encountered.

    Main Results:

    • 176 stoma operations were performed over 2 years.
    • 50% of operations were in neonates, 30% in infants under 1 year.
    • Most pediatric stomas were temporary emergency procedures; only 10% were permanent.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatric stoma surgery predominantly involves temporary procedures for emergencies in young children.
    • Careful consideration of stoma type, technique, and potential complications is essential.
    • The integration of a stomatherapist significantly enhances the management of pediatric patients with stomas.
