Chapter 23 Stoma Surgery
that a transverse colostomy may be placed with minimal operative stress for the pa­tient. If necessary, a transverse loop colostomy may be placed under local anesthesia with an incision just at the stoma site. This type of stoma, therefore, is our preferred option for the debilitated patient with high general operative risk. In patients who re­quire a stoma as a definitive treatment, a Hartmann procedure with an end-descend­ing colostomy is our preferred operation (Fig. 23.1). An end colostomy in the descend­ing colon will usually allow stoma care by irrigation (Fig. 23.2).This procedure of con­trolled emptying of the bowel every 2–3 days with the potential to dispense with plac­ing stoma bags is frequently perceived as the optimal stoma care in the trained and fit patient (Turnbull 2003). It is of note that all mentioned operations may easily be per­formed with the laparoscopic approach, if the patient has had no extensive previous abdominal operations (Weiss et al. 1995; Oliveira et al. 1977; Ludwig et al. 1996; Schwandner et al.1998).
23.2 Preparation
It is almost normal that the patient is somewhat horrified when the possibility of a sto­ma placement as a cure for severe fecal incontinence is mentioned the first time. Thus, placement of a stoma for fecal incontinence is basically never a one-visit decision.Ex­cept for the emergency situation, when stoma placement may be required in patients with an anal sphincter destroyed by perineal injury, this operation should only be undertaken after repeated and extensive discussions with the patient. It is advisable that not only the surgeon explain why a stoma is believed to be advantageous, but also the stoma nurse, who will frequently have more detailed information available on as­pects of stoma care and special procedures such as irrigation.According to our expe-

Fig. 23.2. Irrigation. This figure shows the technique of irrigating an end colostomy. With the help of special appliances,a large enema is given into the colostomy,which allows complete emp­tying of the proximal colon. In suitable patients, this technique prevents evacuations from the colostomy for 2–3 days,which enables patients to dispense with the bag that otherwise covers the stoma for this time period
rience, it is furthermore extremely helpful when the patient who is facing a stoma placement is given the opportunity to talk to somebody who has already undergone this procedure previously since the patient’s perspective is certainly different at times compared to the surgeons’ or nurses’.
Besides carefully familiarizing the patient with stoma care, the position of the sto­ma requires optimal planning. The marking should be performed in the supine, up­right and sitting positions. Special attention is to be given to skin folds and the level of the pants or belt. It is furthermore mandatory that the patient is able to see the stoma site. This latter aspect is particularly important in the obese patient (Fig. 23.3).
23.3 Technical Aspects of Stoma Surgery
23.3.1 Operative Access
In suitable patients, we prefer the laparoscopic approach, as it allows the patient to profit from the advantages of laparoscopic surgery such as reduced postoperative pain, less frequent postoperative motility disorders and shortened hospital stay (Robinson and Stiegmann 2004). In general, one trocar is placed close to the umbili­cus for the camera and one at the site of the future stoma. This arrangement is usually sufficient for a loop ileostomy. If a Hartmann procedure is performed with an end co­lostomy at the level of the descending colon an additional trocar is required for the dissection and mobilization of the descending colon. If the laparoscopic approach is

not feasible, a midline laparotomy is performed to avoid any incision at potential fu­ture stoma sites, which may be important if the stoma ever has to be replaced subse­quent to stoma complications.There are no detailed or conclusive reports on the cost of laparoscopic vs open stoma surgery (Johnsson and Zethraeus 2000). The laparos­copic procedure is likely to be more expensive because of the special materials that are necessary for laparoscopic surgery. However, this is probably balanced by the general­ly shortened hospital stay following laparoscopic surgery.
23.3.2 Loop Ostomies
We perform a loop ileostomy most frequently (Fig. 23.4; Weiss et al. 1995). The pneu­moperitoneum is established following a skin incision below the umbilicus either by use of the Veres needle or a minilaparotomy. Then, a 10-mm trocar is placed and the camera inserted. The skin at the level of the ileostoma is excised with a diameter of ap­proximately 2–3 cm and an additional trocar inserted. In order to have an adequate gap at the level of the fascia, we change the initially placed trocar to a 20-mm trocar, before we grasp the most distal ileal loop that is sufficiently mobile with a Babcock clamp. Alternatively, the fascia may be incised from above after the loop has been grasped. This step is facilitated by having the patient in the Trendelenburg position. The loop is exteriorized and a splint is placed below.Now the position of the proximal and distal part of the loop needs to be confirmed carefully. The abdomen is deflated, the camera port is withdrawn and the fascia and skin are closed below the umbilicus.

Then the loop is incised at the level of the distal loop such that the proximal loop is fixed to the skin by creating a nipple. The nipple ensures that the stoma appliances can be positioned so that the contents of the small intestine cannot touch the skin. This is crucial in order to avoid later skin problems around the stoma.When the procedure is performed via a midline laparotomy, the fascia is incised at the level of the stoma site just enough to allow the passage of two fingers. In the case of a loop colostomy at the level of the transverse colon,a slightly extended transverse incision is performed to di­rectly pull out a loop of the transverse colon. A nipple is not mandatory when placing a colostomy since the contents of the colon usually do not cause irritations of the skin.
23.3.3 Hartmann Procedure, End Colostomy of the Descending Colon
The sigmoid and the descending colon is mobilized and the colon transected with a stapler at the level of the distal sigmoid colon after division of the mesentery. Identifi­cation of the ureter prior to the dissection of the mesentery is advisable since it elimi­nates the risk of injury.A stapling device that cuts and closes the colon with a stapling line at both ends is most advantageous for this step (e.g., Endostapler, Ethicon,Ham­burg, Germany).Caution needs to be used to divide the mesentery away from the part of the colon that will form the colostomy in order to ensure adequate blood supply to the stoma. A disc of about 2–3 cm is excised at the level of the skin and the fascia in­cised before the end of the descending colon is exteriorized.The colon right below the stoma site should be in a fairly straight position,as a loop or siphon may render intu­bation of the stoma difficult, potentially precluding a later irrigation procedure. At

times shortening of the colon after it has been pulled through the stoma site may be required. Opening and fixation of the stoma at the skin level following withdrawal of the trocars and closure of the port sites are the final steps of the procedure.In our ex­perience, additional fixation of the stoma at the level of the fascia is unnecessary. The open operation is performed accordingly through a midline laparotomy.
23.4 Postoperative Complications
The most frequently encountered problems following stoma placement are stoma re­traction, prolapse,parastomal hernia and skin problems (Shellito 1998).Stoma retrac- tion usually is secondary to a technical problem during stoma placement,i.e., tension on the bowel.In most cases, conservative treatment is possible except when the stoma completely slips back into the abdomen causing peritonitis.Then an emergency reop­eration is indispensable. For the other cases managed conservatively, time will show whether stenosis or skin problems secondary to difficult stoma care occur with the subsequent need for replacement of the stoma at a different site.Prolapse and parasto- mal hernia may also warrant correction either by local excision and shortening of the redundant intestine at the stoma site or by repositioning the stoma to a different posi­tion. As some degree of prolapse and parastomal hernia is physiological after some time, surgery should only be undertaken in symptomatic patients or when other prob­lems such as bleeding or obstruction occur. Skin problems around the stoma site are basically always a consequence of difficulties in stoma care. In most cases, a stoma therapist will manage to solve these problems by modifications of the stoma care and/or special appliances. If skin irritations are secondary to skin folds at the stoma site, surgical repositioning of the stoma may ultimately be warranted.

23.5 Summary
A diverting stoma is an extremely important option for the treatment of fecal inconti­nence. It should be considered in patients after unsuccessful conservative or surgical treatment if severe limitations of social activities persist. However,a diverting stoma is not only a last resort but also a reasonable option for patients who seek the most effi­cacious,simple and quick relief of fecal incontinence.Furthermore, a loop ostomy may be useful during extensive reconstructive surgery of the sphincters. Temporary stomas are usually placed as loop ostomies, while a Hartmann procedure with an end-de­scending colostomy is our procedure of choice for permanent stoma. Careful marking of future stoma site and extensive advice to the patient preoperatively are indispens­able.In the suitable patient,stoma placement may be performed by minimally invasive techniques.

24.1 Introduction
Incontinence and prolapse surgery is intended to restore anatomy and function. Con­trary to oncological surgery,which is carried out to save the patient’s life, urogyneco­logical surgery tries to improve the patient’s well-being. Therefore postoperative care after surgery for incontinence and prolapse presents specific issues.
24.2 Immediate Postoperative Phase
24
Did side effects occur: voiding disorder, residual urine,
de novo urge incontinence?
24.2.1 Medium Term
Incontinence surgery: did symptoms improve?
Prolapse surgery: is anatomy restored and function preserved?
How can the result of surgery be preserved?
Unfortunately, to our knowledge there are no evidence-based recommendations be­cause no studies have been published that compare different methods of postoperative care.
24.3 Immediate Postoperative Care
Kidney ultrasound should be performed to exclude hydronephrosis postoperatively.
Proper bladder emptying has to be ensured.Intermittent self catheterization or su­prapubic bladder drainage can be used. Patients should void every 2–3 h during the day and at least once during the night. If residual urine is less than 100 cc catheteriza­tion can be stopped.
If the patient complains about residual urine and/or de novo urgency a urinary tract infection should be excluded and residual urine checked.Cholinergic drugs help to improve detrusor contraction, alpha-blocking agents additionally decrease the ure­thral sphincter tonus.Perineal or introital ultrasound can be used to check for bladder neck position after colposuspension and for tape position after tension-free applica­tion of a polypropylene tape (Viereck,Kosczsewski).If the patient complains about ur­gency urinary tract infections have to be excluded. If she does not have significant re­sidual urine anticholinergic drugs can be tried.
Postmenopausal patients should generally receive vaginal estriol, especially after mesh implantation,to avoid erosion of the mesh. Estriol might also be helpful after in­continence surgery when a female patient complains of urgency.
