pliable mobile tissue. is technique is especially useful in the obese patient who requires construction of a urinary conduit after cystectomy and radiation. e technique is especially helpful because a supporting rod can be placed beneath the stoma for 1 week to help avoid retraction through a thick abdominal wall (Fig. 9-12).
Constructing a loop-end ileostomy involves transecting the ileum as previously described, but the closed end will remain closed (Fig. 9-12A). e staple line is inverted with
seromuscular sutures, or if it is to be used for a urinary con­duit, only absorbable sutures are used to close the end of the ileum, because stone formation has been reported around staples (Fig. 9-12B). e orienting sutures are then placed as described for construction of a loop ileostomy, and a trache­ostomy tape is placed so that when the loop of ileum is pulled through the abdominal wall, the closed recessive end will be superior and just within the abdominal cavity (Fig. 9-12C). e construction of the loop-end stoma then proceeds exactly

as that described for the loop ileostomy (Figs. 9-12D, 9-12E, and 9-12F). However, in the case in which the stoma will be permanent, the mesentery of the distal ileum is xed to the abdominal wall (Fig. 9-12D). If the stoma will be used as a urinary conduit, the loop of the conduit should be brought through the abdominal wall before the ureteral anastomoses have been carried out. It is a disconcerting problem to have the ureters xed and then nd there is an inadequate length of ileum to bring through the abdominal wall. It is also easier to place the ureteral stents when the construction is done in this fashion.
A special problem has been found in patients with a loop-end ileostomy in that there continues to be mucus secretion from the recessive limb, and after a period of several months, this secretion may interfere with the perfect seal of the ileostomy appliance. If interference does occur, it may be necessary to resect the distal limb and convert the stoma to a proper end ileostomy. is is a small price to pay, however, because it is an easy operation to remove the recessive limb, and it can be done without opening the abdominal cavity. Of more importance is the fact that the loop conguration dur­ing the initial procedure has allowed maintenance of blood supply and a protruding conguration under circumstances in which this otherwise may have been impossible, and that would have resulted in major complications.
POSTOPERATIVE CARE OF ILEOSTOMIES
e components of an ileostomy appliance are a skin barrier with a faceplate, and a drainable pouch. Most ileostomy appliances are now commercially available as one-piece or semi-disposable two-piece units. e one in common use has a skin barrier with a xed plastic ange (ring) so that the stoma opening can be cut precisely, the skin barrier applied, and the pouch snapped directly onto the plastic ange, thus allowing easy drainage and disposal of the pouch part of the appliance. e skin barrier component should need changing only every 4–5 days in a patient with a properly protruding and located stoma. A well-constructed ileostomy should allow the patient to display normal physical vigor, to eat a well­balanced palatable diet, and to engage in normal recreational and sexual activity. ere should be no prolapse or retraction, the skin should remain normal, and the appliance should not leak. When rst constructed, ileostomy output typically aver­ages 1500 mL per day of liquid euent, but after adaptation occurs, between 500 mL and 800 mL of thick liquid content should be passed per day.
ILEOSTOMY COMPLICATIONS
Before the concept of stoma eversion was conceived, in approximately 1960, the majority of patients who under­went construction of an ileostomy had serious postoperative complications, usually related to serositis, which caused a partial obstruction at the stoma itself. ese patients suf­fered massive uid and electrolyte imbalance and often death, which were related to the enormous sequestration of
uid secondary to the small bowel obstruction. is condi­tion was called “ileostomy dysfunction” and was anticipated after the construction of each stoma. is devastating prob­lem essentially has been eliminated, since stomas have been opened and everted immediately at the time of construction. e output of an ileostomy should thus not be excessive, even in the immediate postoperative period.
Patients with ileostomies do have problems, most often related to maintenance of the seal of the appliance because of poor location or defective conguration of the stoma. In some cases, it is necessary either to revise the stoma locally to bring it into a spigot conguration, or to relocate it so an appliance can be securely applied. e most common problem experienced by ileostomy patients is chemical dermatitis. is can be prevented by proper stoma construction techniques, and by obtaining a pouching system that is properly sized and adherent. If the patient has a poorly constructed stoma, or a poorly tting appliance, destruction of the peristomal skin can be so severe as to require split-thickness skin graft for deni­tive management. In these cases and in others in which the skin is injured around the stoma, a special ileostomy appliance may be utilized. It is based on maintenance of the seal to the mucosa of the ileum rather than to the peristomal skin. is appliance is used infrequently, when it is the only solution to complicated peristomal skin problems. Its use requires wear­ing supportive belts to maintain the appliance in place, but the skin can be treated with medicated pads during this period.
Another potential complication of ileostomy is dehydra­tion. In patients with newly constructed ileostomies, the output of intestinal contents is frequently high enough that patients will require intravenous uid administration until the stoma output decreases and the patient can compensate with adequate oral intake of uids and electrolytes. One of the early symptoms associated with dehydration is nausea, which further exacerbates the problem as patients are loath to drink uids. is problem not infrequently results in readmission to the hospital following major intestinal surgery accompa­nied by ileostomy formation. Patients should be counseled prior to discharge regarding the signs and symptoms of dehy­dration, and to intervene early with increased oral intake of uids. Patients with long-term ileostomies are also at risk of becoming dehydrated, which occurs in hot weather and during strenuous physical activity. e individuals should be instructed to maintain adequate intake of uids and electro­lytes. ey should routinely have medications on hand for simple diarrhea so that control can be achieved before dehy­dration occurs.
Some patients with ileostomies will present with acute blockage of the stoma, which is usually related to food indis­cretion creating a “food bolus obstruction” just proximal to the level where the intestine exits the abdominal wall. is complication is most common in patients with newly con­structed stomas, as there is some residual edema in the tissues which creates a relative narrowing of the ileum as it crosses the abdominal wall. Typically, patients will have ingested some brous food with a high residual component and will present with crampy abdominal pain, reduced stoma output,
Chapter 9 Intestinal Stomas 185
dehydration, and vomiting. ese patients should be admitted to the hospital and started on intravenous uid replacement. e stoma can then be irrigated in an attempt to release the presumed food bolus blockage. A Foley or similar catheter is placed into the stoma, and the stoma is then irrigated gently with warm saline. If food particles are returned from the initial irrigation, the irrigation can be continued until stoma function returns and the blockage is eliminated. If the return is clear, it suggests a more proximal obstruction or an adhesive obstruc­tion, and a water-soluble contrast study should be done for evaluation. If the problem is food blockage, the instillation of the hyperosmolar contrast medium often will prove therapeu­tic. If there is no evidence of food blockage, it should be dealt with as an adhesive small intestinal obstruction. Figure 9-13 is an algorithm for the alleviation of ileostomy blockage.
Some patients develop a high ileostomy output because of dietary indiscretion, infectious disease, short bowel syndrome, or recurrence of inammatory bowel disease. e cause must be determined and each problem dealt with individually. It is important to maintain uid and electrolyte balance as these problems are being resolved. Special care must be provided for the patient with short bowel syndrome to maintain electrolyte balance and to compensate for the vitamin B
, calcium, and
12
fat malabsorption that occurs with absence of the distal ileum.
Another special problem that may occur with an ileostomy is the formation of a paraileostomy stula. is usually repre­sents recurrence of Crohn’s disease and should be dealt with based on the extent of the Crohn’s disease. While evaluation and treatment are being carried out, the appliance should be modied so that the stula is allowed to drain into the appliance, and no attempt should be made to cover the stula opening. is is usually achieved by modication of the con­guration of the skin barrier component of the appliance.
Patients and those individuals aiding in the care of the ileostomy should be in the habit of observing the ileostomy

for injury. ere are no pain bers in the ileum, and it is not unusual for a patient to lacerate the stoma with a malt­ting appliance without noticing the injury, especially on the inferior aspect of the stoma.
Review of the UOA data registry overall shows a low incidence of complications from ileostomy and an even lower incidence of need for corrective surgery. e vast majority of patients with conventional ileostomies lead normal lives and rarely have a restricted lifestyle because of the stoma. Most patients spend less than 1 hour a day dealing with their stomas.
CONTINENT ILEOSTOMY
e continent ileostomy, or Kock pouch, has been used as an alternative to a conventional ileostomy for selected patients with ulcerative colitis or familial polyposis. It involves con­struction of an internal pouch with a continent nipple valve. e continent ileostomy allows placement of the stoma in an inconspicuous location and avoids the need for wearing an appliance permanently. It does require multiple intuba­tions of the pouch daily to allow emptying. e complication rate for construction of this continent ileostomy has been high because of the diculty in maintaining continence of the nipple valve and position of the pouch so that intubation can be easily accomplished. is operation should probably be done only in centers where it is performed frequently and where the complications are managed by an experi­enced team. e continent ileostomy can be constructed as a primary procedure for patients with ulcerative colitis. It may also be considered for patients who have an existing ileostomy that malfunctions, is poorly located, or causes severe injury to the peristomal skin because of allergic reaction to the ostomy equipment. However, the Kock pouch has been used infrequently as primary treatment for patients with familial polyposis and ulcerative colitis since the advent of the restor­ative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis. Most surgeons agree that the continent ileostomy is con­traindicated for patients with Crohn’s disease because of the signicant risk of recurrent disease and the potential for loss of substantial length of intestine should the patient require pouch excision. It is also not to be recommended for patients who have a well-functioning end ileostomy.
e advantages of continent ileostomy are that a patient need not wear an appliance, the patient is continent between intubations, and she or he may experience a better quality of life than if they had a conventional ileostomy. e disadvantages are that not all patients are continent, it does require multiple intubations during the day, there can be diculty in intubation, and the surgery is pro­longed and carries a substantial risk of complications. If the procedure fails, the individual will lose a signicant amount of small intestine. Also, psychological factors may have been involved in the original motivation for choosing the internal ileostomy that are not alleviated by the more complicated surgical procedure.
186 Part II Abdominal Wall
Construction of Continent Ileostomy
e construction of an intestinal reservoir for feces was rst described in 1967 by Nils Kock. His original description of a U-shaped pouch was based on the theory that interruption of coordinated peristalsis would enhance capacity. Since then, J- and S-shaped pouches have been used with similar results. An S-shaped pouch is described here.
e construction of a continent ileostomy, or Kock pouch, can be broken into four components: (1) the creation of a pouch, (2) the creation of a nipple valve, which provides con­tinence, (3) the suspension of the pouch from the abdominal wall in such a way as to prevent slippage of the nipple valve, and (4) the creation of a stoma.
e terminal ileum should be transected as close to the cecum as possible (Fig. 9-14A). e S-shaped reservoir is fash­ioned from a 30 to 45 cm segment of distal ileum, starting 15cm from the cut end (Fig. 9-14B). e last 15 cm is used for the outlet (5 cm) and nipple valve (10 cm). e intestine is tacked in place in the shape of an S, using interrupted sero­muscular sutures of 2-0 polyglycolic acid placed at the edge of the mesentery. Each limb of the S should be 10–15 cm long. eintestine is opened along the entire portion of the S, with the surgeon taking care to incise close to the mesenteric border on the outer limbs of the S and exactly at the antimesenteric sur­face of the central limb. A single-layer continuous suture line of 2-0 synthetic absorbable suture is rst placed between the two walls of the central limb and the inner walls of thetwo outer limbs (Fig. 9-14C). e sutures that begin on the posterior wall continue onto the anterior wall as the suture line reaches the outer wall of each of the two outer limbs of the S. e anterior wall is completed by continuing the suture from each direction, using an inverting full-thickness technique (either “baseball” or Connell) until the sutures meet in the middle. Before the pouch is closed, the nipple valve must be constructed.
e 15 cm of ileum distal to the pouch will become the nipple valve and stoma. Prior to the completion of the anterior wall suture, with the pouch mostly open, the nipple valve is made by intussuscepting the ileum into the pouch (Figs.9-14D and 9-14E). A Babcock clamp is passed into the distal ileum from within the pouch and is closed onto the full thickness of the bowel at a point 5 cm from the pouch. e clamp is drawn into the pouch, intussuscepting the bowel on itself to form the nipple valve. e valve is maintained in this position by placing a line of staples on either side of the mesentery and a third row of staples on the antimesenteric aspect (Fig. 9-14F). Occasion­ally it is possible to place four staple lines equidistant around the circumference of the nipple valve(Fig. 9-14G). A linear­cutting stapling instrument with the cutting blade removed is used to place the staple lines. One arm of the instrument is inserted into the lumen of the nipple from within the pouch before closing and ring the instrument. ese staple lines make a serosa-to-serosa xation of the nipple valve and prevent its unfolding. e anterior wall of the pouch is then completed as previously described (Fig. 9-15A). A 5 cm outlet of distal ileum remains that will pass through the abdominal wall and allow construction of a ush stoma.
e right lower quadrant stoma site is created as described earlier in this chapter, with the opening placed below the belt line and within the rectus muscle. Before the outlet is passed through the abdominal wall opening, a sling of soft synthetic mesh (1 × 10 cm) is passed through a window made in the mes­entery of both the pouch and nipple valve under the major ves­sels as they fold into the nipple valve mesentery (Figs. 9-15B and 9-15C). e strip of mesh maintains the nipple conguration and helps secure the pouch to the abdominal wall. Seromuscular absorbable sutures are used to x the mesh to the base of the outlet (Fig. 9-15D). e two ends of the sling are left long because they are sutured together at the antimesenteric surface of the outlet. is facilitates delivery of the outlet through the stoma site and allows a securing suture of nonabsorbable mate­rial to be placed through the sling into the anterior fascia. As the outlet is readied to be drawn through the abdominal wall, a row of three untied seromuscular sutures is placed on the shoulders ofthe pouch medial and lateral to the outlet (Fig.9-15E). ese sutures, incorporating the posterior fascia and peritoneum, are used to x the pouch to the anterior abdominal wall. e out­let is delivered through the stoma site and the pouch is drawn toward the abdominal wall. e sutures are then tied, rst lat­erally and then medially (Fig. 9-15F). A permanent securing suture is placed through the tails of the sling and the anterior fascia, and the ends of the mesh are trimmed.
If possible, the cut edge of the small intestine’s mesentery is sutured to the anterior abdominal wall (Fig. 9-15F). A con­tinuous suture is placed from the outlet of the pouch to the falciform ligament. e pouch in its nal position should rest at the right pelvic brim, with the antimesenteric surface (anterior wall) of the pouch directed inferiorly.
e terminal ileum at the outlet should be excised at skin level (Fig. 9-15G). e stoma is nally completed by absorb­able sutures between the subcuticular layer of the skin and the full thickness of the intestinal wall (Fig. 9-15H). A Medina catheter is passed through the stoma into the pouch and is secured to the skin to prevent slippage of the tube into or out of the pouch (Fig. 9-15I). ere should be minimal resistance and no deviation from a straight passage. e pouch should be drained in this manner for 2 weeks before intermittent clamping is begun during the third week. Finally, the pouch should be extubated and reintubated every 4 hours until the intervals gradually increase to 6 or 8 hours.
e nipple valve provides increasing continence as pres­sure rises in the pouch. Should the nipple valve lose its conguration and prolapse or should it slip through the mesenteric aspect of the pouch (the weakest point), either incontinence or obstruction will result. ese two problems, along with “pouchitis,” are the most common complications following the continent ileostomy procedure. As a result, many variations of pouch construction have been used in attempts to prevent or correct these problems.
If a stula should form from the nipple valve or if the nipple valve should slip, it may be possible to preserve the pouch and construct a new nipple valve (Fig. 9-16). e technique involves resecting the pouch outlet, including the nipple valve, after fully mobilizing the pouch from the

above, and the stoma is constructed (Figs. 9-16H and 9-16I). e pouch should be protected by constant drainage through an indwelling Medina catheter for at least 1 week. Because the pouch will not require expansion and the patient will not need education, the prolonged period of progressive clamp­ing should not be necessary.

abdominal wall and pelvis (Fig. 9-16B). e terminal ileum is transected 15 cm proximal to the pouch (Fig. 9-16C). e pouch is then rotated 180 degrees on its mesentery (Fig. 9-16D). A new nipple valve is created as previously described by intussuscepting the new outlet on itself and placing staple lines along the valve to secure the fold (Figs. 9-16E, 9-16F, and 9-16G). e opening in the pouch wall created when the old outlet was resected serves as the entry to the pouch to perform this maneuver. e proximal ileum’s cut edge is then anastomosed to the pouch through a second enterotomy in a position that allows the pouch to lie comfortably in the right lower quadrant as before (Fig. 9-16D). If at all possible, the existing stoma site should be preserved and reused. e pouch then is resuspended by using a mesh sling as described
URINARY CONDUIT
e urinary conduit is constructed of a segment of intestine with well-maintained vascularity so that it can be connected to the urinary tract to allow egress of urine through the abdominal wall via a stoma constructed exactly like an ileos­tomy. It is not intended to have any type of reservoir capacity but merely to provide an open conduit. is urinary conduit is constructed most often after removal of the urinary bladder for invasive cancer. It is also used for management of severe obstructive uropathy, the congenital abnormalities of spina bida, meningomyelocele, or bladder exstrophy, and for trauma to the spinal cord resulting in a severely neurogenic bladder. e incidence of this surgery for congenital and traumatic disorders is decreasing as other means of emptying the bladder are devised. e cystectomy, construction of the urinary conduit, and ureterointestinal anastomosis are most often carried out by urologists, but the construction of the stoma, as well as restoration of intestinal continuity, may be done by a surgeon more experienced in intestinal and stoma surgery.
e basic principles of construction of the conduit and stoma involve isolation of a segment of intestine, with main­tenance of the mesenteric blood supply and enough mobility to allow the distal end to be used as a stoma and the proxi­mal end to serve as the site for ureteral implantation. It is most important to maintain the isoperistaltic direction of the intestine, especially if the conduit is constructed of sigmoid colon. e conduit must not be made of irradiated bowel, even if this requires using either colonic or proximal small intestinal conduits. If the stoma is improperly constructed, there may be a stasis of urine, resulting in reux and damage to the proximal tract.
e surgical technique consists of choosing a long enough segment of small intestine to allow the stoma to be con­structed at the level of the abdominal wall and still allow the proximal end to reach close enough to the retroperitoneum to preclude tension on the ureterointestinal anastomoses (Fig. 9-17). Usually, 18–20 cm of intestine is enough, but this must be modied if there is a shortened mesentery or a massively obese abdominal wall. It is in these latter situa­tions that the loop-end stoma, supported over a small rod, can be advantageous. After the segment of intestine is chosen, the mesentery at the distal point is incised to allow enough mobility for reaching the abdominal wall. e mesentery at the proximal site of transection is incised only in a limited fashion, and care must be taken to preserve a generous blood supply (Fig. 9-17A). Intestinal continuity is restored, with the intended conduit positioned posterior to the restored intestine

(Fig. 9-17B). e ileoileal anastomosis may be completed in any fashion that uses sutures or staples. e conduit is then cleaned of intestinal content, and the proximal end is closed. Closure must be done with absorbable sutures, because staples can lead to stone formation. Itis then preferable to make the
opening in the abdominal wall to construct the stoma as pre­viously described for an ileostomy (Figs. 9-17C and 9-17D). is procedure ensures that the ureteral anastomosis will be completed with the conduit in its nal position and without the need for applying tension to bring the intestine through
