Abstract
Stomal stenosis following ileal loop diversion is a significant complication to warrant attention. One of the predisposing factors remains the circular nature of the stoma itself, often in conjunction with chronic skin irritation. Surgical revisions predispose one not only to the usual hazards of operation, but also tend to be multiple or involve extensive surgical reconstruction. A skin flap technique in the initial formation of the stoma avoids the incidence of stenosis related to the circular nature of the stoma. The procedure is simple and does not increase the surgical time. No significant stomal complications developed in 28 patients who had urinary diversions, followed for a mean of 30.6 months.
