In the treatment of obstructing laryngeal cancer, an association has often been noted between emergency tracheotomy for airway relief and subsequent post-laryngectomy stomal recurrence. It is however unclear whether this is due to tumour implantation in the tracheotomy track, or paratracheal lymph node metastasis. To investigate the pathophysiology of stomal recurrence, the recurrence rate and clinical outcome of 26 cases of T3N0M0 glottic cancer treated with emergency tracheotomy and subsequent laryngectomy were analysed, and compared with 65 stage-matched cases treated with laryngectomy alone. Analysis shows the 'emergency tracheotomy' group to have a very poor prognosis with a higher incidence of recurrence at the stoma, and also in the regional lymph nodes. These findings suggest that paratracheal lymph node metastasis is an important mechanism in the development of stomal recurrence and thus has considerable implications for the prevention of such a recurrence following laryngectomy in the patient presenting with malignant airway obstruction.

Introduction: In colostomy-related complications, variceal hemorrhage particularly induced by cirrhosis and portal hypertension is seldom encountered. The onset of peristome variceal hemorrhage necessitates swift and effective intervention to prevent potentially life-threatening outcomes such as hemorrhagic shock and recurrent stoma bleeding.

Case Presentation: This report details a case of repeated varicose vein hemorrhage around the stoma in a patient with liver cirrhosis.

Introduction: Stenosis is a serious complication associated with stomas. The initial treatment for stoma stenosis is mainly the finger-bougie technique or balloon dilatation, and recurrence requires stomal reconstruction. However, the use of local triamcinolone injections for treating stoma stenosis has not been reported.

Stomal Stenosis After Continent Urinary Diversion in Bladder Exstrophy: Risk Factors and Management.

Urology

September 2024

James Buchanan Brady Urological Institute, Division of Pediatric Urology, Douglas A. Canning MD Exstrophy Database Center, Charlotte Bloomberg Children's Hospital, The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, Baltimore, MD. Electronic address:

Objective: To identify risk factors for stenosis and compare management strategies for stenosis etiology and to examine the efficacy of each approach. Patients with classic bladder exstrophy (CBE), a rare genitourinary malformation, may require construction of a continent urinary stoma (CUS) if incontinence persists. Stomal stenosis is a challenging complication as it is common, progressive, and recurrent.

Objectives: The objective of our study is to demonstrate the practical application of continent cutaneous urinary diversion (CCUD) in oncological patients, with a focus on various aspects of the procedure: surgical challenges, functional outcomes, and quality of life.

Materials And Methods: We studied the perioperative and follow-up data of patients who underwent cystectomy for cancer associated with CCUD (Mitrofanoff, Monti or Casale). We retrospectively analyzed complications within 30days and beyond 30days post-surgery.
