Background: Minimizing incisions has the potential to decrease hernia formation and wound complications following laparoscopic surgery. It is currently unknown if using the stoma site for specimen extraction affects outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the impact of stoma site extraction on postoperative complication rates in laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
Methods: After IRB approval, a retrospective comparative review of 738 consecutive patients (405 M) who underwent laparoscopic colorectal surgery with ileostomy between January 2008 and December 2014 was performed. Patients who had a minimally invasive surgery that required an ileostomy were included. Patients were classified into two groups: stoma site extraction (SSE) or non-stoma site extraction (NSSE) and compared by body mass index (BMI), age, comorbidities, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, length of stay, estimated blood loss, parastomal complications, and hernia rate.
Results: The parastomal hernia rate was 10.1% for the SSE group (n = 14) and 4.2% for the NSSE group (n = 25) (p = 0.007). The need for additional surgeries was 7/139 (5.0%) for the SSE group and 27/599 (4.5%) for the NSSE group (p = 0.79). There was no difference in the hernia rate after stoma closure in either group. There was no difference in single incision laparoscopic surgery versus conventional laparoscopy or robotic-assisted laparoscopy on stoma site complications in patients with SSE. SSE, transfusion, and BMI >30 were found to be independent factors associated with increased stoma site complications.
Conclusion: SSE does increase stoma site complications. SSE should be used with caution, or in conjunction with other techniques to reduce hernias in patients requiring a permanent stoma or with an elevated BMI. The increase in stoma site complications does not translate into additional surgeries or postoperative sequelae following stoma reversal and is a reasonable option in patients requiring a temporary stoma.

Purpose: To present updated outcomes after previously describing a novel technique for the robotic repair of parastomal hernias.
Methods: Patients who underwent parastomal hernia repair with a robotic Sugarbaker technique at a tertiary hernia center were identified from an institutional database. The approach involves mesh placement in the intraperitoneal or preperitoneal position after closure of the fascial defect.

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is the second most common skin manifestation reported in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We performed a single-institution, retrospective study to summarize the clinical features and examine effective treatment regimens and outcomes of PG in IBD patients. We identified 45 patients who presented to our institute between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2021 with the following criteria: (1) diagnosed with an active PG (ICD9: 686.

A 61-year-old woman underwent an emergent operation with sigmoid colon cancer resection, colostomy, and ileostomy on colon perforation. The low ileostoma, caused by intra-abdominal bad conditions, had irritated the surrounding skin after surgery, intermittently forcing the patient to fast for a certain period. Six months after the operation, under the judgment that re-ileostomy, essential for hospital discharge, seemed very difficult through another laparotomy, we attempted to make the ileostoma higher not with pulling the ileum from the abdomen but with lowering the surrounding skin using skin flap formation techniques.

Purpose: Recent findings suggest that utilizing negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) concurrently with stoma closure may decrease the risk of incisional surgical site infection (iSSI). However, the specific impact of NPWT on iSSI after stoma closure remains unclear. This study investigated the impact of NPWT on SSI after stoma closure.

Introduction: This study investigates risk factors and surgical outcomes in pediatric patients with congenital heart defects (CHD) who develop ischemic colitis (IC). Previous research indicates a higher IC risk in very low birth weight neonates with CHD.
Methods: A retrospective analysis compared an IC-CHD group to a CHD-only group.
