Purpose: We evaluated evidence related to the use of a rod (bridge) to prevent stoma retraction during loop ostomy construction.
Methods: We completed a systematic review of the literature. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and COCHRANE databases up to December 4, 2019. We posed the following question based on a PICO format. Do adult patients undergoing ostomy surgery experience less stomal retraction when compared to patients managed without placement of a stoma rod?
Findings: Our initial search returned 182 articles; after reading studies in full, 5 articles were identified that collectively enrolled 1058 participants. Four studies were randomized controlled trials and one was a prospective cohort study. Meta-analysis could not be performed because of the small number of studies and the heterogeneity of outcomes measurements. The incidence of stoma retraction ranged between 0%-8% in patients managed with a rod and 0.78%-8.2% in patients with no rod. The number of reported adverse events was low. Placement of a stoma rod was associated with more adverse outcomes than in patients managed without a rod. Adverse events included local edema, stoma necrosis, skin necrosis, peristomal moisture-associated skin damage (irritant dermatitis), peristomal abscess, bleeding, and mucocutaneous separation.
Conclusions: Stoma rod does not seem to reduce the risk of stoma retraction and might result in other adverse events.
Implications: We recommend avoidance of stoma rod/bridge placement during ostomy surgery.

Background: As part of an organ sparing strategy, a surgical local excision may be performed in patients with early-stage rectal cancer or following neoadjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy. In selected cases, a completion total mesorectal excision may be recommended which can be more complex because of the preceding local excision. A transanal approach to perform completion total mesorectal excision may offer an advantage through the better visualization of the surgical field in the distal rectum and less forceful retraction for exposure.

Background: Diverting ileostomy is a common procedure in rectal cancer surgery, but it is sometimes associated with a nonnegligible rate of complications. The primary aim of this study was to analyze the incidence and types of stoma-related complications for ileostomy creation after rectal cancer resection. The secondary aims were to report the indications, the technical details, and the efficacy of stoma care provided by ostomy nurses.

Article Synopsis
- * Data was gathered from 300 neonates with HD, revealing that 6.0% (18) experienced bowel perforation, predominantly in the proximal ganglionic segment, with most cases involving short-segment (38.9%) or long-segment (50.0%) HD.
- * All affected neonates underwent timely surgery, primarily stoma creation, which led to no reported deaths, although some faced postoperative complications like stoma retraction and bowel obstruction.

The prophylactic implantation of biological mesh can effectively prevent the occurrence of stoma-site incisional hernia (SSIH) in patients undergoing stoma retraction. Therefore, our study prospectively established and validated a mixed model, which combined radiomics, stepwise regression, and deep learning for the prediction of SSIH in patients with temporary ileostomy. The mixed model showed good discrimination of the SSIH patients on all cohorts, which outperformed deep learning, radiomics, and clinical models alone (overall area under the curve [AUC]: 0.

Introduction: The optimal type of colostomy for patients with anorectal malformations (ARM) remains unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the clinical outcomes of loop colostomies (LC) versus divided colostomies (DC) in patients with ARM.
Methods: After review registration (PROSPERO: CRD42024513335), we searched multiple databases for comparative studies on LCs and DCs in patients with ARMs.
