Table 8 Summary of treatments for stoma stenosis
From: Surgical management of ostomy complications: a MISSTO–WSES mapping review
Type of treatment | Indications | Drawbacks |
|---|---|---|
Non-operative management | Mild-moderate stenosis Bridge to surgery | Further fibrosis and stenosis Poor results in the long-term |
Emergency surgical treatment | Rare indication: technical failure for inadequate procedure with early postoperative occlusion | Further surgical stress often in high-risk, fragile patients |
Elective surgical treatment | Moderate or severe stenosis Stenosis not responding to non-operative management | Risk of high complications rate in case of laparotomy and stoma refashioning if local revision not suitable |
