[Analysis of medical/surgical complications of cutaneous ileostomy]. / Análisis de las complicaciones médico-quirúrgicas en las ileostomías cutáneas.

OBJECTIVE: Our objective is to carried out a descriptive study about medical-surgical complications and alterations about quality of life in stoma patients secondary to bladder tumour. PATIENTS AND METHOD: The series are composed of 67 patients. The mean age was 70.3 years. We analyse the following variable: early and late medical-surgical complications, the body mass index (BMI) change and the alteration of quality of life. RESULTS: The most frequent early complication is the ischemic necrosis (7%) without posterior repercussion. The late complications in frequency order are: peristomal dermatitis (18%), plane stoma (12%), peristomal hernia (12%), stenosis (9%) and granuloma (6%). The BMI changes don't conditionate a increase in the complications. The psychological adaptation is good in 92%, although the majority affirm a little changes in life-style, but they don't have a repercussion on quality of life. CONCLUSIONS: In this series we estimate a low incidence of complications. The preoperative counsel and the posterior following by the stoma care nurse-surgeon team, play a fundamental role on psychological adaptation after surgery.

OBJETIVOS: Nuestro objetivo es realizar un estudio descriptivo de las complicaciones médico-quirúrgicas y alteraciones de la calidad de vida de los pacientes portadores de derivación cutánea uretero-ileal por patología tumoral vesical. PACIENTES Y MÉTODO: La serie consta de 67 pacientes con una edad media de 70,3 años. Se analizan las siguientes variables: las complicaciones médico-quirúrgicas precoces tempranas y tardías, las variaciones del índice de masa corporal (IMC) y la afectación de la calidad de vida. RESULTADOS: La complicación precoz más frecuente es la necrosis de mucosa (7%) sin repercusión posterior. Las complicaciones tardías en orden de frecuencia son las dermatitis (18%), estoma plano (12%), hernia paraestomal (12%), estenosis (9%) y granulomas (6%). Las variaciones del IMC no condicionan un aumento del número de complicaciones. La adaptación psicológica es buena en el 92%, aunque la mayoría reconoce pequeños cambios en sus hábitos que no repercute en su calidad de vida. CONCLUSIÓN: En esta serie se aprecia una baja incidencia de complicaciones. Los consejos preoperatorios y el seguimiento posterior por el equipo cirujano-estomaterapeuta juega un papel fundamental en la adaptación psicológica después de la cirugía
