Abstract

The indications for pediatric stomas vary and several unique types of stomas are available. The function of an intestinal stoma is to divert the fecal stream, to decompress dilated or obstructed intestine, or to irrigate and evacuate stool. Stomas are constructed when an anastomosis is judged to be unsafe, there is a distal obstruction, or as protection of a distal anastomosis. Most pediatric intestinal stomas are temporary. Permanent intestinal stomas are used when attempts at reconstruction have failed.
