Thirty years of the health care service for ostomy patients in Juiz de Fora and surroundings

Abstract

Objective: to establish the epidemiological profile of ostomized patients treated at the Health Care Service for Ostomy Patients in Juiz de Fora and region (SASPO/JF) and to quantify the pathologies that led to the stoma as well as the ostomy-related complications. Method: a retrospective study was carried out with the analysis of 496 medical records of patients registered at HCSOP/JF over 30 years and who remained in at the service in June 2018. The following variables were considered: age, sex, pathology that led to the stoma, type, time, location and complications of stomas. Results: 53.43% were male patients and 46.57% female. The average age was 56.24 years among men and 58.40 years among women. Eight patients had two types of ostomies simultaneously and a total of 504 ostomies were as follows: 340 colostomies (67.46%), 117 ileostomies (23.21%) and 47 urostomies (9.33%). Additionally, 47.65% of the colostomies and 76.92% of the ileostomies were temporary, while all urostomies were permanent. In 70.24% of cases, the reason for making the stoma was malignancy. There were 277 stomas with one or more complications (54.96%). Conclusions: most of the ostomized patients were over 50 years old and the main diagnosis that led to the stoma was malignancy. Ileostomies had a higher percentage of complications than colostomies and urostomies and, for all types of stomas, the most frequent complication was dermatitis.

“…In the same analysis, ileostomies corresponded to 23.2% of the sample, most of them being temporary, made in a loop and on the right. In both types, ostomies were mostly motivated by malignancy of the rectum and colon, in that order (SIRIMARCO et al, 2021).…”

Fatores associados à dermatite em pacientes estomizados

“…Corroborando o estudo de Sirimarco et al [20] no qual se evidenciou que o alto índice de dermatites tem sido correlacionado a maior frequência de troca do equipamento de coleta e também ao seu manuseio inadequado, o que pode ser consequência do longo período de estomia dos pacientes acompanhados. E outro Enfermagem Brasil 2022;21(4):482-494 estudo, de Salomé et al [21], constatou que a principal complicação foi dermatite, os pacientes conviviam com o estoma entre 1 a 10 anos.…”

“…However, it is worthy of note that other indications such as intestinal obstruction and trauma also rank as leading causes of ostomy surgery among the participants. In a study conducted by Sirimarco et al. (2021) rectal and colon cancer was the most frequent cause of placement of ostomy while less frequent causes included intestinal obstruction, rectum or colon perforation due to foreign body or trauma and inflammatory bowel disease.…”
