Chuang TY, Tingey P, Malik H, Srinath H, Sax A. A novel approach of non-surgical faecal diversion technique with stoma bag application: A case report. Int J Case Rep Images 2018;9:100971Z01TC2018.ABSTRACT
Introduction: Faecal diversion techniques are commonly used to avoid contamination of wounds in the perianal, gluteal, or upper thigh regions. Diversion may be achieved using operative or non-operative methods. Traditional non-operative methods may be less effective for patients with anal sphincter damage or dysfunction.
Case Report: Our report discusses a novel faecal diversion technique in a 67-year old female with a gluteal abscess complicated by necrotising fasciitis, which effectively used a perianal stoma to prevent faecal contamination of her wound.
Conclusion: This method was safe, inexpensive, and effective, and prevented the need of operative management. We feel this technique is valuable in preventing faecal wound contamination in individuals with anal sphincter damage or dysfunction.
Keywords: Faecal diversion, Stoma bag, Perianal stoma
