WHAT IS A REVISION?

We often hear people asking, “What is a revision?” The term applies to a surgical correction of the stoma. This may be a small procedure done in out-patient surgery, or it may be a procedure requiring hospitalization. Four common reasons for revisions are listed below. But, before we begin, please bear in mind that these conditions may be present without causing much trouble—in which case a revision is not needed.)

Revisions are most frequently done to correct:

1. A tight stoma

2. A prolapse (when the stoma becomes very long and large)

3. A retraction (when the stoma becomes so short that it is below the skin level)

4. In the case of a hernia, so near the ostomy that it interferes with management.
