Perianal Maceration in Pediatric Ostomy Closure Patients

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Perianal Dermatitis, Diaper Dermatitis, Postoperative Complications, Colostomy Site, Ileostomy - Stoma

In brief

This pilot study will explore whether preoperative application of stool from the stoma bag to the perianal area will prevent/ decrease postoperative perianal maceration in pediatric ostomy closure patients. It will also explore the overall safety and feasibility of this pilot study for larger randomized control trials. There will be a control group and an intervention group. The intervention group will apply stool from the stoma bag approximately 4 weeks prior to ostomy closure and fill out a compliance log and upload pictures weekly to the MyCHP (My Children's Hospital) portal. A validated diaper dermatitis score will be utilized in this study.
