Background: Intestinal and urinary stomas are common in elective and emergency surgery. Emergency surgery represents an important risk factor for early and late complications, as conditions such as trauma, obstruction, peritonitis, or perforated diverticulitis do not allow for adequate preoperative preparation and correct stoma placement. Objective: To analyze the type, frequency, onset timing, and healing time of early stomal and peristomal complications in the first postoperative month, in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy or laparoscopic surgery, followed at the stoma clinic of a university hospital in North-East Italy. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on anonymized data provided by the Data Set Processing Center of the Padova University Hospital, relating to patients operated on an emergency basis between July 1, 2023, and July 31, 2025. Results: Perforated diverticulitis was the main indication for emergency colostomy, while tumors were the main indication for ileostomy. The use of laparoscopy increased during the period considered. Early complications affected 42.25% of colostomies and 35.9% of ileostomies. Mucocutaneous separation was the most frequent complication in colostomies, while peristomal skin contact lesions were the most frequent in ileostomies. Ischemia was the most rapidly occurring complication (mean 5.2 days), while mucocutaneous separation was the one with the longest healing time (mean 22.2 days). Conclusions: The sample was homogeneous in terms of demographic and clinical characteristics. The number of follow-up visits was significantly associated with the type of complication, highlighting the importance of timely, competent, and educational nursing assistance in reducing the follow-up burden and improving the patients' quality of life.
Background: Le stomie intestinali e urinarie sono frequenti in chirurgia elettiva e d’urgenza. La chirurgia d’urgenza rappresenta un importante fattore di rischio per complicanze precoci e tardive, poiché patologie come traumi, occlusioni, peritoniti o diverticoliti perforate non consentono un’adeguata preparazione preoperatoria e un corretto posizionamento della stomia. Obiettivo: Analizzare tipologia, frequenza, tempistica di insorgenza e guarigione delle complicanze stomali e parastomali precoci nel primo mese post-operatorio, in pazienti sottoposti a chirurgia d’urgenza laparotomica o laparoscopica, seguiti presso l’ambulatorio stomizzati di un ospedale universitario del Nord-Est Italia. Materiali e metodi: È stata condotta un’analisi retrospettiva sui dati anonimizzati forniti dal Centro Elaborazione Data Set dell’Azienda Ospedale Università di Padova, relativi a pazienti operati in urgenza tra il 1° luglio 2023 e il 31 luglio 2025. Risultati: La diverticolite perforata è risultata la principale indicazione per colostomia d’urgenza, mentre i tumori per ileostomia. L’impiego della laparoscopia è aumentato nel periodo considerato. Le complicanze precoci hanno interessato il 42.25% delle colostomie e il 35.9% delle ileostomie. Il distacco muco-cutaneo è stato il più frequente nelle colostomie, mentre le alterazioni cutanee peristomali da contatto nelle ileostomie. L’ischemia è risultata la complicanza a più rapida insorgenza (media 5.2 giorni), mentre il distacco muco-cutaneo quella con tempi di guarigione più lunghi (media 22.2 giorni). Conclusioni: Il campione è risultato omogeneo per caratteristiche demografiche e cliniche. Il numero di accessi di follow-up è risultato significativamente associato alla tipologia di complicanza, evidenziando l’importanza di un’assistenza infermieristica tempestiva, competente e educativa nel ridurre il carico di follow-up e migliorare la qualità di vita dei pazienti.
