HIDALGO DONIGA, Carolina; CASO MAESTRO, Óscar; PEREZ TORRES, Jorge Brian y GARCIA MANZANARES, M.ª Elena. Vacuum-assited closure (vac) therapy in the treatment of the complete dehiscence of the mucocutaneous junction of the stoma. Gerokomos [online]. 2018, vol.29, n.3, pp.145-147. ISSN 1134-928X.
The use of vaccum-assisted therapy in the complete dehiscence of the mucocutaneous junction of the stoma is a new alternative since, to manage stoma complications, its use has been limited to partial dehiscence of the stoma during the last years. It is an uncommon complication, but it has a great relevance, because it complicates the stoma devices adaptation, it slows the healing of the wound, it requires spending more human and material resources and it has a direct impact over the quality of life of the patient. The approach to every case must be carried out in a multidisciplinary way (Surgery, Nursing and Nutrition) giving to the patient a special diet to reduce the stoma debit, associating the use of vaccum-assisted therapy in the dehiscent wound and employing suitable stoma devices for each situation.
