Enterostomy According to Robson

Robson (or Mayo-Robson) enterostomy is a surgical procedure that is used to create an opening in the intestinal wall to remove intestinal contents. It is used for various intestinal diseases, such as obstruction, perforation, intestinal obstruction and others.

The procedure begins by inserting an endoscope through the rectum and into the colon. An incision is then made in the intestinal wall and a hole is created through which the intestinal contents will be removed. There can be one or several holes, depending on the nature of the disease.

Once the hole is created, the intestinal contents are removed through the hole and then the hole is closed using special sutures. The procedure usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, after which the patient can return to normal activities.

Robson enterostomy has a number of advantages over other methods of treating intestinal diseases. Firstly, it allows you to quickly remove the contents of the intestines and alleviate the patient’s condition. Secondly, it does not require a long hospital stay, which allows the patient to recover faster and return to normal life. Third, the procedure can be performed through a small incision in the skin, which reduces the risk of complications and shortens recovery time.

However, like any other surgical procedure, Robson enterostomy may have some risks and complications. For example, you may experience pain, discomfort, bleeding, or infection after the procedure. In addition, the procedure may cause indigestion, which can lead to a lack of nutrients in the body.

In general, Robson enterostomy is an effective method for treating intestinal diseases and has its advantages and disadvantages. Patients who require this procedure should be carefully evaluated and prepared for surgery to minimize risks and maximize benefits from the procedure.
