Treatment of skin irritation around enterostomies with cholestyramine ointment.

Eight patients with inflammation of the skin about the cutaneous stoma responded to local application of a 20% cholestyramine ointment in a short period of time. Two children treated with the hydrophilic base (Aquaphor) alone did not respond to treatment. The ileal bile acid patterns of two children with ileostomies were found to be different from that of the control group. Ileostomy patients had a higher concentration for total bile acids and a higher percentage of free bile acids.

Surgical management of colon atresia.

Colon atresia is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in the neonate and requires early diagnosis and prompt surgical treatment. It is impossible in the neonate to differentiate colon atresia from other forms of obstruction at the time of initial presentation. The diagnosis is confirmed roentgenographically, including views of the abdomen and contrast barium enema series. Lesions proximal to the splenic flexure are treated with initial resection of the atretic segment and a primary anastomosis. Those lesions distal to the splentic flexure are managed initally with a diverting loop colostomy with subsequent staged resection and anastomosis.
