Introduction: An abdominal stoma is an opening of intestine on the anterior abdominal wall made surgically. The commonly performed procedures on the anterior abdominal wall include ileostomy and colostomy. The purpose of the present study was to identify indications of commonly performed intestinal stomas, nature and rate of complications related to stoma. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study which was carried out in patients of intestinal stoma in the department of general surgery, Pt. B D Sharma PGIMS Rohtak. A total of 117 patients were studied who were admitted through accident and emergency department needing intestinal stomas. The parameters studied include- age group of patients; causes of stoma formation, type of immediate complications, and rate of early complications with duration of symptoms related to stomas. Results: Ninety nine (84.62%) of patients were males and 18 patients were females (15.38%) in the ratio of 11:2. There were 101(86.32) ileostomies in which 64(54.70) were end and 37 (31.62) were loop ileostomies. There were 16(13.67) cases of colostomy making a total of 117 patients. Main indications of Ileostomy formation was enteric perforation (58.11%) 68 and injuries (14.52%) 17 Colostomy was mostly required in traumatic injuries (6.83%) 8, and colonic malignancy (4.27%) 5. Skin excoriation and ulceration were the most common (25%).These complications were worse in ileostomy than colostomy. In laparotomy wound infection (9.40%), stoma diarrhea (7%), and stoma retraction (6%) and prolapsed (6%) were other notable complications. A mortality rate of 1.7% was found in cases of ileostomy. Conclusion: Common indications for abdomen stomas were enteric perforation, trauma, and tuberculosis. Main complications included local skin problems, stoma diarrhea, prolapsed and retraction. Despite extensive surgical experience, complications of intestinal stomas still occur frequently and result in high morbidity.
