Introduction An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations. There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies: A colostomy involves bringing a part or section of the colon, or large...

Developing an Experimental Aneurysm Model in a Rabbit Using an Elastase-Treated Vessel Pouch

Source: Wanderer, S., et al. Arterial Pouch Microsurgical Bifurcation Aneurysm Model in the Rabbit. J. Vis. Exp. (2020)This video demonstrates the creation of an experimental aneurysm model in a rabbit using an elastase-treated vessel pouch. After excising a segment of the right CCA, the pouch is treated with elastase, then sutured to the left CCA to restore blood flow. The resulting stress on the weakened pouch walls induces aneurysm formation.

An optimized technique for the microsurgical creation of arterial bifurcation aneurysms mimicking bifurcation human cerebral aneurysms is described. A venous pouch is sutured into an artificially created true bifurcation of both common carotid arteries. Facilitated microsurgical techniques and aggressive postoperative anticoagulation and analgesia lead to minimized morbidity rates and high aneurysm patency rates.

Melting Land and Sea Ice ExpandNOTE: This activity is a simulation of land- and sea-ice melting and their effects on water levels. First, label one graduated cylinder as 'Sea Ice' and the other graduated cylinder as 'Land Ice.' Hypotheses: the experimental hypothesis might be that the land ice melting will cause the water level to rise more than the melting sea ice. The null hypothesis would be that there will be no difference in the change in water level between the two containers. Add 10 ice...
FAQs
A close, comfortable seal helps contain intestinal or urinary output and reduces the chance of leakage. Effective containment also supports protection of the surrounding peristomal skin, where leakage or repeated exposure can contribute to irritation. Seal quality therefore connects the technical steps of pouch replacement with comfort, skin condition, and dependable daily management.
Inspection provides an opportunity to assess the stoma and the surrounding peristomal skin before applying the replacement system. This step helps identify visible skin irritation or other changes that may affect comfort and pouch management. Including inspection in routine care supports timely attention to skin condition rather than focusing only on collection and containment.
Sizing the skin-barrier opening helps match the replacement system to the stoma and supports a close, comfortable fit. An appropriately prepared opening is part of creating effective containment while limiting unnecessary exposure of the surrounding skin. This step is especially important because the barrier and pouch must function together as a secure collection system.
The sequence begins by gently loosening and removing the used pouch. The stoma and peristomal skin are then inspected, followed by cleansing and drying the area. Next, the skin-barrier opening is sized, and the new pouch is secured to create a close, comfortable seal. This ordered process combines assessment, preparation, and replacement.
Training is relevant across postoperative, rehabilitation, and long-term clinical settings. Nurses, patients, and caregivers may all need instruction, although their roles in daily care can differ. Teaching the procedure in these settings supports consistent pouch management and helps patients develop the independence needed for ongoing care outside the immediate postoperative period.
Learning each part of the process, from gently loosening the used pouch through securing the replacement system, gives patients and caregivers a structured approach to daily care. Repeated attention to inspection, cleansing, drying, sizing, and sealing can support more confident management. In clinical practice, this training helps extend care skills from supervised settings into long-term self-care.
