A retrospective study on 18 patients with cecal volvulus surgically treated was made. Demographics and clinical data, as well as treatment were determined from clinical reports. The operative procedures employed were cecostomy (56%), cecopexy (22%) and right colectomy (22%). The length of follow up averaged 63 months and there was one recurrence.

Low zinc status and absorption exist in infants with jejunostomies or ileostomies which persists after intestinal repair. [PDF]
There is very little data regarding trace mineral nutrition in infants with small intestinal ostomies. Here we evaluated 14 infants with jejunal or ileal ostomies to measure their zinc absorption and retention and biochemical zinc and copper status. Zinc
