Abstract

Background: Neonatal ostomy management is challenging even under the best circumstances. When complex circumstances are encountered, creative pouching techniques must be employed.

 

Cases: This article describes management of 5 neonates with problematic ostomies.

 

Conclusion: Maintaining a neonatal pouch seal at times requires using modified adult pouching products; however, caution should always be used due to the fragility of this patient population.
