Umbilical stomal stenosis: a simple surgical revision technique.
Stenosis of stomas sited at the umbilicus presents a surgical challenge. A paucity of literature exists on the surgical management of this problem, despite its relatively frequent occurrence. A simple technique is described, using scar incision and advancement of an umbilical skin flap, to accomplish stomal revision.
