title: Performance evaluation of the extra corporeal enteral prosthesis (ECEP) vs a By-Pass.
abstract: Intestinal stoma constitutes a symptomatic treatment in a wide range of digestive diseases, such as rectal cancer, digestive traumatic perforation and inflammatory intestinal diseases. It affects a patient's life causing physiologic and social constraints. The stoma can lead to involution of the downstream digestive tissue, impairing his function in case of restored continuity. Some technical solutions have been developed in order to maintain intestinal continuity, reduce inflammatory risk and to increase patient's quality of life. In this paper, we describe a smart intestinal prosthesis equipped with a pump working as an intestinal segment and creating a bypass between the upstream and downstream intestinal sides. We also evaluate the performance the digestive prosthesis ECEP vs a simple digestive By-Pass.
