Hungarian term or phrase: stomazárás

Dear forum,

I understand what this means, but what is the English term? I find 'closing of the stoma' a lot with Google, but this appears to refer to plants.

Thanks,
Jilt

Mortality and Complications After Stoma Closure—Invited Critique

Philip H. Gordon, MD

Arch Surg. 2005;140:960.

Since this article does not have an abstract, we have provided the first 150 words of the full text and any section headings.

Stoma closure is so often considered a "minor" procedure, but as clearly and appropriately pointed out in this article, it is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This should not be unexpected because these patients are undergoing bowel operations and therefore should be accorded the same considerations and respect as any other patients undergoing bowel operation. A review of this large series afforded the authors the opportunity to adequately assess the morbidity from stoma closure. It was not surprising that the use of soft silicone drains was identified as a risk factor. Although not specifically mentioned by the authors, it would appear to be related to anastomotic leaks. Canalis and Ravitch1 many years ago clearly demonstrated that wrapping anastomoses with drains promoted anastomotic dehiscence, and hence, those surgeons who drain to "identify" the leak are indeed creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.
