    Notes: Abstract A prospective surgical audit of all colostomies fashioned over a 1-year period in one hospital was conducted. Of one hundred and ten colostomies there were 56 loop and 52 end stomas. Following the formation of the colostomy a proforma was completed and the surgeon interviewed to document the precise surgical technique employed. Whilst in hospital the patients were regularly reviewed and the colostomies assessed by a surgeon and stomatherapist using a scoring system. Follow up was continued until closure of the colostomy or for a minimum period of 1 year. Only 53 (48%) of patients saw a stomatherapist preoperatively. This rate was higher in elective (86%) than in urgent cases (15%). The surgial technique used did not appear to influence the outcome of any given colostomy. However, failure to cruciate the posterior rectus sheath may predispose to stomal stenosis and the use of a subcutaneous polyethylene rod to support a loop colostomy often led to infection. Tension of the colostomy led to complications in 29 cases (26%), this was often the precipitating event to other complications and led to the only colostomy-related death. Registrars with experience of fewer than 5 colostomies received their training largely from other registrars rather than consultants. This prospective surgical audit has disclosed that fashioning a colostomy carries significant stoma related morbidity, most of which is potentially avoidable. Appropriate audit can contribute to the maintenance and improvement of surgical standards.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La polypose adénomateuse familiale (PAF) est un état pré-cancéreux génétique qui, s'il n'est pas traité, aboutira au développement d'un cancer colo-rectal. C'est une maladie de l'adulte jeune. Les polypes rectaux et coliques sont rarement vus avant 10 ans. La surveillance des parents cliniquement asymptomatiques commence généralement durant la deuxième décade. Puisque tous les patients doivent être traités chirurgicalement avant l'apparition d'un cancer la détection précoce de la dysplasie est d'une extrème importance. Le cas présent rapporte l'histoire d'une jeune garçon de 8 ans avec une PAF chez qui on a trouvé un degré significatif de dysplasie dans un polype. Ce cas demeure une exception et une approche univoque de la surveillance et du traitement des patients atteints de PAF est encore encouragée.
    Notes: Abstract Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), is a genetic premalignant condition which, if untreated, will ultimately manifest with the development of colorectal carcinoma. It is a disease of young adulthood. Rectal and colonic polyps are seldom seen before 10 years of age. Screening of clinically asymptomatic relatives thus generally starts during the teenage years. Carcinoma of the colon is exeedingly rare in children with FAP. While all adult patients should be surgically treated before the appearance of any carcinoma, early detection of dysplasia is paramount. The present case history relates to an 8-year-old boy with FAP who was found to have a significant degree of dysplasia in polyp. This case remains the exception and a uniform approach to the screening and treatment of patients with FAP is still encouraged.
