Words from patients using The Insides® System:

"The whole process is quick and simple and once it’s functioning it is fairly easy to deal with." - Sarah Capper, Patient at Sheffield Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

Emma McCutcheon

On October 4th 2021 I was in the back seat of a car that was involved in a head on collision accident. I sustained multiple abdominal injuries predominately associated with my stomach and bowel which had multiple perforations. My other injuries involved my spleen (which was removed), liver, pancreas (partially removed), kidney, hip, spine, ribs and pelvis...

At the end of November 2019, I was operated on for a bowel obstruction at the hospital in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland by Dr. A. Paroz, a specialist in abdominal surgery. During this operation, the surgeon removed 50 cm of intestine and installed a two-port ileostomy. I went home after 6 weeks in hospital...

I had been very unwell for almost 5 years with complications & many surgeries to fix an abdominal hernia, battling with continuous infections. Parts of the large abdominal mesh had been removed & it was eventually decided to remove the rest to stop further complications. A major operation was carried out to achieve this. The operation was thought to be successful but during the following night my stomach swelled until the operation site burst open! Sepsis had occurred and it felt like my bowel just appeared on my stomach. It was a disaster...

I was very poorly, weighing 39kg, TPN fed via PICC line for 24hrs per day and I had to cart the drip stand everywhere I went. I could not eat or drink, only sips of fluids and took paracetamol to help with pain and discomfort from the NG tube that I had fitted for 11 weeks. I had a urinary catheter, NG tube, and stoma bag, so manoeuvring all this around was a challenge...

20 years ago I had surgery to repair a large hernia with mesh. In February 2022, I noticed a small hole on the right side of my tummy which was oozing so I put a plaster on it. The next day the hole got bigger until I had two separate openings below one another. I informed the doctor who sent district nurse’s around to see me. By the time they arrived a couple of days later, the two holes had become one big hole measuring 40mm – 30mm. The district nurses packed the wound and dressed it, but it kept on oozing and soaking my dressing. Eventually a small stoma bag was applied to capture the fluid coming out. I received antibiotics three times throughout the four months that this continued...

I underwent an operation in June of 2022 by Professor Harris at Swansea hospital. I had to have some of my small intestine removed, and it wasn’t safe to join the bowel back together, so I had a double barrelled jejunostomy and end colostomy...

Emergency admission to Pinderfields Hospital, Wakefield with severe abdominal pain. Initial operation found a tear in the small intestine. Further examination revealed an adhesion which had partially closed the bowel overtime which had caused the blockage which then led to the perforation. Additionally, there was ischemia in a section of the bowel. I had two further operations on the bowel whilst remaining in intensive care (ICU) until 25 September 2022 when I moved onto an acute surgical ward. Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) was commenced immediately after the operation for 24 hours a day for the first 6 weeks, then it was reduced to 12 hours a day. I remained on this ward until 9 October 2022 when I was transferred to the colorectal unit at St James’s Hospital Leeds...

The Insides System chyme reinfusion tube was inserted on Wednesday 29th December 2021. I was nervous but my doctor put me at ease, and I had a nurse with me to assist. The tube was lubricated so went in easily and wasn’t painful - it just felt a bit strange! Once the tube was in, the pump was fitted on the end then the whole thing carefully put into a large stoma bag. The whole thing took about 15 minutes...
