Abstract

A new method of "end loop" colostomy is described which avoids the conventional large bulky loop colostomy. The proximal and distal lumens can be easily irrigated or studied. The possibility of prolapse of the distal limb of the colostomy is minimized. After proper training in irrigation, the patients are able to use a stoma cap instead of colostomy bags.

Button-pexy fixation for repair of ileostomy and colostomy prolapse.

Intestinal stomas are used in the surgical management of a number of congenital and acquired gastrointestinal conditions. Minor stomal complications are relatively common and are often well managed with nonoperative measures. Stomal prolapse may not represent a serious problem, but occasionally it requires surgical correction because of severe skin excoriation, bleeding, or incarceration of the bowel. The authors describe the treatment of stomal prolapse with the technique of button-pexy fixation, as originally described by C.W. Mayo.

Sitting a transverse colostomy.

Traditional teaching suggests that a transverse colostomy should be sited in the right upper quadrant. This study of 67 colostomies (26 right upper quadrant and 41 right iliac fossa) indicates that they should be placed in the optimum position for each patient, which is usually the right iliac fossa.
