title: [Use of stoma for decompression of the paralytic ileus (author's transl)].
abstract: Indications for the construction of a stoma in the handling of paralytic ileus caused by peritonitis should be ascertained early and completely, since this method is probably the safest and fastest way to relieve advanced intestinal paralysis. There is no need for a secondary laparotomy in order to close the stoma when a catheter-entero- or colostomy is performed. Replacement of lost fluid and electrolytes through the stoma should no longer present serious problems because of the possibilities offered by modern intensive care treatment.
