Technique and results of the colonic conduit, continent by means of a new magnetic stoma seal an experimental study.
On the basis of satisfactory results with a new magnetic stoma seal in colostomy patients this seal, consisting of a magnetic ring and cap, was used in an experimental study to convert the colonic conduit into a continent reservoir. Complete continence was obtained in all of the 12 animals which survived the operation. All rings were well accepted by the tissue when the procedure was staged by implanting the ring transperitoneally several weeks prior to fashioning of the conduit. Residual urine was low, owing to an ideal energy-balance pattern. Coloureteric reflux was successfully prevented in all cases where a long-tunnel-modification of the Leadbetter-Clarke technique was used. Hyperchloraemic acidosis and deterioration in renal function were not observed. All conduits were infected.
