[Colostomy continence achieved with an implanted circular magnet (author's transl)].
A new method of providing a colostomy continent for faeces and gas is described. It consists of the subcutaneous implantation of a magnetic ring which is led outside through the lumen of the colon and sutured to the skin. The colostomy is closed with a magnetic cover. The procedure has been used in 17 patients with a permanent colostomy after rectal excision and has been highly successful.
