[Loop ileostomy--the first choice for relief of colon and rectum].
In numerous comparative investigations, loop-ileostomy has proved superior to transversostomy. The operative technique is described and experience from 27 loop-ileostomies carried out in a department for organ surgery are reviewed. The qualities of the method as compared with transversostomy are discussed on the basis of the literature and the authors' own results. It is concluded that loop-ileostomy may, in general, be preferred for temporary and palliative relief of the colon.
