[Creation of a colostomy using a circular mechanical stapler].
The paper describes the method used to create a preternatural anus in terminal stomas using a mechanical circular stapler (Model EEA-31). Two methods are put forward: Chung's and Burke's methods (the latter of which was used by our department). A mechanical circular stapler has been used several times (13) to perform this type of stoma, with excellent esthetic and functional results, both immediate and long-term. It was only necessary to reoperate in one case in order to suspend the affected colic loop.
