title: [Use of mechanical staplers in colostomy].
abstract: The authors used the technique of Chung, slightly modified, to perform the end colostomy in five patients who underwent abdomino-perineal resection according to Miles for rectal carcinoma. The technique proved to be easy and quick. The results have been satisfactory, without complications such as infections, necrosis, stenosis, retraction or paracolostomy hernias.
