[Terminalized lateral colostomy].
Complete diversion of the digestive transit requires intestinal section and terminal rather than lateral colostomy. This can now be achieved by using a mechanical stapler to obturate temporarily the distal end of the colonic segment bearing a conventional lateral colostomy, then performing an extra-mucosal anastomosis to re-establish continuity. This technique can be applied to protect low colonic anastomoses or to treat a minor anastomotic disruption. It can also be extended to ileostomy.
