A new method of stomal reconstruction in patients with retraction of conventional ileostomy.
A new method of stomal reconstruction has been evaluated in three patients with retraction of a conventional ileostomy associated with special problems. A polyglactin 910 mesh has been used for remodeling of the ileostomy. The observation times vary from 20 to 37 months. There has been no recurrence of retraction in any of the patients during this period.
