title: Continent valve ileostomy.
abstract: 2 years of experience with the sphincteroplasty in colostomy as well as intensive histological studies have shown that gastrointestinal smooth muscle can be autotransplanted without loosing functional or histological integrity. The following conclusions are based on experimental studies in dogs: (1) the sphincteroplasty technique can be successfully applied in ileostomy, and (2) the sphincteroplasty must, however, be combined with a pre-sphincter valve and an omega loop with Braun's anastomosis. The first clinical results confirm this concept.
