A simple method to avoid contamination while performing an immediate mucocutaneous suture of the intestinal stoma.
We herein report a simple method using intestinal clamps to prevent intraoperative contamination during an immediate mucocutaneous suture of the intestinal stoma. Using this technique, a protruded intestinal stoma can be constructed reliably without soiling. The technique can be used both for constructing an end as well as a loop intestinal stoma.
