title: Appendicostomy as a venting enterostomy for colonic atresia.
abstract: Colonic atresia is usually managed surgically by resection and end-to-end anastomosis but preferably with a venting enterostomy, if presentation is delayed. A new technique of appendicostomy was performed as a venting enterostomy in eight cases of colonic atresia with good results in our children's hospital during the period 1990-1995.
