[A simplified method of diverting colostomy].
The diversion of the fecal stream is necessary in some situations, to protect lower anastomosis, or in emergency operations on the colon. Several techniques of colostomy were described, in order to improve the sustaining bridge to the skin level, for the immediate placement of a colostomy bag. A simplified method of diverting colostomy is presented: a plastic tube bridge is passed subcutaneously, extraperitoneally, under the colon loop, permitting an immediate opening of the loop and the placement of the colostomy bag.
