Colonoscopy-assisted 'trephine' sigmoid colostomy.
Digestive Surgery 2003
Fecal diversion is often required to treat complex traumatic, malignant or inflammatory anorectal conditions. In such circumstances, the formation of a proximal, 'trephine' sigmoid colostomy would avoid the need for, and the associated morbidity of, a formal laparotomy. We describe a technique which combines intraoperative colonoscopy with a diverting, 'trephine' sigmoid colostomy, thereby helping the surgeon to identify the correct loop of bowel, to avoid inadvertent maturing of the wrong end of the divided colon, and to exclude intracolonic lesions.
