According to the technical modification described, a totally diverting ileostomy is performed with the help of a Foley catheter secured in the subcutaneous tissue, and pulled upward and to the right like a sling around the efferent loop. This simple modification allows for better protection of distal anastomosis and an optimal diversion of enteric transit. Furthermore, this technique also permits an easier postoperative handling of the stoma, an easier application of the stomal bags and at the same time, it also more efficiently prevents the eventual subcutaneous infiltration with enteric contaminated fluid. In the authors' preliminary experience with ten cases the procedure was shown to offer advantages in reducing local discomfort and also in achieving the objectives of a totally diverting ileostomy.: Springer-Verlag Tokyo, 2000 Key Words: ileostomy, colostomy, colonic surgery nationallicence Flati Giancarlo Department of Surgery, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Policlinico Umberto I, Rome, Italy, IT aut Talarico Carlo Department of Surgery, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Policlinico Umberto I, Rome, Italy, IT aut Carboni Manlio Department of Surgery, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Policlinico Umberto I, Rome, Italy, IT aut https://doi.org/10.1007/PL00010038 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/PL00010038 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Flati Giancarlo Department of Surgery, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Policlinico Umberto I, Rome, Italy, IT aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Talarico Carlo Department of Surgery, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Policlinico Umberto I, Rome, Italy, IT aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Carboni Manlio Department of Surgery, University of Rome "La Sapienza", Policlinico Umberto I, Rome, Italy, IT aut Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer
