Complete extraperitoneal cecostomy. An ileo-colic diversion procedure after colonic operations.

: A new external diversion technique of ileo-colonic content through an extraperitoneal cecostomy is presented. This technique avoids the draw back of the classical cecostomy: intraperitoneal leakage intestinal content, reoperation for closure the stoma. The procedure is simple, easily performed and efficient in protecting the colonic anastomosis, and diverting the ileo-colonic content.
