Background/Aim:
The purpose of this article was to report an adapted colostomy procedure that can be used on patients with multiple morbidities requiring fecal diversion.
Methods:
An adapted colostomy was performed on a patient needing fecal diversion who had multiple surgical and medical complications.
Results:
Thirteen weeks after colostomy placement, the patient's colostomy functioned well and was viable throughout his course without related complications.
Conclusion:
The method of sigmoidoscopy-assisted colostomy described here can be beneficial to the complicated patient needing fecal diversion but unable to tolerate a laparotomy or laparoscopy.

Ostomy Care
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:
