[Urgent resection of the colon with compressive anastomosis and afferent colostoma]
Abstract:
Thirty patients with colon disease in need of urgent surgery have undergone resection of the colon with formation of terminal afferent colostomy and compressive colon-colon anastomosis using oval and linear nikelid-titanium implants. Complications were seen in 6 (20%) patients, lethality was 6,7% due to multiorgan failure in the presence of generalized peritonitis. There were no complications due to colon-colon anastomosis. The above method permits one to reduce surgical trauma of future reconstructive surgeries.

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:
Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy
Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...
