    A new technique converts simple loop colostomy into a completely defunctioning colostomy by ligating the distal limb. This method ensures complete fecal stream diversion, is simple, effective, and reduces operating time.

    Area of Science:

    • Colorectal Surgery
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Gastrointestinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Double-barrel colostomy can present complications.
    • Loop colostomy is a common surgical procedure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel technique for converting a simple loop colostomy into a completely defunctioning colostomy.
    • To offer an alternative to the double-barrel colostomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Ligation of the distal limb of a loop colostomy using nylon.
    • Conversion of a simple loop colostomy to a defunctioning colostomy.

    Main Results:

    • The technique ensures complete diversion of the fecal stream.
    • The method is simple, effective, and reduces operating time.

  • The conversion is easily reversible (closed).

    • Conclusions:

    • Nylon ligation of the distal limb provides a simple, effective method for creating a defunctioning colostomy.
    • This technique serves as a valuable alternative to the double-barrel colostomy.
    • The procedure offers reduced operating time and ease of closure.
