Abstract:
A modified technique of decompressing tube cecostomy for transverse and left colonic obstructions is presented, using a large (9 millimeter) wire wrapped endotracheal tube. In this limited experience with five patients, this technique has shown a low morbidity, decreased hospitalization time and has given good decompression in preparation for the definitive operation.
