Abstract:
Stoma formation for fecal diversion is a common procedure in patients with various complicated conditions after colorectal surgery, such as anastomotic leakage. The single-incision laparoscopic approach for stoma creation offers several advantages, including a reduction in surgical wounds and related complications as well as optimal visualization of the surgical field. This video demonstrates a single-port-assisted diverting ileostomy in a 61-year-old man with anastomotic leakage following low anterior resection for advanced rectal cancer.

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.

There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:
