Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Surgical Techniques

Background:

Temporary total intestinal diversion is a surgical option for specific clinical situations.
Indications include severe peritonitis, multiple suture lines, fistulas, compromised vascular integrity, and ileoanal anastomosis.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the technique and benefits of temporary total diversion of the small intestine.
To highlight the ease of restoring intestinal continuity with this method.

Main Methods:

The procedure mirrors the creation of a permanent Brooke ileostomy.
The distal intestine is closed and sutured side-to-side to the proximal intestine.
A tube is placed in the distal segment for radiologic assessment.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

The technique allows for straightforward restoration of intestinal continuity.
Segments are easily retrieved through a small incision for anastomosis construction.

Conclusions:

Temporary total intestinal diversion offers a valuable approach for managing complex intestinal conditions.
The method simplifies subsequent reversal and re-establishment of bowel continuity.
