    Area of Science:

    • Surgical technique refinement
    • Gastrointestinal surgery
    • Stoma management

    Background:

    • Temporary loop ileostomies are common in gastrointestinal surgery.
    • Current techniques can lead to skin complications and appliance issues.
    • Defunctioning stomas are crucial for protecting colorectal anastomoses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a refined technique for temporary loop ileostomy construction.
    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this new method.
    • To assess its utility as a covering stoma in challenging colorectal procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • A subcutaneous absorbable bridge is utilized for loop ileostomy construction.
    • The technique aims to keep the skin surface clear for immediate appliance fitting.

  • Clinical data from 22 patients were collected and analyzed.

    • Main Results:

    • The refined technique results in an uncluttered skin surface.
    • Immediate fitting of a watertight appliance is facilitated.
    • The stoma proved to be safe and simple, with a low complication rate in 22 patients.

    Conclusions:

    • The described technique offers a safe and simple method for creating a temporary defunctioning loop ileostomy.
    • It effectively minimizes complications and simplifies appliance management.
    • This approach has become a preferred alternative to loop colostomy for protecting difficult colorectal anastomoses in our practice.
