[Probe for decompression of the bowel]

Two-lumen probe for decompression of the bowel after resection of the colon is proposed. At the final stage of the operation the probe is led though the bowel and above the completed anastomosis, and its end introduced into the ileum, where it is fixed by the inflated cuff. In these conditions the ileal content is passing along the inner tube and is coming out, escaping the anastomosis; the lumen of the colon at that time is being irrigated by antiseptic solutions through another channel of the probe.
