Double Barrel Wet Colostomy for Urinary and Fecal Diversion
Journal Title: Journal of Urology & Nephrology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
In patients with an advanced primary or recurrent carcinoma, double-barreled wet colostomy can be used for pelvic exenteration and urinary tract reconstruction. It is a technique that separate urinary and fecal diversion with a single abdominal stoma. Distal end of the colon was sectioned and closed and bilateral ureters were implanted into the formed colon conduit. This technique can reduce ascending infection by avoiding fecal reflux to pelvis
