Self-everting ileostomy.
After delivering the small bowel through the trephine wound the bowel is opened and with time the mucosa migrates to the skin edge forming a spouted ileostomy.
Five patients underwent the self-everting ileostomy with no stomal complications experienced. The end result is indistinguishable from a primarily sutured stoma.
The self-everting ileostomy can be a useful technique to get out of a difficult situation.
