Two-trocar technique for terminal sigmoid colostomy in a patient with complex pelvic fracture.

We report a multiple trauma case with complex pelvic fractures and perineal wounds. The patient had a laparoscopic abdominal exploration with a simultaneous laparoscopic colostomy using the same wounds. Only two trocars were needed to perform both procedures. The technique is detailed here. The procedures were performed in less than an hour, with excellent postoperative recovery, achieving complete diversion of the rectal fecal contents.
