Abstract
To apply preventive T-shaped enterostomy in protective defunctioning stoma. Technique of enterostomy closure was only made in abdominal wall rather than abdominal cavity. A total of 78 patients undergoing protective ostomy from January 2005 to April 2012 were divided into two groups of routine enterostomy (group A, n=52) and protective T-shaped enterostomy (group B, n=26). The length of operation and average hospital stay in group A with stoma closure were (98±16) min and (15.3±5.2) days while those of group B (52±9) min and (9.5±2.3) days. The inter-group differences were statistically significant respectively (P<0.05). Therefore protective T-shaped enterostomy, showing advantages in operative skills, operative trauma and postoperative recovery time, is an effective technique and its application should be further promoted. Key words: Enterostomy; Abdominal wall
