Abstract
Abbasi, H.R., Yazdani, S., Mehrabani, D., Tanideh, N., Vasei, M., Rasehkhi, A.R., Hosseini, S.V. and Amini, M. 2008. Evaluation of mushroom catheter for diverting loop ileostomy: an experimental study in dog. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 33: 25–28. This experiment was conducted to examine a new surgical method of ileostomy for fecal diversion using mushroom catheter in an animal model. In 10 dogs, a mushroom catheter was inserted in the lumen of terminal ileum and was fixed to the abdominal wall. It was removed after 2 weeks and an enterocutaneous fistula was created. Finally at the end of 4th week after operation, samples were provided from terminal ileum and the colon anastomosis site and were studied radiologically and pathologically. Two dogs succumbed to complications and the remaining 8 dogs were alive till the end of 4th week post-operation. In all dogs, catheters were removed by themselves in 8–13th post-operation day and drainage from the created enterocutaneous fistula (site of mushroom catheter) was stopped after 2 weeks. Radiological studies showed closure of fistula without any stenosis in the site of purse suturing of the lumen of terminal ileum at the end of 4th week post-operation. We suggest this new method of ileostomy to be able to divert fecal stream for about one month (in order to preserve distal colon anastomosis).
