Abstract
Extraperitoneal colostomy is a widely used technique during abdominoperineal resection (APR) operation for lower rectal cancer. This technique has been reported to be effective to prevent the postoperative parastomal hernia in some retrospective studies, however, there is still a certain incidence of parastomal hernia. A modification of the extraperitoneal colostomy technique is described in this paper that keeps posterior rectal sheath intact instead of having a conventional incision, to further reduce the risk of parastomal hernia. Until now, this modified technique has been performed in 15 patients, no occurrence of parastomal hernia was observed.
