A new approach to the nipple in Kock's reservoir ileostomy using mersilene® mesh

  • Published:
Diseases of the Colon & Rectum

Abstract

Disinvagination of the nipple in reservoir ileostomy reached an incidence of 33 per cent. The research work we carried out in dogs enabled us to find a solution to this pitfall by using Mersilene® mesh for reinforcement of the nipple. The good results obtained encourage us to perform this procedure in human beings as well.
