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.
