Abstract
A method for constructing a continent colostomy has been tried in dogs. The pylorus sphincter with blood supply by the left gastroepiploic vessels was transposed around or anastomosed to the terminal abdominal colostomy in five dogs. One dog had a colostomy without pylorus transplantation. Evaluation was by clinical (consistency and weight of fecal material and number of defecations per day), radiologic, and manometry studies. There was no difference in the clinical data. In all the dogs, the radiologic study demonstrated emptying of the contrast medium to the peristomal skin. By manometry one high-pressure zone was demonstrated, and, in all dogs with a transposed or anastomosed pyloric segment, the average resting pressure was superior to that of the control dog. However, the transposed pylorus sphincter alone was not sufficient to control continence.
