Abstract
A case of abdominoperineal amputation with continent colostomy with neosphincter implanted in the perineum is presented. The technique and its follow-up of 19 months are related. The success of 24-hour continence and the patient's comfort when compared with that of classic abdominal colostomies justify its use in selected patients.
