A study comparing split with loop transverse colostomies for defunctioning the left colon

Abstract: STC is safe, effective and associated with a lower incidence of stomal complications compared with the established procedure for defunctioning the distal colon. We propose that STC should be used to defunction the left colon in locally advanced disease (whether benign or malignant) where closure of the stoma is not envisaged.
