RESUMO
The authors were able to prevent uncontrollable discharge of intestinal contents in 70 patients with colostomy by means of a pneumo-obturator of an original design. Its advantages over magnetic obturating devices were revealed: the simple and light design, hygienic properties, short adaptation period, and no need for implantation of a foreign body into the tissues surrounding the colostomy. Sixty-four patients use the device regularly and are able to retain feces of any consistency. No complications have been noted. The pneumo-obturator may therefore be used for creating a new method for controllable evacuation of the intestine.
