Abstract
A modified technique of colostomy is described which avoids the disadvantages of the more widely used technique employing a glass rod and rubber tube. The use of a rubber drain, instead of a glass rod, which is brought out through two small stab incisions allows the immediate fitting of a bag, thus avoiding contamination of the main incision.Keywords
