The magnetic stoma device

Abstract
The magnetic ring device implanted in an attempt at achieving continence in the colonic stoma, consists of a s.c. ring and a removable magnetic cap with a charcoal filter. Fourteen patients were selected from a potential number of 58 candidates. Fifty per cent of the patients have had good results. No complications were attributable to the implanted device. There was no incidence of parastomal hernia.
