Abstract
There have been several developments in the evolutionary process associated with continent ileostomy. Despite a progressive decline of the early and late complications associated with this procedure, nipple valve slippage remains a common complication. A technique that provides additional stability to the nipple valve is described here. This procedure involves stapled anchorage of the nipple valve to the anterior pouch wall.
