Abstract
A technique to minimize injury to the bowel and its associated mesentery during difficult stoma creation is presented. A penrose drain is used to ensheathe the terminal segment of bowel, creating a uniform "tube" of intestine, protecting and facilitating delivery of the bowel through the abdominal wall.
