Abstract
Percutaneous endoscopic colostomy is an analogue of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. Percutaneous endoscopic colostomy may be a good alternative to surgical colostomy for the patients who are poor candidates for surgery. This report desribes the management of three cases with various gastrointestinal disorders by percutaneous endoscopic colostomy.
Keywords:
Volvulus, neurogenic bowel, percutaneous colostomy
