ABSTRACT:
A temporary colostomy apparatus for diverting the fecal stream and comprising an open ended excrement tube including a fecal receiving end having a liquid inflatible balloon on the outside thereof. A dissolvable and absorbable band is snugly wrapped around the outside of the colon at a preselected location. The tube is inserted inside the colon through a slit opening, so that the balloon is further inward but adjacent the band. The balloon is inflated so that the outer circular periphery thereof contacts the inside surface of the arrested colon and has a circumference slightly larger than the band. The inflated balloon and the band are in an abutting relationship with a common area of the colon sandwiched therebetween, to prevent outward movement of the tube. A retainer ring is positioned on the disposal end of the tube and pressed against the outside of the body to prevent inward movement of the tube. A disposable bag is secured to the disposal end of the tube on the outside of the body for collecting the fecal stream fully diverted into the receiving end of the tube. The colon is sutured to the abdominal wall adjacent the surgical openings in the colon and abdomen, to further stabilize the position of the tube inside the colon. When normal colon and rectal bowel functions could be resumed and prior to any substantial dissolving of the band, the balloon is deflated and the excrement tube is removed from the colon. The band remains encircled around the colon and in time the band is dissolved, absorbed and excreted from the body.
