06/01/1997 - "Patients chosen for colostomy had significantly greater blood loss, more associated injuries, and higher scores on the Abdominal Trauma Index (ATI) and Colon Injury Scale (CIS) and were more likely to have gross contamination (P < 0.05). "
11/01/1995 - "The early closure of colostomies and the use of loop colostomies whenever possible are recommended as both safe and beneficial for patients with colonic injury after trauma. "
11/01/1992 - "Primarily as a result of its successful use in military settings, colostomy initially was the mainstay of treatment for penetrating injury to the colon, rectal injury, and some forms of blunt trauma. "
11/01/1991 - "The main area of controversy was the management of colonic wounds where the recent trend away from mandatory colostomy was followed by good results. "
10/01/2015 - "Over the 6-year study period, 218 patients underwent colostomy takedown after trauma with a mean age of 30; 190 (87 %) were male, 162 (74 %) had penetrating injury as their indication for colostomy, and 98 (45 %) experienced at least one complication. "

10/01/1988 - "In contrast to the anticipated poor prognosis, vesicostomy and divided transverse colostomy performed after birth followed by prophylaxis of infection and bicarbonate supplementation have resulted in a good outcome. "
02/01/1987 - "Possible advantages of the stapled colostomy are enhanced blood flow to the stomal site, reduced incidence of peristomal infection, and improved appliance fit."
05/01/2006 - "Our aim in this study is to systematically review the literature to define when diverting colostomy is indicated to protect the patient from infection in open blunt pelvic fractures. "
07/01/1986 - "This study reports a technique that emphasizes anatomic considerations in the diagnosis and treatment of these infections together with mandatory use of colostomy in selected cases. "
10/01/2015 - " colostomy and debridement, the temporary VSD cover followed after several days by skin grafting is a reliable treatment regimen for severe buttocks and perianal infection. "

02/14/1994 - "Suture and transverse colostomy is superior to resection for purulent peritonitis because of the lower postoperative mortality rate."
04/01/1993 - "Suture and transverse colostomy is superior to resection for purulent peritonitis because of the lower postoperative mortality rate and in spite of the shorter hospital stay in those surviving acute resection."
01/01/2015 - "Traditionally, the gold standard has been resection and colostomy, but recently peritoneal lavage and drainage without resection in cases of purulent peritonitis have been suggested. "
02/01/2010 - "The gold standard for treatment of this complication is surgery to be performed as rapidly as possible: a simple suture and peritoneal cleaning, with limited resection and anastomosis or colostomy only in case of confirmed fecal peritonitis. "
12/01/2009 - "The gold standard of treatment in the case of fecal peritonitis in association with traumatic rectal perforation is closure of the perforation in combination with a diverting colostomy. "
