Abstract :
Introduction: the aim of current is to compare clinical outcomes between the divided end loop and separate
double barrel colostomy in neonates with imperforate anus.
Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study to
review 184 pa ents who presented with imperforate anus
and were managed with a divided end loop or separate
double barrel colostomy between 2017 and 2020.
Complications were compared in the two groups.
Results: There was more skin excoriation in separate
double barrel colostomy compared to divided end loop
colostomy (p=0.001). The mean of scar size in pa ents of
divided end loop colostomy group was lower than that of
separate double barrel colostomy significantly (p<0.0001).
Conclusion: Our results suggest that divided end loop
colostomy may be more acceptable than separate double barrel colostomy for neonates with imperforate anus.
