AB  - The  right  transverse  colostomy  is  preferred  by  many  over  cecostomy  for  decompression  of  the  obstructed  colon  due  to  a  left-side  lesion.  This  procedure  completely  diverts  the  fecal  stream  and  permits  an  efficient  cleansing  and  preparation  of  the  obstructed  colon  proximal  to  the  lesion.  When  simple  diversion  of  the  fecal  stream  is  needed  as  a  complementary  component  of  an  elective  colonic  operation,  the  surgeon  should  consider  placement  of  a  proximal  diverting  loop  ileostomy  (see  Chapter  51).
