Popis: Background: Heitzer and Duret described the surgical creation of colostomy in the 1700s, more than a century before the introduction of anesthesia. With the ever increasing degree of frailty in patients of advanced age who require surgical intervention, a simplified methodology for the creation of a colostomy based on their original reports is described and the advantages for use in high risk patients and the critical care setting is discussed. Methods: Eleven patients underwent simplified colostomy under local anesthesia, without complication. Results: All colostomies functioned normally within hours. There were no bleeding or infectious complications, nor peri-operative adverse events. Conclusions: Colostomy formation can be safely performed under local anesthesia when the patient is considered too high risk to undergo general anesthesia.
