In 60 patients a small bowel enterostomy was constructed as part of the treatment of various intra-abdominal infectious and obstructive conditions. Eleven patients (18 per cent) died in the immediate postoperative period from continuing sepsis. In one patient closure of the stoma was not considered because of disseminated malignancy. In the remaining 48 patients continuity of the gut was subsequently restored. In 22 patients (46 per cent) complications occurred, 12 (25 per cent) of which were intra-abdominal septic complications. The occurrence of intra-abdominal complications was found to be linked to premature (i.e. within 3 months) closure of the stoma. Reasons for premature closure were stomal difficulties and prerenal azotaemia. Stomal closure was attended by a 10 per cent mortality rate.
