Abstract
The colon possesses unique physiologic qualities which can be used to the surgeon’s
advantage: it consists of true serosal and mucosal layers which are easily separated for
creation of nonrefluxing ureteral anastomoses; it has a larger lumen than small bowel
segments which reduces risk of stenosis; it has a much more mobile vascular pedicle
which allows greater flexibility for stoma location; and it has multiple segments useable
for diversion depending on specific patient needs.
