Abstract
Colostomies were performed under laparoscopic control on three patients. In this paper,our experience using laparoscopy in colostomies is evaluated and the usefulness of laparoscopy for colostomies is discussed. The advantages of laparoscopy for colostomy are：firstly,it enables us by means of a small puncture wound to observe the whole intraperitoneal space,secondly,the most suitable point at which the colon can be brought out through the most abdominal wall,and finally,it makes care of stomas easier because there will be no other wound around the stomas.
The results obtained from such surgical experiences may suggest that the use of laparoscopy in constructing colostomies should be adovocated in some cases.
