A method of transperitoneal ileal stoma relocation without formal laparotomy is described. Twenty of these procedures were performed during a ten year period. There was one postoperative failure. The barium stomal injection is a valuable aid in the peroperative diagnosis of possible underlying Crohn's disease. Transperitoneal relocation of an ileal stoma without formal laparotomy is a safe and useful method in selected patients.
