In experienced hands and with proper patient selection it is safe easy and quick. Complications Perioperative complications are comparable with those of ST and these are mostly minor. An important advantage of PT over ST is that there is no need to move a critically ill patient to the operating room and the rate of stomal infection is very low. Although data on late complications of PT are not yet sufficient available reports show a favourable result.

The decision on which method to use should solely be made depending on the clinical situation and the experience of the operator. The learning curve demands caution attention to detail and adequate experience on the part of the intensive care physician. Although PT is unfortunately declared easy it must be left in the hands of experienced physicians to avoid unnecessary complications and the risk of overimplementation should be kept in mind.
