Entrapment of bowel through the lateral gutter of the abdominal cavity, in the peritoneum or through the pelvic–peritoneal closure line after abdominoperineal resection of the rectum should be considered as a possible cause of intestinal obstruction. Bolus obstruction of an otherwise healthy ileostomy due to consumption of bulky, indigestible foods (notably fruit pith and nuts) is common. Retroperitoneal tunneling of ileostomy or colostomy (which was advocated in the past in order to avoid entrapment of the bowel in the lateral space) is especially likely to result in mechanical obstruction and has long since been abandoned for this reason.
