ABSTRACT: A good number of patients have to have colostomy or ilestomy as a part of a staged procedure during correction of complex surgical problems involving the gastrointestinal tract. Dressing of such enterostomy stomas with betel nut leaves (pan) is a very cheap and effective option, specially in a developing country like India. The authors' 9-year experience with 62 patients is described here. The results have been excellent in all but 2 cases of ileostomy.
