Objective Self‐everting ileostomy. Method After delivering the small bowel through the trephine wound the bowel is opened and with time the mucosa migrates to the skin edge forming a spouted ileostomy. Results Five patients underwent the self‐everting ileostomy with no stomal complications experienced. The end result is indistinguishable from a primarily sutured stoma. Conclusion The self‐everting ileostomy can be a useful technique to get out of a difficult situation.
