This study aims to describe and report the effectiveness of a novel, pressure‐sensing colostomy plug for reducing fecal leakage. Nine miniature Tibetan pigs, aged 6–8 months, were given colostomies and divided into three groups (n = 3 each group). A novel pressure‐sensing colostomy plug was placed in each pig and set to indicate when intestinal pressures of either 5, 10, or 15 mm Hg, respectively,...
