Abstract
Fifty-one patients undergoing left colon and rectal resection were selected for being at considerable risk of anastomotic dehiscence. They were treated postoperatively by colonic decompression using the Balloon Colostomy instead of a loop colostomy. The results of this technique are reported and discussed.Entities:
