Summary: | A surgical technique is described for a new intracolonic bypass procedure in patients who underwent colonic surgery with an unprepared colon.
Resection and primary anastomosis was performed. The intraluminal bypass tube used was a latex condom.
No clinical anastomotic leakage was noted.
This is a safe, low cost, and uncomplicated procedure that decreases the risk of dehiscence and permits the performance of a high number of primary anastomosis. |
