[Original excluding cecostomy procedure for the prevention of colorectal anastomotic dehiscence]
Abstract
The authors report the results of an original technique of cecostomy performed on 30 patients as an alternative to temporary colostomy. Colorectal anastomotic leakage following surgery represents the main indication to this procedure. This original technique seems to be safer, simpler and more effective than a temporary colostomy.
