Based on a survey of 47 cases of left colonic occlusive cancer operated on at the Emergency Surgery Department-University of Rome "La Sapienza", the authors concluded that in such condition, when the patient is not seriously ill, the Hartmann procedure is a valid alternative to the anastomosis-resection because: a) it solves intestinal obstruction in a short time with consequent improvement of general conditions; b) it allows to perform the second oncologically radical operation early with less risk of neoplastic spread. The latter procedure, therefore, is carried out under better conditions, relative to the stage of the disease and the status of the patient.

Abstract
Based on a survey of 47 cases of left colonic occlusive cancer operated on at the Emergency Surgery Department-University of Rome "La Sapienza", the authors concluded that in such condition, when the patient is not seriously ill, the Hartmann procedure is a valid alternative to the anastomosis-resection because: a) it solves intestinal obstruction in a short time with consequent improvement of general conditions; b) it allows to perform the second oncologically radical operation early with less risk of neoplastic spread. The latter procedure, therefore, is carried out under better conditions, relative to the stage of the disease and the status of the patient.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
