[Advisability of combined operations in proctologic patients]

The analysis of surgical treatment for combined diseases of the anorectal region in 106 patients is presented. The mean duration of the hospital stay after one-stage procedures made up 10.8 days, whereas in proctological patients with a single disease it made up 9 days. The individual approach to the choice of surgical policy and keeping to the order of the stages of the operation are essential in treatment of patients with combined diseases. The results of the study support the use of combined operations in patients with disease of the colon and the anorectal area.
