[Caecal-rectal antiperistaltic anastomosis without torsion of the vascular pedicle]

Caecorectal anastomosis by Deloyers' procedure has the disadvantage of creating torsion of the vascular pedicle. The technique reported here is a simple mechanical anti-peristaltic anastomosis without inversion of the caecum. This technique was performed successfully in 26 patients after subtotal colectomy for multiple colonic carcinomas or severe constipation.
