Abstract:
The paper reports personal observations relating to 111 cases of colonic perforation. Etiopathogenesis and different surgical approaches are discussed and results are compared. Hartmann's operation is identified as the best solution in cases of colonic perforation with diffuse peritonitis. In cases of localized peritonitis, excellent results may be obtained by operating immediately.
