Abstract:
Some basic technical principles make the left colon surgery as safe as possible. The authors recall the surgical anatomy and the vascularization of the left colon and describe the technic of a left hemicolectomy, of the Hartmann procedure with restoration of the intestinal continuity and the closure of a lateral colostomy. Mastering these technics should help to face and resolve any urgent or regular pathological pattern of the left colon.
