[Right-sided hemicolectomy using a compression suture]

Results of rightsided hemicolectomy performed in 23 patients using the compression suture with the help of apparatus AKA-2 and apparatus NZhKA-60 supplied with silicon paddings are described. The use of compression sutures have considerably shortened the time of formation of anastomosis and large intestine stump and allowed to standardize the technical methods of the operation. The ideal union of the sutured intestinal walls, antiseptic condition of the operation, high hermetic property facilitated the healing of anastomoses and the stump by first intention. The proposed method gives better functional results due to advantages of the compression method of joining the tissues.
