[Angiotensometry in intra-abdominal resection of the rectum and sigmoid in cancer]

The transilluminative occlusive angiotensometry was used for the determination of viability of the sutured segments of the colon in 93 intraabdominal resection for carcinoma. The use of angiotensometry has reduced the incompetence of anastomosis sutures in intraabdominal resections of the rectum and sigmoid colon from 13.6% to 8.6%.
