[Combined operations in diseases of the large intestine]

An analysis of 153 associated operations for diseases of the large bowel was made. Operations on the abdominal cavity were fulfilled in 25.5% of the patients, the other patients were subjected to perineal interventions. The authors consider that special attention should be given to the preoperative management, detection of concomitant diseases for more exact indications for associated surgical procedures, the latter being shown not to enlarge the amount of complications and the period of staying at the hospital.
