Results of closure of loop transverse colostomies
Abstract:
The postoperative course of 139 patients who underwent closure of a loop transverse colostomy at St. Mark's Hospital between 1961 and 1970 after distal resection and anastomosis of the large intestine for neoplastic or diverticular disease has been reviewed in detail.
