[Methods of coloplasty following rectal and sigmoid resection using Gartmann's technic]

According to the authors' data, a repeated surgical intervention, aimed at the restoration of normal passage of the intestinal contents, is possible after the Gartmann's operation. 10 to 12 months should be considered as an optimal interval between the first and second operations. The authors believe that coloplasty associated with end-to-end anastomosis (when the rectal stump is long enough) - a modification of Soavé and Duhamel coloplasty (in case of a short rectal stump) - is a method of choice. The results of Bondar's operation are not so good.
