Modified Hartmann procedure in emergency sigmoid colectomy.

K B Nakhgevany

    American Journal of Surgery
    |September 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    A modified Hartmann procedure uses sutures to secure the rectal stump, preventing pelvic contraction and simplifying reanastomosis. This technique offers advantages for emergency sigmoid colectomy compared to traditional methods.

    Area of Science:

    • Colorectal Surgery
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Pelvic Anatomy

    Background:

    • The conventional Hartmann procedure can lead to rectal stump retraction.
    • Retraction complicates subsequent reanastomosis, particularly in emergency settings.
    • A three-stage procedure is often employed for emergency sigmoid colectomy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a modification to the Hartmann procedure.
    • To prevent rectal stump contraction and facilitate reanastomosis.
    • To highlight benefits in emergency sigmoid colectomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Suturing the rectal stump to the presacral fascia with black silk sutures.
    • Performing this during the initial resection and closure.
    • Comparing the modified approach to the conventional three-stage procedure for emergency sigmoid colectomy.

    Main Results:

    • The modified technique prevents rectal stump contraction deep in the pelvis.
    • Reanastomosis of the proximal colon to the rectal stump is simplified.
    • The modified procedure demonstrates advantages in emergency sigmoid colectomy.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified Hartmann procedure offers a simpler and more effective approach to rectal stump management.
    • This technique improves outcomes for patients undergoing emergency sigmoid colectomy.
    • Suturing the rectal stump to the presacral fascia is a valuable surgical modification.
