Abstract:
The patient's positioning is of paramount importance in case of rectal surgery. It must allow any type of operation, planned or not (amputation, anterior resection, pulltrough) while providing good facilities for the two stages - abdominal and perineal - particularly in case of a two teams procedure. The ringed frame meets those requirements: it includes an oblique semi-circled frame, with hooks, and can be adjusted to the operating table through two steel stands. First used for the surgery of cancer of the rectum (894 cases operated), the position described has been adopted as well for low mechanical anastomosis in cases of colonic procedures, colpohystere it includes an oblique semi-circled frame, with hooks, and can be adjusted to the operating table through two steel stends. First used for the surgery of cancer of the rectum (894 cases operated), the position described has been adopted as well for low mechanical anastomosis in cases of colonic procedures, colpohystere it includes an oblique semi-circled frame, with hooks, and can be adjusted to the operating table through two steel stends. First used for the surgery of cancer of the rectum (894 cases operated), the position described has been adopted as well for low mechanical anastomosis in cases of colonic procedures, colpohysterectomies and total cystectomies.
