[Reconstructive and restorative surgeries of the large intestine]

Reconstructive-restorative operations in 164 cases of colostomy are analysed. The colostomy was formed for injury to the large intestine in 45.7%, oncoproctological diseases in 35%, complications of diverticulum in 10%, and for other diseases (volvulus of the sigmoid colon, unspecific ulcerous colitis, etc.) in 9.3% of patients. The terms of the operations were chosen individually: from 2.5-4 months after injury to 10-14 months after an oncological operation. The extraperitoneal method was applied in 93 and the intraperitoneal method in 71 operations. Mortality was 2.9%.
