[Treatment of dolichosigmoid and dolichocolon]

The authors observed 591 patients with stretching of various portions of the colon. The patients were treated conservatively and surgically. 191 patients were operated upon: 21 palliative operations and 170 resections of the colon were carried out. The resections were performed by intraabdominal and abdomino-perineal methods. In authors' opinion the intraabdominal resection of the colon is the best method of the treatment of the disease.
