Abstract:
A description is given of the advantages of the Duhamel technique over that carried out by colorectal anastomosis at the level of the pelvis. The anastomosis is performed at the level of the perineum. Ten patients with cancer of the colon were operated and it was determined that there was no tumoral relapse of the residual ampulla. There were no complications and this technique can be used as a substitute for Hartmann's.
