ABSTRACT
Twenty-two consecutive patients with obstructing left colonic carcinoma underwent resection of the tumour and colocolic anastomosis, without intra-operative colonic lavage. There were two wound infections (9 per cent) but no anastomotic leaks or intra-abdominal abscesses. One death occurred 12 hours following surgery. At postmortem, the cause was attributed to myocardial infarction. The average duration of hospitalization was 8 days. Emergency surgery on the obstructed left colon can be safely carried out without intra-operative colonic lavage (AU)
