[Surgical policy in reconstructive surgery on the colon].

ABSTRACT

Thirty-year experience with 1685 reconstructive operations on the colon is analyzed. Novel surgical policy has increased the rate of primary-reconstructive operations for the last 5 years from 78.8 to 87.9%, decreased the number of postoperative complications from 33 to 21.8%, intestinal anastomosis-dependent complications -- from 22.6 to 8.4%, postoperative lethality -- from 6.9 to 2.4%, raised the rate of good functional results from 64 to 88.2%.
