title: [Late results of operations for megadolichosigmoid in the "cold" period of the disease].
abstract: During the last 30 years the author has been performing comprehensive clinical observations of numerous patients with megadolichosigmoids. Among them 180 patients were operated for extreme pathological forms of megadolichosigmoids without a single lethal outcome. The analysis of remote results of the treatment of 173 patients is presented. The period of observation was from 3 to 25 years. The author believes that the operative method of choice in megadolichosigmoids is a one-step subtotal mesosigmoresection. It saves the patients from chronic ileus and is a reliable prophylaxis of acute volvulus of the sigmoid.
