title: [Principles in stenosing surgical disease: multiple-staged surgery (author's transl)].
abstract: Colonic surgery today is usually performed in a one-stage procedure. Multiple resection is indicated only for bowel obstruction or severe inflammation. There is some discussion about the necessity of colostomy in left colon resection, mainly in cases of anterior resection. We strongly suggest a double loop transverse colostomy, since anastomotic leaks are frequent even with subtile techniques, and increasingly old high-risk patients have to be operated upon. Also, the fact that younger residents operate is no justification for forsaking this safety measure. According to the literature, most surgeons feel this way.
