title: [Intraoperative colon irrigation in emergency surgical treatment of lesions of the left colon and rectum].
abstract: The Authors propose the use of intraoperative colon irrigation in emergency surgery of left-sided lesions of the colon. This technique allows the colon to be decompressed and cleaned at the same time with the possibility of performing a resection or hemicolectomy without having to resort to protective colostomy and its related problems of morbidity.
