title: [Discontinuity resection of the colon. Indications and results].
abstract: In 83 patients discontinuity resection of the colon was performed. Due to negative selection factors postoperative mortality was 26.5%. In 37 patients continuity of the colon was restored, no patient died postoperatively. The only severe complication was formation of a colovesical fistula requiring a pull-through operation.
