One-stage colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis for complete left-sided obstruction of the colon.
Fourteen patients with complete left-sided obstruction of the colon were treated by a one-stage emergency colectomy and primary ileorectal anastomosis. One patient died from anastomotic leakage. In selected patients the method should be considered as an alternative to the staged procedure.
