title: The Bacon pull-through procedure.
abstract: Twenty-eight patients who underwent the Bacon pull-through procedure for carcinoma of the midrectum were reviewed retrospectively. The results were comparable to low anterior resection and abdominoperineal resection. Although the indications are limited, it is a viable option in a highly selected group of patients.
