title: [Hartmann's procedure in the treatment of acute obstructive left-sided colonic cancer].
abstract: This retrospective study included all patients over a five-year period who underwent the Hartmann's procedure because of a malignant left-sided large bowel obstruction. Twenty-nine patients were treated with this procedure. The cumulative operative mortality was 14%, and the five-year survival was 31%. Intestinal continuity was restored in seven patients (24%). There were no anastomotic leakages. The treatment resulted in a permanent colostomy in 62% of the patients. The Hartmann's procedure can be employed as a treatment of malignant left-sided large bowel obstruction, but will cause a high frequency of permanent colostomy.
