title: [The possibilities for the primary recovery of intestinal continuity in complicated cancer of the left half of the colon].
abstract: In 80 patients with complicated clinical course of carcinoma of the left half of the colon the primary restoration of the intestinal continuity was fulfilled (in 47 patients left-side hemicolectomy, in 15 patients subtotal colectomy, in 15 patients-Hartman operations). Postoperative complications were observed in 18 patients (22.5%), 7 patients died (8.8%). Functional long-term results were favorable in most patients. The clinical experience obtained suggests that primary restoration of the intestinal continuity deserves special attention in a number of cases.
