title: Reversal of Hartmann's procedure. Our experience.
abstract: Hartmann's procedure has progressively changed its indications in the last years; nowadays they are reduced by the increasing of anesthesiology and the introduction of stapler devices. The introduction of staplers makes reconstructive operation easier and it contributes to a sensible increasing of reversal percentage after Hartmann's procedure. Video-assisted techniques make Hartmann's procedure possible for older patients with high-risk of post-operative general complications. The authors describe the results obtained with traditional and video-assisted reversal Hartmann's procedure, comparing with data from Literature.
