[The Hartmann procedure in colorectal emergencies. Report of 76 cases].
The Hartmann procedure has, in emergency colo-rectal surgery, many implications. The decision is based on clinical, radiological, instrumental and pathological findings. The authors report the results of 76 Hartmann's procedures performed between 1986 and 1995 and compare their results with those found in the current medical literature on the topic. In particular, they draw attention to an increased use of this procedures in colo-rectal emergencies; the morbility and mortality rates confirm the severity of the clinical cases that can be treated with this operation. To improve results the authors propose a therapeutic plan that uses a score for stratification of the risk (MPI, APA-CHE II, SSI, Hinchey); so the surgeon can choose the best surgical operation. Finally, the authors underline the importance of the principles of oncology surgery in colo-rectal cancer.
