title: [Modification of the transverse coloplasy pouch--experience with this feasible technique in different types of low rectum resections].
abstract: The increased number of sphincter-spared patients after low rectal resection requires an up-to-date approach, aiming at better functional results. The authors modify into practice the transverse coloplasy pouch, with a longitudinal seromuscular incision, mucosal liberalization and transverse suture. They describe their experience with this feasible technique in different types of low rectum resections. The conception of the technique is with increased neorectal volume to avoid some unpleasant consequences of this surgery, without changing the oncological effectiveness. The modification with a single-layer suture facilitates the technique, has some advantages and does not worsen the desired effect.
