Combined Abdominal and Perineal Approach for Delayed Restoration of Bowel Continuity after Low Anterior Resection in Females

  • Technical Note
  • Published:
Diseases of the Colon & Rectum

Restoration of bowel continuity after Hartmann’s operation is the surgeon’s goal and the patient’s hope. This operation is technically demanding with reportedly high morbidity and mortality. A short distal rectal stump often makes the operation more difficult. In this article, we describe a combined abdominal and perineal approach, which can possibly make delayed restoration of bowel continuity after low anterior rectal resection an easier procedure.
