[Subtotal colectomy with ceco-rectal anastomosis].

A case of subtotal colectomy cecoproctostomy for multiple lesions of the colon is introduced. This procedure has advantages over ileoproctostomy because it spares the terminal ileum, ileocecal junction and cecum. Due to the high incidence of bowel movements after the ileoproctostomy operation, the authors recommend cecoproctostomy as a valid choice in a selectioned group of patients with multiple or extended lesions that spares cecum and rectum.
