- Abstract
Primary anastomosis with or without proximal diversion is increasingly applied to patients requiring urgent colectomy for complicated disease of the left colon. As such, the Hartmann procedure is now often restricted to patients who are unstable or otherwise poor candidates for primary anastomosis. We sought to define the complication rate of Hartmann takedown in a contemporary setting.
