Abstract

A review of the Hartmann's operation for patients with rectal and sigmoid cancer over an 18 year period is presented. There were 1063 patients who had a resection for carcinoma of the rectum or sigmoid colon and 4.4% of these had a Hartmann's procedure. This operation was particularly useful in the management of patients who presented with a proximal obstruction or perforation at the tumour site. It was also effective in the elective treatment of elderly unfit patients who had locally advanced tumors or those with distant metastases. Re‐anastomosis is recommended in those patients who are relatively fit and have had a potentially curative resection.
