[Compression anastomoses of the large intestine under complicated conditions].

Results of the application of apparatus AKA-2 for the formation of compressive anastomoses under complicated conditions are discussed. Among them are: acute and chronic ileus, peritonitis, diabetes mellitus etc. Common negative factors for all the patients were symptoms of secondary immune deficiency and specific endogenous intoxication resulting from chronic internal irradiation by radionuclides (consequences of the disaster in Chernobyl atomic power station in 1986).

[The surgical procedure in trauma to the large intestine].

An experience with treatment of 69 patients with trauma of the colon allowed the authors to recommend differential tactics of operative treatment which improves its results. Treatment of such patients in specialized department should be preferred.

[Diagnostic possibilities of roentgeno-endoscopic and morphologic methods of examining the colon in nonspecific colitis].

The paper is concerned with comparative assessment of the diagnostic potentialities of the x-ray, endoscopic and pathomorphological methods of investigation. The results of the examination of 100 patients operated upon for nonspecific ulcerative colitis (54) and Crohn's disease (46) were analyzed. The advantages of these methods were demonstrated.

[Surgical treatment of rectal prolapse].

The experience with surgical treatment of rectal prolapse in 82 patients is presented. In stage I-II prolapse, the interventions on the external anal sphincter and prolapsing rectum are the operations of choice, and in stage III-IV-intraabdominal fixation of the rectum by the lavsan strip to the anterior longitudinal ligament of the vertebral column, the free ends of which are sutured to the lateral surfaces of the rectum. The incidence of recurrences of the disease was 2.

[Surgical treatment of diffuse polyposis of the large intestine].

A technique of the operation developed by the authors for patients with diffuse polyposis of the colon is described. A new method of total colectomy is proposed including removal of the rectum mucosa and the endorectal loop ileoanal anastomosis and simultaneous creation of the small intestine reservoir (operations on 2 patients) and a new method of creation of the small intestine reservoir (operations on 7 patients). Good functional results were obtained.
