Abstract
A surgical technique is described for a new intracolonic bypass procedure in patients who underwent colonic surgery with an unprepared colon. Resection and primary anastomosis was performed. The intraluminal bypass tube used was a latex condom. No clinical anastomotic leakage was noted. This is a safe, low cost, and uncomplicated procedure that decreases the risk of dehiscence and permits the performance of a high number of primary anastomosis.
