M. Imhof et al., HARTMANN SITUATION ESTABLISHED AND RECONS TRUCTED LAPAROSCOPICALLY INA CASE OF CHRONIC ANORECTAL FISTULA, Zentralblatt fur Chirurgie, 123(4), 1998, pp. 411-414
The Hartmann situation is a temporary intestinal diversion to treat di
seases of the rectosigmoid. In case of benign rectosigmoidal disorders
the entirely laparoscopic performance of the colon disconnection and
reconstruction is an advantage due to its minimal invasive nature. A p
atient suffering from chronic anorectal fistula with temporary relief
exclusively performed by laparoscopic approach is reported.
