Abstract
1. 1. The complications arising from 226 cases of resection of the colon for various types of lesions have been reviewed. Only non-obstructive cases of primary anastomosis distal to the ascending colon are considered. 2. 2. The incidence and severity of complications attributable to leakage from the suture line or perforation of the large bowel were lower in the group of sixty-seven patients treated with complementary cecostomy. In contrast to the group in which no proximal stoma was established, conditions of anastomosis were such in most of the cases in which complementary cecostomy was performed that complications were to be expected. The difference between the two groups, therefore, appears to be significant. 3. 3. Complementary cecostomy is still a useful procedure and should be considered when ideal conditions for bowel anastomosis are not present.
