FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: surgical management of colon cancer is required in low colonic obstruction. A midline laparotomy and abdominal organs inspection is followed by colon mobilisation. A colonic segment with a tumour is resected. The segmented intestine is decompressed with an electric suction machine. The rectal stump is stitched with a stapling apparatus. A superposed segment of the segmented intestine is mobilised to be brought down. A tunnel is formed behind the rectal stump from the side of the anus as close as possible to the oral end of the stump. A hole is formed along the posterior wall with an electric knife and used to bring down the mobilised segmented intestine by means of a guide. The intestine is fixed to the hole borders with four stitches. The excessive intestine is brought out through the anus and fixed to the perineal skin. A dioxidine solution is administered into the abdominal cavity. The rectal stump is daily washed with antiseptic solutions until the excessive brought out intestine is dissected away on the 10-14th day.

EFFECT: method enables applying the primary stitch-free colorectal anastomosis, requires no rehabilitation stage of treating colon cancer by the natural formation of the anastomosis and prevention of its leakage; it also reduces the length of disability and improves the patient's quality of life.
