A prospective longitudinal interventionist study began in October 2003 in Royal Victoria Teaching Hospital, Gambia and was concluded at "Amalia Simoni" Hospital of Camagüey in September 2007. Data were extracted of the clinical records from the patients at the moment of their hospital discharge. It were processed in IBM microcomputer. Inclusion, exclusion criteria that allowed evaluating the effectiveness of the treatment were established. Systemic prophylactic preoperative antibiotic-therapy was used. Results: the paralytic ileus prevailed as complication. Relative complications didn't exist to the primary anastomosis. No patients were reintervened neither mortality existed.
