Abstract
LEYVA MOREIRA, Rolando and JIMENEZ CARRAZANA, Agustín. Sutura primaria con fijación extraperitoneal subaponeurótica en las heridas de colon. Rev Cub Med Mil [online]. 2000, vol.29, n.2, pp. 145-147. ISSN 1561-3046.
Among the options that a surgeon may opt for to manage a colon injure, there is primary suture which has undeniable physical, psychical and economic advantages but also the risk of developing serious complications from dehiscence. The method described in this paper, with no death in 8 cases, proved that subaponeurotic extraperitoneal fixation is a useful and harmless alternative in selected cases.
Keywords : SUTURE TECHNIQUES [methods]; COLON [injuries].
