Abstract

At the end of exenterative procedures, the problem of bowel placement in the pelvic cavity denuded of peritoneum is still one of the most taxing and potentially troublesome problems of radical pelvic surgery. A technic which utilizes pelvic peritoneum to form a complete peritoneal diaphragm between the abdominal and pelvic cavities is described. Experience with this technic is with a small personal series of 15 patients which is presented.
