摘要
BACKGROUND The Hartmann procedure is currently recognized as a common,safe,and feasible surgical procedure.However,its reversal rate is low,and the optimal timing for Hartmann reversal surgery is controversial.CASE SUMMARY A 65-year-old man came to our hospital with a complaint of an intestinal fistula next to the stoma.The patient had undergone a Hartmann procedure 13 years prior.We performed colonoscopy,computed tomography,and other diagnostics before successfully reversing the stoma.CONCLUSION Although the optimal time for Hartmann procedure reversal is controversial,time may ultimately not be a factor in the success of reversal.
