The retro-ileal pull-through technique for colorectal and coloanal anastomosis

ConclusionsIn our cohort of patients, a retro-ileal pull-through technique was shown to be a successful approach to achieve a tension-free colorectal or coloanal anastomosis in various scenarios. This technique may prevent performing an ileorectal anastomosis or a permanent colostomy. We believe that this approach should be popularized among colorectal surgeons dealing with complicated colorectal operations.
