When a sigmoidectomy is followed by terminal colostomy and closure of the rectal stump, it is called a Hartmann operation; this is usually done out of impossibility to perform a “double-barrel” or Mikulicz colostomy, which is preferred because it makes “takedown” (reoperation to restore normal intestinal continuity by means of an anastomosis) considerably easier.

Oh, hell. Say it ain’t so.
No, that happened 7 years ago. He made a strip about it.
Hey, they’re a doddle! Alan Alda did dozens of anastomosiseseses on M*A*S*H*. So when are you going to dro[ your guts? (Bonus points for those who know what that means in NZ!)
