1.1. Background: The procedure of Deloyer will enhance continuity of the intestine from short stump of transverse colon to the rectum after a bowel resection which removed the sigmoid descending colon and significant parts of the transverse colon. A proper mobilization of the ascending colon while securing the ileocaecal valve on a vascular pedicle will afford this opportunity. The aim of this article is to report our experience with open Deloyers procedure in a patient with adhersions from previous surgery dealing for diverticulitis.
