Hartmann's Rectal Surgery

Hartmann's rectal surgery is a surgical method for patients with rectal cancer whose constitution cannot tolerate radical surgery. The upper section is pulled out of the external stoma, the middle section (where the tumor is located) is removed, and the lower section (below the tumor to the anus) is closed.
