The transilluminative occlusive angiotensometry was used for the determination of viability of the sutured segments of the colon in 93 intraabdominal resection for carcinoma. The use of angiotensometry has reduced the incompetence of anastomosis sutures in intraabdominal resections of the rectum and sigmoid colon from 13.6% to 8.6%.

[Angiotensometry in peritoneo-anal resection of the rectum in cancer]. / Angiotenzometriia pri briushno-anal'noi rezektsii priamoi kishki po povodu raka.

Angiotensometry was used in 66 patients for assessing the viability of a large bowel transplant in the course of peritoneoanal resection of the rectum for cancer. The procedure assured reliable evaluation of intramural blood circulation in the segment of the colon transposed downwards. As a result, necrosis development in the colon was reduced to 10.4%.
