RESUMO
Subtotal and extended left colectomies with ileocecal junction preservation represent preferable alternatives in cases of massive involvement of the colon in the pathological process. However, these approaches might be challenging in terms of reconstructive steps. Antiperistaltic cecorectal anastomosis is one of the possible techniques. Still, this type of pouch formation is described mostly in slow-transit constipation surgical management. We report on a patient with synchronous colorectal cancer who underwent extended left colectomy. In the case of compromised vessel anatomy, it was decided to perform antiperistaltic cecorectal anastomosis. We present all clinical and intraoperative patient's data, determining the surgical tactics, and short-term postoperative results. An antiperistaltic cecorectal anastomosis can be considered in nonstandard clinical cases and variable anatomy of the patient.
