Results of treatment of 145 patients with acute diseases of colon's right half are analyzed. Hartman's operation was performed at all the patients: original Hartman's operation -- at 83 patients, left-sided hemicolectomy like Hartman's operation -- at 42, and combined Hartman's operation -- at 20. Various complications were seen at 51% cases; insufficiency of rectum distal stump and paracolostoma complications were the main of them. Postoperative lethality was 6,9% (10 of 145 operated patients died). All the complications were classified on laparotomic wound, paracolostomic, intraabdominal and extraabdominal complications.
