Various techniques have been used in the surgical treatment of Chagasic megacolon, including sympathectomy, sphincterotomy, anterior abdominal resection with high or low anastomosis, pull-through procedures, and Duhamel technique. However, results have not been consistently satisfactory, with reportedly high morbidity and mortality rates. The purpose of this study was to assess the technique and results of anterior rectosigmoidectomy with immediate posterior colorectal end-to-side stapled anastomosis for the treatment of Chagasic megacolon.
