Abstract
The operation of horizontal and longitudinal colomyotomy for diverticular disease was described, and satisfactory short-term results in 6 patients were presented. The indications and reasons for the use of this procedure were discussed. The operation was seemingly a satisfactory treatment, without the risks associated with division of all the circular muscle fibers, or with resection and anastomosis. The necessity for long-term high dietary fiber intake was stressed.Keywords
