Monti–Malone procedure. a A 4-cm section of colon was secured while preserving the feeding blood vessels. b–d A two-thirds cut was made in the center of the free intestinal tract. Each left and right intestine was incised longitudinally and widened in a reed-shaped manner. e A 12-cm intestinal tube was created by suturing longitudinally. f The intestinal tube and colon were subjected to end-to-side anastomosis. We used Witzel’s method for coverage of the intestinal tube. The length of that coverage was 6 cm
