Abstract A simple technique for intraoperative cleansing of the impacted colon is described. Saline-irrigation through the torn balloon of the endotracheal tube (38 French) and massaging the impacted feces facilitated drainage of the obstructed colon. This technique was done in two emergent colon operations and immediate anastomosis could be performed safely. An endotracheal tube is always available in an operating room, so this technique is useful and effective in an emergent colon operation without special preparation.
