[Restorative surgery of a Hartmann status for relief of chronic sphincter problems].

The Hartmann situation is a temporary intestinal diversion to treat diseases of the rectosigmoid. In case of benign rectosigmoidal disorders the entirely laparoscopic performance of the colon disconnection and reconstruction is an advantage due to its minimal invasive nature. A patient suffering from chronic anorectal fistula with temporary relief exclusively performed by laparoscopic approach is reported.
