The procedure is technically demanding, requiring mobilization of the right colon and counterclockwise rotation by 180° to achieve a tension-free colorectal or coloanal anastomosis. The Deloyers procedure maintains the bowel’s absorptive capacity and leads to superior functional results, such as improved stool consistency. This narrative review aims to popularize the Deloyers procedure among the surgical fraternity by examining its historical background, clinical indications, surgical technique, potential complications, and functional outcomes.EnglishDeloyers procedure, extended left hemicolectomy, anastomosis, colonic derotation, colon transposition, colectomyhttps://www.yemenjmed.com/admin/abstract?id=342References1619
