    Hartmann's procedure (HP) is performed to manage conditions like bowel obstruction and diverticulitis, leaving a colostomy and sealed rectal remnant.

    Postoperative complications after HP occur in 40.6–53.3% of patients, with pelvic abscesses being a significant concern due to rectal blowout.

    The study aimed to evaluate the incidence of rectal blowout within 90 days post-HP and identify associated risk factors through multivariate analysis.

    Potential risk factors for pelvic abscesses after HP include male sex, low rectal transection, and preoperative radiotherapy.

    This retrospective cohort study was conducted at Aarhus University Hospital, including all patients who underwent HP from September 2016 to August 2021.
