| description | Recurrent colonic perforation in patients already having colostomy is extremely
rare and only a few cases had been reported. Herein, we report 2 cases of
recurrent colonic perforation at the proximal part of the colostomy in geriatric
patients resulting from different causes, which might be caused by stercoral
perforation and recurrent colonic ischemia, respectively. Based on our
experience, surgeons should consider correcting chronic constipation even in
patients who already have a colostomy. Additionally, transverse colostomy should
be considered as a surgical treatment in patients with sigmoid colostomy for
recurrent perforation due to colonic ischemia. |
