MASSIVE INTESINAL HAEMORRHAGE SURGICAL TREATMENT FOR BLEEDING DUE TO ISCHEMIC COLITIS
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Ischemic colitis presenting with massive exsanguinating lower gastro- intestinal hemorrhage in five patients aged between thirty to forty years is described. After conservative measures failed to arrest the hemorrhage, the patients underwent laparotomy and colectomy. Intra operative colotomy was used to locate the diseased bleeding colonic segment. All the patients made uneventful post-operative recovery. Because of this unusual manner of presentation, new category of ischemic colitis-Exsanguinating ischemic colitis of young adults is proposed.
