Traumatic Perforation of the Sigmoid Colon
Journal Title: Türk Kolon ve Rektum Hastalıkları Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 27, Issue 4
Abstract
Although it is a rare condition, traumatic colonic perforation has a significant morbidity and mortality rate. Especially in cases with sexual abuse, the patient may not give detailed information and this may cause delays in diagnosis and treatment. Here, we present a patient with acute abdominal findings who was diagnosed with traumatic colonic perforation intraoperatively. In cases with gastrointestinal perforation, traumatic colonic perforation should be kept in mind and patients must be asked about trauma.
