Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Although acute pseudoobstruction of the colon is a rare entity, a large percentage of the reported cases have occurred following obstetric and gynecologic surgical procedures. Early recognition is mandatory to avoid severe and potentially fatal complications and can allow successful decompression by means of colonoscopy, thus avoiding surgical intervention, as in the case reported on here. |
