| Popis: | 1. 1. The case history of a patient who recovered following spontaneous expulsion per anum of a 36 cm. segment of sequestrated colon following total gastrectomy and resection of a large portion of the transverse mesocolon is presented. 2. 2. Review of similar case reports indicates that in the period prior to the surgical treatment of intussusception such a course of events was not unusual. Such cases as these emphasize the remarkable ability of the intestinal tract to maintain its continuity. 3. 3. The return of bowel from which a portion of mesentery has been resected to the abdomeninal cavity presents, in addition to the obvious risk of impaired viability of the bowel, the hazard of intussusception. 4. 4. Patients undergoing surgery for cancer of the stomach should have a preliminary bowel preparation which will permit resection of adjacent involved intestines if this is required. Bowel freed of mesentery should be immediately resected or exteriorized regardless of its apparent viability. |
