Acute rectal obstruction after PPH stapled haemorrhoidectomy
1Department of Surgery, Albano Laziale Hospital, Rome, Italy Coloproctology Unit, Villa Claudia and Villa Flaminia Hospital, Rome, Italy.
Abstract:
An unusual case of acute intestinal obstruction following a PPH stapled haemorrhoidectomy is reported: the complication was due to an almost complete interruption of the rectal lumen tightened by a purse-string suture anchored by staples. The stricture was dilated and the suture released thus restoring intestinal continuity. Surgeons should be aware that such troublesome complication may occur and can be treated successfully by a transanal approach.
