Abstract:
We present a case of occluded colorectal anastomosis following surgery for rectal tumor. Contrast enema and antegrade ileography confirmed occlusion by a thin membrane. This was thought amenable to needle puncture and placement of a temporary stent under fluoroscopy guidance, avoiding surgery and its associated morbidity. This provides a minimally invasive alternative to surgery and has only been reported once before.
