Emergency right hemicolectomy successfully treated massive bleeding from amebic ulcers in the cecum. This surgical approach is effective even with accompanying amebic liver abscess complications.

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Infectious Diseases
Surgical Oncology

Background:

Amebic ulcers in the cecum can cause severe gastrointestinal bleeding.
Complications may include amebic liver abscess, increasing patient risk.

Observation:

Three patients presented with massive hemorrhage due to confirmed amebic cecal ulcers.
One patient also had a concurrent amebic liver abscess.

Findings:

All three patients underwent emergency right hemicolectomy.
The surgical intervention resulted in successful hemostasis and patient recovery.

Implications:

Emergency right hemicolectomy is a viable and effective treatment for massive bleeding from amebic cecal ulcers.
