    Area of Science:

    • Colorectal surgery
    • Trauma surgery
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Rectosigmoid injuries can occur in various patient populations.
    • Early recognition and management are crucial for favorable outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present five cases of rectosigmoid injury in homosexual males.
    • To highlight the importance of early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series presentation.
    • Detailed patient history and physical examination.
    • Diagnostic imaging including roentgenography.
    • Surgical intervention.

    Main Results:

    • Five cases of rectosigmoid injury were identified in homosexual males.
    • Early diagnosis was achieved through a high index of suspicion, thorough history, physical exam, and roentgenography.
    • Prompt surgical intervention was performed in all cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Rectosigmoid injuries in this population can be effectively managed with early diagnosis.
    • A proactive diagnostic approach is key to minimizing patient morbidity.
