Post-cesarean colonic ileus
cecal perforation without mechanical obstruction
Keywords:
intestinal occlusion, surgeryAbstract
Two cases of important cecal distension due to colonic ileus following cesarean section are reportea. One of them with diastasic perforation of the cecum; the
other one, with pre-perforative lesions of its wall. The authors analyze the available bibliography on this subject. The diagnostic problems are remarked and particular
emphasis is placed on the fact that only an early laparotomy with a decompressive cecostomy can decrease the high mortality of this condition.
