Percutaneous decompression of the colon using CT guidance in Ogilvie syndrome

Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction

“…The procedure has most commonly been used for patients unresponsive to maximal pharmacological and endoscopic therapy, and also considered unfit for surgery. Of four available studies, two are case reports88, 89; the two series contain only two90 and five91 patients. The latter reported few complications and achieved full resolution of colonic dilatation in all patients91.…”

Transcecostomal colonic stent placement after US-guided percutaneous cecostomy

“…5,6 The technique is conducted under fluoroscopic or CT guidance. [7][8][9][10] To the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports of percutaneous cecostomy using US guidance. US facilitated puncture with a Seldinger needle as well as passage of a T-fastener needle into the cecum, which was used for the prevention of peritonitis.…”

Percutaneous Cecostomy

“…The main reason for undertaking percutaneous cecostomy is for colonic pseudoobstruction or Ogilvie's syndrome. [16][17][18][19] Colonoscopic decompression has been used extensively in pseudoobstruction and is successful in up to 69% of cases. 20 This involves passing a colonoscope to the cecum and decompressing the right colon.…”
