Rectal perforation during barium enema

Abstract: Perforation of the colon or rectum during the course of barium-enema examination is estimated to occur in approximately 500 patients annually in the United States. It has been over 30 years since the last collective review on this subject reported a prohibitively high mortality and morbidity. Since that time, much has been learned about the treatment of patients with peritonitis and bowel perforation, many new and more effective antibiotics have become available, and the management of shock has become infinite… Show more

“…O segundo grupo corresponde aos pacientes portadores de retocolite ulcerativa, doença de Crohn, diverticulite aguda, colite isquêmica ou infecciosa, neoplasia colorretal obstrutiva, estenose colorretal, fecaloma, antecedente de radioterapia pélvica, parasitose intestinal, biópsia ou polipectomia recente, idade avançada, corticoterapia, colostomia, fístula anorretal e fissura anal, os quais são fatores de risco que tornam estes pacientes mais susceptíveis à perfuração retal durante o enema opaco. (2,4,5,7,8,(10)(11)(12)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21) Em 1939, Ault GW classificou as perfurações retais por enema opaco em cinco tipos: 1) perfuração do canal anal abaixo dos músculos elevadores do ânus; 2) perfuração incompleta; 3) perfuração para o retroperitôneo; 4) perfuração transmural para víscera adjacente; 5) perfuração livre para a cavidade peritoneal. (22) Nosso paciente apresentou perfuração retal incompleta (segundo tipo) com infiltração anorretal.…”

“…A escolha da técnica e tática operatória dependerá da condição clínica do paciente, das condições locais no intra-operatório e da experiência do cirurgião. (2,(4)(5)(6)(10)(11)(12)(13)(19)(20)(21) Nos pacientes com sepse, o tratamento agressivo do choque séptico com reposição de fluidos e drogas vasoativas será tão importante quanto a cirurgia precoce. As perfurações abaixo dos músculos elevadores do ânus com grandes lacerações de mucosa ou lesões esfincterianas, quando diagnosticadas precocemente, podem ser submetidas a reparo primário.…”

“…Since the report of a 51% mortality rate by Zheutlin et al in 1952, 1 subsequent published reports, for almost three decades, have quoted this figure as the expected mortality. [2][3][4] Recently, however, several authors have reported a zero mortality rate. [3][4][5][6][7] In the present retrospective report, four cases of barium enema-related colorectal perforation with a mean age of 80 years are described; and three of the patients died where R ϭ risk of mortality.…”
