“…7,8 Their use in left-sided colon carcinoma using a surgical approach is noted in the literature dating back to 1965. 9,10 Current usage in adults with cancer appears to be limited to decompression of the colon in patients presenting with early stage, obstructing, left-sided colorectal primary tumors prior to definitive surgery. [11][12][13] Cecostomy is also useful for delivering enemas to treat constipation and improve continence in spinal cord injury patients, and in patients with Ogilvie's syndrome.…”

Bowel obstruction is a common complication of metastatic gastrointestinal and ovarian cancers, and can cause distressing symptoms. Along with medical options, surgical options should be considered in all patients with bowel obstruction, including percutaneous gastrostomy. We report the case of a patient with metastatic colon cancer with an obstructing recurrence at the primary site who was not eligible for major surgery or percutaneous gastrostomy and was managed with a percutaneous cecostomy for symptom control.

“…Tube caecostomy has failed in up to 50 per cent of cases and has been condemned by many (Gregg and Dixon, 1941 ;Hendricks and Griffin, 1947;Michel and McCafferty, 1948;Albers and Smith, 1952;Hunt, 1954;Rack and Clement, 1954;Maynard and Turell, 1955). Moreover, inadequate function of the tube can be fatal (Jackson and Baird, 1967;Hopkins, 1969;Balslev et al, 1970;Norton et al, 1974). Although many reports have been unfavourable, Wanebo et al (1971) reported good results in 4 patients.…”

Caecal rupture due to colonic ileus is rare and has a mortality rate of 43 per cent. Three new cases are presented and the 18 previously reported cases are reviewed. The disease has always occurred in association with another illness, has usually afflicted patients over the age of 55 and has only resulted when the caecum was at least 9 cm in diameter. The technique of 'blow-hole' caecostomy, a method for decompressing the distended caecum, is described.
