Colonic infarction after colostomy creation

Discussion:

On the second surgery, gangrene of a 15 cm long segment of the colon up to colostomy site was found. During resection of the rectum and sigmoid, the corresponding vascular pedicle was ligated, and the corresponding length of the colon should be resected. In this case, the colectomy did not include a segment with impaired blood supply, which progressed to transmural necrosis in few next days.
