Abstract

ZULOAGA, J. et al. Late ischemic stricture following anterior rectal resection. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2008, vol.100, n.1, pp.49-52. ISSN 1130-0108.

A considerable incidence of colonic strictures after oncologic low anterior resections has been reported. The present paper describes a colonic stricture 5 years after the surgery, and not related to radiotherapy, that required a challenging differential diagnosis with local recurrence of rectal cancer. The role of endoscopy in the management of this condition is discussed.

Keywords : Colonic stricture; Rectosigmoidectomy; Colorectal cancer; Mesenteric ischemia; Steroids.
