[Radiogenic damage of the intestine--diagnosis and therapy]. 1986

62 patients underwent surgery for intestinal radiation injuries during the past 15 years. 34 patients had previous abdominal surgery. Preoperative investigations must clarify if there is only the radiation lesion or a recurrent process of the originally radiated tumor. Rectovaginal fistulas occurred 28 times, 19 of which could only be treated by continent colostomy. 5 patients had been curatively resected with low anastomosis. A progressive stenosis leading to an ileus symptomatology appeared in 24 patients. The injured intestinal part was resected. As intestinal radiation injuries are combined with an ischemic enteropathy, anastomosis will be extremely problematic. Thus, second-look operations are recommendable for the third and seventh postoperative day. So lethality could be decreased.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007412 Intestinal Fistula An abnormal anatomical passage between the INTESTINE, and another segment of the intestine or other organs. External intestinal fistula is connected to the SKIN (enterocutaneous fistula). Internal intestinal fistula can be connected to a number of organs, such as STOMACH (gastrocolic fistula), the BILIARY TRACT (cholecystoduodenal fistula), or the URINARY BLADDER of the URINARY TRACT (colovesical fistula). Risk factors include inflammatory processes, cancer, radiation treatment, and surgical misadventures (MEDICAL ERRORS).
