On the basis of two fatal cases of perforation of the caecum secondary to dilatation of the colon without obstruction, the authors discuss the measures which should be instituted in the presence of this condition. These consist, preventively, of decompression of the colon by caecostomy if the diameter of the caecum reaches 10 cm and, curatively, a right hemi-colectomy, not associated with immediate re-establishment of the continuity of the digestive tract.
基于两例因结肠扩张继发盲肠穿孔且无梗阻的致命病例，作者讨论了针对这种情况应采取的措施。预防性措施包括：如果盲肠直径达到10厘米，通过盲肠造口术对结肠进行减压；治疗性措施是行右半结肠切除术，且不立即恢复消化道的连续性。
