A temporary protective loop ileostomy is a routine procedure to protect the anastomosis in patients who undergo low anterior resection for rectal cancer. The aim of this case report is to present a rare complication caused by Meckel's diverticulum.
We describe a case of a 71-year-old white man with dysfunctional ileostomy after low anterior resection for rectal cancer due to adhesions and pressing effects of Meckel's diverticulum near the ileostomy site, which led to volvulus of his small intestine and obstruction. As a result he underwent a supplementary operation to resolve this complication by Meckel's diverticulum resection.
During a low anterior resection for rectal cancer and a protective ileostomy procedure the presence of Meckel's diverticulum should not be ignored. Our proposal is the primary resection of Meckel's diverticulum as the best surgical choice; according to the limited international literature on such cases we report a possible alternative to a protective ileostomy by creating a conduit using Meckel's diverticulum as a stoma.
临时性保护性回肠造口术是直肠癌低位前切除术患者保护吻合口的常规操作。本病例报告旨在呈现由梅克尔憩室引起的罕见并发症。
我们描述了一例71岁白人男性患者,其因直肠癌低位前切除术后回肠造口功能障碍,这是由于靠近回肠造口部位的梅克尔憩室的粘连和压迫作用,导致小肠扭转和梗阻。结果,他接受了补充手术,通过切除梅克尔憩室来解决这一并发症。
在直肠癌低位前切除术和保护性回肠造口术过程中,梅克尔憩室的存在不应被忽视。我们的建议是将梅克尔憩室的一期切除作为最佳手术选择;根据关于此类病例的有限国际文献,我们报告了一种可能的替代保护性回肠造口术的方法,即利用梅克尔憩室作为造口创建一个通道。
