During the past three years, six patients with massive nonobstructive cecal dilation were treated by the surgical endoscopy service at the University of Michigan Medical Center. Case reports are presented on the five patients for whom decompression of the colon distention using the flexible fiberoptic colonoscope was successful. The sixth patient for whom nonoperative decompression was unsuccessful died following tube cecostomy. Colonoscopy, in our hands, has been a safe and effective method of nonoperatively decompressing the dilated cecum in seriously ill patients with a variety of severe associated conditions.
在过去三年中，密歇根大学医学中心的外科内镜服务部门治疗了6例盲肠大面积非梗阻性扩张患者。本文报告了5例使用纤维结肠镜成功解除结肠扩张的病例。第6例非手术减压未成功的患者在进行盲肠造瘘术后死亡。在我们手中，结肠镜检查一直是一种安全有效的方法，可用于对患有各种严重相关疾病的重症患者进行非手术性盲肠减压。
