[Endoscopic resolution of acute dilatation of the colon secondary to edema of colonic anastomosis].
Acute colonic dilation due to anastomotic edema is rare and is not always solved with conservative treatment. Endoscopic colonic decompression was carried out in 3 patients completing the procedure with a transrectal drainage. No complications resulted from the procedure and all 3 patients did well, once motility was re-established.
