[Transanal decompression procedure in acute pseudo-obstruction of the colon].
Based on 3 observations the relatively rare pseudo-obstruction of the colon is described. The pathophysiological mechanism is still unknown. In chronic or subacute cases a conservative treatment seems to be justified. However this does not apply to advanced cases or when there is threat of a colon perforation. As a possible alternative to a colostomy for transanal aseptic decompression a new intestinal tube is introduced.
