title: [Colonic lesion caused by acute pancreatitis. Use of minimal catheter jejunostomy. Apropos of 6 cases].
abstract: Colonic affectation in the context of acute pancreatitis is undoubtedly a rare complication to judge from the number of cases reported in the literature, but its appearance is increasing, perhaps because it is receiving more attention. The "infrequent" complications of so-called acute pancreatitis range from massive necrosis of the colon to fistula of the transverse colon, colonic stricture as a chronic manifestation and finally, colonic varices as a sign of segmental portal hypertension due to involvement of the mesenteric portal axis. A retrospective study was made of 6 cases treated in our General and Digestive Surgery Department and the literature on this etiopathogenic situation was reviewed to study the clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of these uncommon complications. We propose minimal catheter jejunostomy as a technique for the prevention and treatment of possible complications, with epidural analgesia of these patients.
