Temporary colostomy as a treatment of colonic torsion in dogs
Roman Aleksiewicz | Daria Kostrzewa | Krzysztof Lutnicki | Marek Kostrzewski | Aneta Bocheńska
anglais. Volvulus of the colon can occur spontaneously as a result of intestinal atony, chronic inflammation, neoplastic, parasitic invasion, and the presence of foreign bodies. If colonic torsion is confirmed, the only treatment option is exploratory surgery. After laparotomy and decompression of the distended large bowel, the twisted portion of the colon is evaluated for vitality and evidence of necrosis. The standard treatment in the case of intestinal necrosis is resection of the affected portion of the gut and anastomosis. The primary benefit is avoidance of stoma, but many complications related to unsuccessful anastomosis are possible.
