Missed Rectal Injury Kills Patient
Missed rectal injury A 22 year old man presented to the trauma centre 3 days following a stab wound to the right buttock. He had initially been seen at another hospital where a 1.5cm wound to the outer aspect of the right buttock had been cleaned and stitched. He represented due to pain in the buttock and appearance of a 4cm black patch around the buttock wound. He had never complained of any rectal pain or bleeding. Examination at the trauma centre included digital rectal examination and rigid sigmoidoscopy/proctoscopy, revealing some blood and pus and an injury to the lateral rectal wall. The patient was transferred immediately to the operating room for debridement of the buttock wound and defunctioning colostomy. On the operating table the necrotic patch on the buttock had expanded to approximately 8cm in diameter. Debridement was commenced but could not keep pace with the rapidly spreading necrotizing fasciitis. (The patient later died on the operating table)  · |

Re: Missed Rectal Injury Kills Patient
