2019, Seminars in Colon and Rectal SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Patients with rectal injuries which result in rectocutaneous fistulas after perineal prostatectomies may be treated successfully with antibiotics and supportive care.58 The data supporting this management strategy is a small volume case series, but is supported by trauma literature which advocates conservative treatment of rectal injuries below the peritoneal reflection.67,68 Fistulas that are refractory to traditional management in otherwise stable patients may benefit from fibrin glue injection, or stent placement, but studies supporting this therapy are small and retrospective in nature.69,70

2017, InjuryCitation Excerpt :If a rectal injury is suspected, a rigid proctoscopy or sigmoidoscopy is mandatory. Proctoscopy is the gold standard in the detection of rectal injuries [25,26] with reported sensitivities near 100% [22,23,25,27]. Plain radiographs may aid diagnosis, but multi-detector computed tomography (CT) sensitive in diagnosing pneumoretroperitoneum and visceral injury [28,29].
