Overview

Frequent clinical follow up of the abdomen, careful monitoring of vital signs and serial radiographic and colonoscopic examinations are needed. Small delay in second-look operation, 72 hours, promotes the viability of the colonic mucosa and the anastomotic healing. This procedure offers a survival rate of almost 65%.
