  • Title: [Massive rectal bleeding after appendectomy: report of 2 further cases and review of the literature].
    Author: Pocard M, Chasserant P, Parc R.
    Journal: Ann Chir; 2002 Nov; 127(9):703-5. PubMed ID: 12658830.
    Abstract:
    Massive rectal bleeding complicating appendectomy is extremely rare. This study describes two cases of severe gastrointestinal haemorrhage from an appendiceal stump, occurring one and seven days after appendectomy respectively. The two cases were successfully treated by emergency cecal resection. We reviewed the other previously reported etiologies of massive rectal bleeding after appendectomy for appendicitis.
