  • Title: Early postoperative perforation of the terminal ileum following total colectomy for fulminant colitis.
    Author: Hewett PJ, Hoffmann DC.
    Journal: Aust N Z J Surg; 1991 Jun; 61(6):464-6. PubMed ID: 2059181.
    Abstract:
    Perforation of the ileum following total colectomy for Crohn's colitis is an uncommon entity which was fully described in 1970 by Hawke and Turnbull. Few reports have appeared since that time. A review of the clinical and pathological aspects of two cases of ileal perforation soon after colectomy for Crohn's colitis reveals a marked similarity to the original description of this entity.
