  • Title: Colon perforation in renal transplant patients.
    Author: Guice K, Rattazzi LC, Marchioro TL.
    Journal: Am J Surg; 1979 Jul; 138(1):43-8. PubMed ID: 380376.
    Abstract:
    Seven patients had perforated colonic diverticula 1 to 17 months after transplantation. Operation was performed immediately in four patients and from 4 days to 3 months later in three patients. Three patients are alive 9 to 36 months later. Two died of sepsis and two of myocardial infarction. Immediate operation with exclusion carries the best prognosis.
