    Author: Yamamura M, Nishi M, Furubayashi H, Hioki K, Yamamoto M.
    Journal: Dis Colon Rectum; 1985 May; 28(5):347-52. PubMed ID: 3996152.
    Abstract:
    A case of generalized peritonitis, secondary to a perforation of the rectosigmoid colon during barium-enema roentgenography, is presented. The patient required immediate surgical intervention with the prime importance of the treatment being removal of as much of the contaminating materials as possible. This was done successfully with irrigation and wiping, using urokinase solution. Peritoneal lavage with urokinase solution was also carried out in the early postoperative period. Fluid replacement with careful monitoring of fluid and electrolyte balance is essential before, during, and after the surgical procedure. Adequate antibiotic therapy and careful respiratory and nutritional support are also important.
