    Journal: Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen; 1998 May 10; 118(12):1863-4. PubMed ID: 9638055.
    Abstract:
    Perforation of the rectum following barium enema is relatively rare, occurring in 1 of 3,000 procedures. Colorectal perforation is a serious condition and early diagnosis is of paramount importance in order to avoid any delay in treating the patient. Direct suture of the perforation, lavage, presacral drainage and stomia are the preferred methods of primary surgical treatment.
