LEGRA ZAYAS, Enrique; MONTERO LORA, Yamilda; SAVIGNE MENDOZA, Doralvis  e  PASTO POMAR, Eugenio. Blunt trauma of colon with sigmoid injury. MEDISAN [online]. 2011, vol.15, n.8, pp. 1176-1179. ISSN 1029-3019.

This is a 71 year-old patient with apparent previous good health state who suffered a blunt abdominal trauma due to a domestic accident (fall on her feet) which injured the sigmoid and it resulted in the passing of thin intestinal loops through it, so that these came out through the anus. She had a surgical emergency for reintroducing her loops through the same place and for suturing the colonic injury. The patient had a favorable clinical course and this was checked in several postoperative outpatient visits.
