Ma. Hovey et Am. Metcalf, INCARCERATED RECTAL PROLAPSE - RUPTURE AND ILEAL EVISCERATION AFTER FAILED REDUCTION - REPORT OF A CASE, Diseases of the colon & rectum, 40(10), 1997, pp. 1254-1257
We report a case of incarcerated rectal prolapse that could not be red
uced after using the previously described application of ordinary tabl
e sugar. Gentle pressure caused the prolapsed rectum to perforate, and
the small bowel herniated through the tear. This is only the secund c
ase reported in the literature of an ileal herniation through a perfor
ated rectum after an attempted reduction of an incarcerated prolapse.
It is the only reported case occurring after sugar application and the
42nd case of ileal herniation through the rectum from all causes.
