Abstract
An original treatment of caustic rectal stenosis due to abuse of analg esic suppositories is presented. The stenosis had been excluded by dis tal colostomy during 2 years before reconstruction of the circuit was attempted. Anatomically, the stenosis appeared as a complete diaphragm which could be recanalized by an EEA stapler for circular anastomosis , installed in two sites: endoluminal from the colostomy and perineal. After a 2-year follow-up, the anatomical and functional results are s atisfactory.
