Rectal injury

Because the rectum is deep, concealed, and well protected by the pelvis, it is rarely damaged. Once the injury is due to the empty rectum or the stool has formed, it is not easy to overflow from the perforation, the inflammation progresses slowly, the symptoms are hidden, and it is easy to be ignored. However, there are many types of bacteria in the wounded feces, with a high density of 1016 / L, which can easily cause severe infections in the abdominal cavity or around the rectum, with many complications and a high mortality rate. Therefore, great attention should be paid to the early diagnosis and management of rectal rupture.
