Laparoscopic primary repair of a pediatric transanal impalement injury: a case report

Philip J Hammond et al. J Laparoendosc Adv Surg Tech A. 2007 Dec.

Abstract

Conventional treatment of anorectal impalement injuries involves an open exploration and either a fecal diversion and/or a primary repair dictated by the degree of soft-tissue disruption and contamination. In this paper, the authors present the case report of a successful primary laparoscopic repair of an accidental transanal intraperitoneal impalement injury in a child.
