Surgical management of complications of radiation-injured gut

A E Cram et al. Am J Surg. 1977 May.

Abstract

Radiation-injured bowel has been diagnosed in 5.1 per cent of 1,824 patients receiving pelvic or abdominal radiotherapy over the past ten years. Surgical intervention to manage these complications was required in 35 per cent. The type of procedure employed for large and small bowel complications has been evaluated to define guidelines for future therapy.
