In these and subsequent reports, there was no mention that a segment of colon had been passed per rectum. Two such cases constitute the basis of this report.The segments consisted of a discontinuous tube composed of the major layers of the descending and sigmoid colon. Both patients passed formed stools per rectum after the catastrophe. In one, at the time of necropsy, a "new false colon" was found. This new channel was formed by remnants of the colon,...Bibliography1. Ficarra BJ: Mesenteric vascular occlusion, Am. J. Surg. 66: 168, 1944. CrossrefGoogle Scholar2.
