Özet
A 70-year-old man underwent laparoscopic anterior resection for sigmoid carcinoma, and on postoperative day 4, he required an emergency Hartmann procedure for bowel ischemia and anastomotic leakage. Five days after the emergency procedure, there was a massive hemorrhage through the anus that appeared in the abdominal drain. During exploration, the origin of the bleeding could not be found, and the rectal stump was closed over a urinary Foley catheter (with an inflated balloon) with the help of a purse-string suture. In the intensive care unit, massive hematochezia continued. Emergency transanal colonoscopy to the Hartmann stump found the rectum full of clotted blood. Active pulsatile arterial bleeding of a rectal Dieulafoy lesion was detected. After endoscopic hemostasis efforts failed, bleeding was stopped successfully by transanal suturing. The patient was discharged without any other problems, and no recurrent bleeding occurred during the 18-month follow-up. Here, we report a rectal Dieulafoy lesion in a Hartmann stump for the first time.
