Overview
Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with radiation proctitis. However it is usually reserved as a last resort for patients with refractory symptoms and complications.
Surgery
Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with radiation proctitis as it can lead to severe post-operative complications which include:[1]
- Significant bleeding
- Sepsis
- Inadvertent enterotomies
- Formation of fistula
- Short bowel syndrome due to extensive bowel resection
- Creation of blind loops due to excessively long bypassed segments
- Nonhealing of anastomoses performed on irradiated tissue
- Anastomotic leak with peritonitis sepsis
However it is usually reserved as a last resort for patients with:[2][3]
- History of unresponsiveness to medical or endoscopic treatment
- History of intractable symptoms/complications like stricture, pain, bleeding, perforation, or a fistula
Surgical options for radiation proctitis include:
- Excision
- Urinary and fecal diversion (diverting stoma) and
- Reconstruction of a coloanal J reservoir
