Key result
Creation of a transverse colostomy successfully relieved symptoms and led to endoscopic healing of ischemic proctitis that developed after a sigmoidectomy, allowing for stoma closure 6 months later.

Fukushima et al. (2001) conducted a case report in Ischemic proctitis (n=1). Transverse colostomy (artificial anus creation) was evaluated on Clinical symptom relief and endoscopic healing. Creation of a transverse colostomy successfully relieved symptoms and led to endoscopic healing of ischemic proctitis that developed after a sigmoidectomy, allowing for stoma closure 6 months later.
