Abdominal wall non-clostridian gas cellulitis: a rare complication of a colostoma.

Chirurgia 2014 September
The authors report the case of a 69 year-old patient, with obesity, having a left colostomy that has been made for rectal cancer (12 years ago) and who developed a non-clostridian gascellulitis of the abdominal wall as a result of intraparietal traumatic tract perforation of the colostomy. The presence of the peristomal hernia favoured the posttraumatic injury of the colostomy. Repeated surgical inteventions and the antibiotic treatment determined a favourable evolution. Despite the wound contamination with excrement, transit stoma relocation was not necessary. Some clinical and therapeutic aspects of abdominal wall infections are presented.
