• In stab wounds, the left colon is the most frequently injured segment, probably because of the predominance of right­handed assailants.
• Blunt trauma to the colon is uncommon and is diagnosed in about 0.5% of all major blunt trauma or in 10.6% of patients undergoing laparotomy. Most of these injuries are partial thick­ness and only 3% of patients undergoing laparotomy have full­thickness colon perforations.
• Traffi c trauma is the most common cause of blunt colon injury.
• Seatbelts increase the risk of hollow viscous perforations and the presence of a seatbelt mark sign is a predictor of hollow viscous injury.
Diagnosis
• The diagnosis of colon injury is almost always made intraop­eratively.
• A rectal examination may show blood in the stool, especially in cases with distal colon or rectal injuries.
• The colon can reliably be evaluated by soluble enema stud­ies or abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan with soluble rectal contrast. Retroperitoneal gas or contrast extrava­sation are diagnostic and an exploratory laparotomy should be performed.
• The diagnosis may be suspected by the presence of free gas or thickened colonic wall on the routine abdominal CT scan.

• Intraoperatively, every paracolic hematoma caused by pen­etrating trauma should be explored and the underlying colon should be evaluated carefully.
• Paracolic hematomas caused by blunt trauma should not undergo routine exploration unless there is evidence of colon perforation.
Colon Injury Scale
• The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) developed a grading system for organ injuries in order to have objective criteria for the classifi cation of the severity of the injury and enable reliable comparisons of results.
• The AAST Colon Injury Scale is shown in Table 22.2 .
B. Operative Management
Historical Perspective
• The policy of mandatory colostomy for all colon injuries remained the unchallenged standard of care until the late 1970s. Stone and Fabian reported the fi rst major scientifi c challenge of this policy in 1979. In a prospective, randomized study, which excluded patients with hypotension, multiple associated injuries, destructive colon injuries, and delayed operations, the authors concluded that primary repair was associated with fewer complications than colostomy. The exclusion criteria were perceived as risk factors for anastomotic leak and were absolute indications for diversion.
452 The ASCRS Manual of Colon and Rectal Surgery
• In the 1990s and 2000s, primary repair became the standard of care in most cases although there is still some skepticism by many surgeons, especially in the presence of certain risk fac­tors such as destructive colon injuries, severe contamination, multiple injuries, and delays in treatment.
• The recent reported experience deals mostly with civilian trauma. Military combat injuries have different mechanisms of injury, potential delays in evacuation and management, and challenges in postoperative management. Civilian trauma prin­ciples may not be appropriate to military trauma.
Nondestructive Colon Injuries
• There is now enough class I evidence (prospective, randomized studies) supporting primary repair in all nondestructive colon injuries (injuries involving <50% of the bowel wall and with­out devascularization) irrespective of risk factors.
• Overall, collective review of all available prospective, randomized studies (class I evidence) identifi ed 160 patients with primary repair and an incidence of 13.1% of abdominal sepsis compli­cations. In the group of 143 patients treated with diversion, the abdominal sepsis complication rate was 21.7% (Table 22.3 ).
Destructive Colon Injuries
• The available prospective, randomized studies, which include only a small number of cases, recommend resection with anas­tomosis irrespective of risk factors.
• In view of the lack of large prospective studies in the literature, the AAST sponsored a prospective multicenter study to evalu­ate the safety of primary anastomosis or diversion and iden­tify independent risk factors for colon-related complications in patients with destructive colon injuries requiring resection.
• Multivariate analysis identifi ed three independent risk factors for abdominal complications: severe fecal contamination, >4 units of blood transfusions within the fi rst 24 h, and single­agent antibiotic prophylaxis. If all three risk factors were present, the incidence of abdominal complications was about 60%, if any two factors were present the complications rate was 34%, if only one factor was present this fi gure was about 20%, and with no risk factors it was 13%.

Abdominal complications (%)
• Multivariate analysis showed that the adjusted relative risk of abdominal complication in patients with primary anastomosis or diversion was similar, in both the low-risk and high-risk patients (Table 22.4 ). The study concluded that “In view of these fi ndings and the fact that colon diversion is associated with worse quality of life and requires an additional operation for closure, colon injuries requiring resection should be man­aged by primary repair, irrespective of risk factors.”
• The only conditions for which there is agreement for colos­tomy are the presence of severe colon edema or a questionable blood supply of the colon. In these situations, at least theoreti­cally, a diversion procedure might be a safe option.
454 The ASCRS Manual of Colon and Rectal Surgery
Risk Factors for Abdominal Complications
• The abdominal complication rate in colon injuries is very high, with a sepsis rate of about 20% (Table 22.1 ).
Left Versus Right Colon Injuries
• No clinical or experimental study has ever demonstrated any healing differences between the two sides of the colon or any evidence that the two anatomic sides should be treated differently.
Associated Abdominal Injuries
• Class I and II studies have shown that although multiple asso­ciated intraabdominal injuries are signifi cant risk factors for intraabdominal sepsis, the method of colon management does not affect the incidence of abdominal sepsis.
• The current class I and II literature supports primary repair or resection and anastomosis in patients with severe or multiple associated abdominal injuries.
Shock
• There is now suffi cient class I and II evidence that preoperative or intraoperative shock is neither an independent risk factor for abdominal sepsis nor a contradiction for primary colon repair or anastomosis.
Blood Transfusions
• In a large prospective AAST study of 297 patients with penetrat­ing destructive colon injuries requiring resection, blood trans­fusion was the most critical independent factor for abdominal sepsis [adjusted relative risk (RR), 2.0; 95% confi dence inter­val (CI), 1.31–2.83; P = 0.001]. However, the method of colon management did not infl uence the complication rate in this group of patients and primary anastomosis was recommended.
Injury Severity Score
• The ISS is not an independent risk factor for abdominal sepsis and high ISS (>15) is not a contraindication for primary repair or anastomosis.
22. Colon and Rectal Trauma and Rectal Foreign Bodies 455
Fecal Contamination
• All prospective, randomized studies and recent large prospective observational studies have shown that the method of colon manage­ment in this group of patients does not infl uence the septic compli­cation rate and recommended primary repair or anastomosis.
Specifi c Associated Abdominal Injuries
• There is class III evidence that the combination of colon inju­ries with pancreatic or ureteric injuries is associated with an increased incidence of septic complications. However, there is no evidence that the presence of any of these injuries is a con­traindication for primary repair or anastomosis.
Time from Injury to Operation
• The length of delay of surgical repair over which the septic complication rate increases is not well defi ned. Some studies suggest >6 h whereas others >12 h as the critical delays associ­ated with an increased risk of infections.
• The degree of contamination is much more important than the delay in surgical management and the time delay in itself should not be used as a criterion for primary repair or diversion.
Retained Missiles
• Missiles, which passed through the colon and remained lodged in the tissues, are not associated with increased risk of local sepsis and they should be removed only if it is technically easy and does not prolong the operation.
Anatomic Location of Colon Injury
• There is a plethora of classes I, II, and III evidence that the inci­dence of complications is similar in right and left colon injuries.
Temporary Abdominal Wall Closure
• Damage control laparotomy and temporary abdominal wall closure with prosthetic material seem to be associated with increased incidence of abdominal septic complications.
• There is no literature addressing the optimal management of colon injuries in this group of patients.
• Some authors prefer primary repair or resection and anastomo­sis, to avoid a colostomy near an open abdomen.
456 The ASCRS Manual of Colon and Rectal Surgery
Anastomotic Leaks
• Colon leaks remain the most serious complication in repaired or anastomosed colons.
• The overall incidence of suture line failures is fairly low.
• In a collective review of 35 prospective or retrospective studies with 2,964 primary repairs, Curran reported 66 (2.2%) leaks.
• The leak rate after resection and anastomosis is signifi cantly higher than in simple repairs.
• The risk factors for anastomotic leak are not well defi ned. It seems that colocolostomies are associated with a higher inci­dence of anastomotic leaks than ileocolostomies.
• A multicenter prospective AAST study reported a leak rate of 4.2% for ileocolostomies and 8.9% in colocolostomies. The leaks occurred in patients with or without multiple blood transfusions, severe contamination, and multiple asso­ciated injuries. No signifi cant independent risk factors could be identifi ed.
• The prognosis of anastomotic leaks is usually good and most of the patients can safely be managed nonoperatively with low­residue diet.
• In most cases, the leak results in a fecal fi stula, which heals spontaneously within a few days. In other cases, the leak results in a local abscess, which can be drained percutaneously.
• In some patients, the colonic leak causes severe intraabdominal sepsis and a proximal diversion procedure may be required.
• Reexploration of the abdomen and creation of fecal diver­sion with or without resection of the leaking colon should be reserved only for patients with generalized peritonitis or failed percutaneous drainage.
C. Technique of Colon Repair
• In nondestructive injuries, repair of the injured colon should be performed after debridement of the perforation.
• The method of anastomosis, hand-sewn or stapled, does not infl uence the incidence of abdominal complications or leak rate and it should be surgeon’s preference.
• Further protection of the anastomosis with adjacent omentum is recommended whenever possible.

D. Rectal Injuries
• Because of the paucity of class I and class II data, no consensus has been achieved with respect to the optimal management of rectal trauma.
Anatomy
• The anatomy of the rectum makes it diffi cult to apply the prin­ciples of colon trauma management.
• The rectum is easily accessible from the anus, with the anterior peritoneal refl ection only approximately 6 cm from the anal verge. This results in a not uncommon fi nding of intraperito­neal injury from rectal foreign bodies.
Epidemiology
• For the various anatomic reasons, injuries to the rectum occur infrequently, and are usually the result of penetrating trauma.
• In most series, gunshot and shotgun wounds account for 80–85% of injuries, and stab wounds for 3–5%.
• Other causes include iatrogenic injuries from urologic and endoscopic procedures, sexual misadventure, and anorectal foreign bodies.
• Rectal injuries have been reported in nearly 2% of all pelvic fractures.
Diagnosis
• The diagnosis of intraperitoneal rectal injury, similar to colonic injuries, is almost always made intraoperatively.
• Extraperitoneal rectal injuries may not always be as obvious.
• The cornerstone for diagnosing an extraperitoneal injury is the combination of a digital rectal examination and rigid proctos­copy. In most series, the diagnostic accuracy of the digital rec­tal examination and rigid proctoscopy ranges from 80 to 95%.
• In hemodynamically stable patients with a mechanism sus­picious for a rectal injury (gluteal, perineal, and transpelvic gunshot wounds, pelvic fractures, and foreign body insertion), a digital rectal examination and a rigid proctoscopy must be
458 The ASCRS Manual of Colon and Rectal Surgery
performed and in the appropriate cases further evaluation by means of a contrast study should be considered.
Rectal Organ Injury Scale
• The grading system developed by the AAST for rectal injuries (Table 22.5 ) is similar to that of colonic injuries (Table 22.2 ).
E. Operative Management
Historical Perspective
• Presently there is no acceptable gold standard for the treatment of rectal injuries, because most studies have been unable to demonstrate any advantage of the various treatment options.
Intraperitoneal Injuries
• Several studies indicate that injuries to the intraperitoneal rec­tum can be managed similar to left colon injuries with primary repair without the need for colostomy.
Extraperitoneal Injuries
Fecal Diversion with Colostomy
• Since World War II, the mainstay of management of extraperi­toneal injuries has been proximal colostomy. The only contro­versial aspect has been whether to perform a loop colostomy versus an end colostomy.
Table 22.5. AAST rectal organ injury scale.
Grade Injury description
I (a) Contusion or hematoma without devascularization
II Laceration £ 50% of circumference III Laceration >50% of circumference IV Full-thickness laceration with extension into the perineum V Devascularized segment
(b) Partial-thickness laceration
22. Colon and Rectal Trauma and Rectal Foreign Bodies 459
• Rombeau et al. demonstrated that a properly constructed loop colostomy, supported by a solid rod above the level of the skin, achieves complete fecal diversion.
• The authors believe that the type of colostomy should be dictated by the operative fi ndings. Extensive destruction of the rectum that requires a resection may best be served with a Hartmann’s procedure, whereas injuries that are not repaired or require lim­ited dissection may be addressed by a loop colostomy.
Presacral Drainage
• In a series of 48 patients, 23 randomized to presacral drainage and 25 randomized to no drainage, no difference in pelvic sep­sis was encountered. This represents the fi rst and only class I study involving rectal injuries.
Distal Rectal Washout
• The authors do not recommend distal bowel irrigation. There is no proven benefi t, and it may be associated with a high risk of infection because of spillage of intraluminal contents out of unrepaired rectal injuries.
Rectal Repair
• Even when repair is performed, no outcome advantage has been proven.
Miscellaneous Options
• Although extremely rare, abdominoperineal resection has been described for patients with severe bleeding, massive tissue loss, or devascularizing injuries.
• In a prospective study of 20 patients with extraperitoneal rectal injuries, laparoscopy (to rule out an intraperitoneal injury), fol­lowed by a diverting loop sigmoid colostomy without laparot­omy yielded excellent results.
Associated Injuries
• Associated injuries are often seen with rectal injuries and have been reported to occur in as many as 77% of cases.
• Genitourinary, and in particular bladder injuries, are the most fre­quently seen associated injuries, occurring in 30–64% of cases.
