Abstract

Hemorrhagic chronic radiation proctitis (CRP) refractory to endoscopic therapy is rare. Because of its high morbidity and mortality rates, proctectomy is considered as the last resort. We report the successful treatment of severe hematochezia refractory to endoscopic therapy and diverting colostomy in a patient with CRP via rectal irrigation.
