Internal Ileocolic Bypass as a Palliative Treatment for Intestinal Obstruction Due to Peritoneal Carcinomatosis: A Case Report

Intestinal obstruction due to peritoneal carcinomatosis is a common complication in advanced cancer stages, particularly in gynecological and gastrointestinal cancers [1]. This case report describes a 65-year-old female patient with a history of breast cancer, uterine carcinoma, and recurrent tumor, who developed intestinal obstruction secondary to generalized peritoneal carcinomatosis. Surgical treatment involved an internal ileocolic bypass after failure of medical management. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with resolution of symptoms and restoration of bowel function.
