1 PRINCETON, INDIANA
Three cases of perforation of the rectosigmoid are presented. A flexible Bardex balloon rectal catheter was used in each of these 3 patients and there was no instrumentation of the colon just prior to perforation. In 2 of the cases, the balloon was definitely in the rectosigmoid when inflated. A technique to prevent some of these perforations is suggested.
