LOWER GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT BLEEDING
Profuse bleeding from the lower gastrointestinal tract is observed in 20-25% of all cases of gastrointestinal hemorrhages and may result in high death rates. For this condition, rehabilitation measures are implemented, by simultaneously determining the site, etiology, and nature of bleeding. Mini-invasive (radiation and endoscopic) studies are reasonably informative and reliable. If surgery is needed, subtotal colectomy is more preferable to blind segmental colon resection.
