Prikazan je slučaj kirurškog liječenja megakolona i njegovih komplikacija kod sedamnaestogodišnjeg mladića. Dovezen je u hitni kirurški prijam zbog boli u trbuhu i izostanka stolice zadnjih 7 dana. Saznaje se da je mladić od rane mladosti imao problema sa stolicom. Sfinkter kontrolira od 5. godine. Hospitaliziran je kao dijete, te mu je isključena dijagnoza kongenitalnog megakolona (patohistološki pregled biopsije rektuma uredna je nalaza). Od tada je defecirao svaki 4. do 5. dan, uz povremeno primanje laksativa. Nakon hospitalizacije na našem odjelu konzervativnim se metodama pokušala uspostaviti normalna peristaltika. Kako se stanje bolesnika pogoršavalo, napravljena je operacija po Hartmannu (resekcija sigmoidnog kolona). Postoperacijski je oporavak uredan te se devet mjeseci nakon prve operacije uspostavlja kontinuitet debelog crijeva. Mladić se redovito kontrolira i nema tegoba pri defekaciji., This case report examines the surgical treatment of megacolon and its complications in a 17-year-old male patient. He was examined in the surgical emergency unit because of severe abdominal pain and absence of stool for one week. Detailed history revealed that the patient had difficulties in defecation from the early childhood. Sphincter control was not established by the age of five. During hospitalzation as a child, the diagnosis of congenital megacolon was excluded (pathohistological examination of rectal biopsy material showed normal findings). He was followed-up regulary, had stool every four to five days and few times received laxatives to relieve constipation. The patient was hospitalized at the Department of Abdominal Surgery and primarily treated with conservative methods trying to induce intestinal peristaltics. As the patient’s condition worsened, Hartmann’s procedure was performed (sigmoid colon resection). Postoperative recovery was successful and after nine months we established colon continuity. The patient reports for check-ups without any difficulty in defecation.
