Abstract |
Radiation enteritis can appear up to 30 years after radiotherapy. Outside acute complications, it usually manifests itself as chronic intestinal obstruction. If medical treatment ( corticosteroid therapy) fails, surgical treatment is indicated, namely resection of the affected bowel, with removal of the ileo-caecal valve.
