Intraoperative appearance of radiation enteritis: What should be resected?

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.
