According to available information, this case concerns a 20-year-old male with spina bifida (complete paralysis of both lower limbs and decreased rectal and anal sensation).Before initiation of peristeen irrigation, the users mother irrigated using a stoma irrigation set.Mid-october 2022 the irrigation set was changed to peristeen (adult catheter) and the user took over the procedure in the subsequent 2,5 months, without any problems being mentioned.Irrigation was performed with 300 ml water twice weekly.On january 2nd, the user experienced a heavy bleed and abdominal pain immediately after removing the catheter.Due to development of fever, he was hospitalised, and a ct-scan disclosed a perforation (air in retroperitoneum but not in the abdominal cavity).The subsequent laparotomy revealed a punctate perforation (penetration) of the sigmoid, which was resected, and an end-stoma created.The user recovered quickly with concomitant antibiotic coverage.Expert physicians discussed the case and concluded that because the evacuation started while the catheter was still in situ, the bowel wall was sucked into the catheter hole (invagination) and prompted the perforation into mesocolon (extraperitoneal).No further information is available.
