Intestinal perforation due to fecal impaction after renal transplantation.

Three renal allograft recipients suffered major intestinal complications shortly after the operation. Identification of diverticular disease, adequate preoperative bowel preparation, avoidance of excessive amounts of non-absorbable antacids, early ambulation, and periodic laxatives and stool softeners can prevent these complications. Surgical management includes careful inspection for additional perforations, resection and colostomy, and continuous peritoneal lavage.
