ABSTRACT
A 76-years old man with a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm underwent an emergency abdominal aortic replacement with artificial graft. The patient developed abdominal compartment syndrome at the day of the operation and he received secondary decompression operation the next day. At 45 hours after the second operation the patient was returned to operation room to close the abdominal fascia, and sigmoid colon necrosis was found so we performed sigmoid colectomy with colostomy. After 22 days from the last operation, the abdominal wound was closed completely and the patient was discharged at the 42nd postoperative day with a colostomy state. We report here on this complex case together with a review of the recent articles.
