    My mom had that , and already had gangrene when they opened her up for surgery.
    Docs said she want going to make it but
    She pulled through and lived another 10 years with a ostomy bag before liver cancer got her when she was 84.

    I had a small perforation, that they wanted to try to take care of with antibiotics and a wound vac. Which worked .

    which is why I don’t want to go for the surgery now .
    Probabaly should , but I’m not sure about it.

    My Father had an intestinal blockage, then rupture, emergency surgery, outfitted with the bag, then radiation protocol. Lived over 15 years, renal failure finally took him just a few months short of 92 years.
