Surgical approach for acute ischemic colitis after scuba diving: A case report.

We report a case of full-thickness ischemic colitis treated with failed conservative treatment but successfully treated surgically. The case that was presented here suggests that decompression after scuba diving may cause severe symptoms in the gastrointestinal tract and may require a surgical approach. Treatment depends on the severity of the symptoms and the patient's condition, but surgical approaches should be considered. PMID: 32436978 [PubMed - in process]
