Özet

Gunshot injuries can cause damage to the tissues due to mechanical or blast effects from bullets. In this type of injury in the pelvic area, a careful rectal examination is mandatory, and the patient may require a protective stoma in the presence of rectal injury. Rectal damage can be detected using laparoscopic and endoscopic techniques, resulting in lower morbidity and mortality. We here report a patient having rectum injury due to blast effect which resolved spontaneously without surgical intervention.
