The verification of the adequate perfusion of the anastomosis is essential to ensuring anastomosis integrity following colonic resections. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of measuring the electrical activity of the colonic muscularis externa at an anastomosis site for perfusion analysis following colorectal surgery.

Gallstone ileus, a rare cause of mechanical bowel obstruction, occurs due to the formation of a cholecystenteric fistula allowing gallstones to migrate into the gastrointestinal tract. The condition occurs mostly in elderly patients, particularly women, and carries a significant mortality risk due to delayed diagnosis. This case report discusses a 77-year-old female patient with a history of chronic medical conditions, who self-presented with periumbilical pain, nausea, and reduced bowel movements.

However, there is a notable gap in comprehensive studies on PVT in IBD, especially with the increasing incidence of IBD in Asia.
