We report a case of diversion rectocolitis, an inflammatory process that frequently develops in the distal blind colorectum, after surgical diversion of the fecal stream. Since the endoscopic and histologic findings closely resemble those of inflammatory bowel disease, the differential diagnosis can be difficult. However, the inflammation permanently resolves after surgical reanastomosis. Because diversion colitis can also be treated effectively by local application of short-chain fatty acids, it has been postulated that a local nutritional deficiency, resulting from the absence of these acids, triggers the inflammation.

Metastasis to the rectum is very rare and is usually caused by primaries from the breast, gastrointestinal tract, and genitourinary system. We report here a case of acute intestinal obstruction caused by an unusual rectal stenosis, for which he underwent a diversion stoma. On extensive evaluation for the etiology of the rectal stenosis, he was diagnosed with diffuse gastric cancer with Schnitzler's metastasis to the rectal submucosa.

Sump syndrome is a rare complication of biliary surgery that is now rarely seen in the era of Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). It occurs when the distal common bile duct becomes obstructed between an anastomosis from a choledochoduodenostomy (CDD) and the ampulla of Vater, forming a sump that accumulates debris. Sump syndrome should be considered as a diagnosis in patients who present with cholangitis or pancreatitis and any history of biliary diversion, regardless of the time of presentation.
