If there is pus due to perforation, this will cause left-sided peritonitis. In this situation, we give :

  • 1st, IV antibiotics & make sure he is NPO
  • then, immediately send him for surgery (Hartmann's procedure)
  • after ~6 weeks (after eradicating the infection), we re-anastomose the proximal and the distal parts of his bowel
