Note:
*A colorectal wall defect may be an artifact of extraction ("tissue abuse") rather than perforation.
**Artifact of extraction likely if all the following apply: (i) no inflammatory reaction is present, (ii) no cautery, and (iii) no perforation described in the OR report.

*Inflammation on the external aspect (serosa).

*A colorectal wall defect may be an artifact of extraction ("tissue abuse") rather than perforation.
**Artifact of extraction is likely if all the following apply: (i) no inflammatory reaction is present, (ii) no cautery, and (iii) no perforation described in the operative report.
