Abstract

We describe the novel use of a cannula in decompressing a large tension pneumoperitoneum secondary to perforated sigmoid diverticulum, in which the patient did not subsequently require an emergency laparotomy. Needle decompression was successfully used as part of a conservative regimen, thus avoiding potentially high-risk surgery.
