We herein report the findings of a 72-year-old man with gangrenous multivisceral necrosis following an operation for abdominal aortic aneurysm. The region of necrosis, which accompanied infarction of the left kidney, included the entire ileum and the ascending, descending, and sigmoid colon. An end ileostomy and transverse colostomy were performed subsequent to massive bowel resection in a second operation. After the second operation, he was managed with total parenteral nutrition and recovered uneventfully except for end-jejunostomy syndrome. A third operation was performed to reconstruct the interrupted bowel. To minimize abandoned bowel, antiperistaltic transverse colostomy was used for jejunocolonal reconstruction. The antiperistaltic colostomy improved the symptoms of end-jejunostomy syndrome and normalized the patient's vitamin B12 and bile acid levels. An antiperistaltic colostomy is thus considered to be useful for preventing short bowel syndrome after a massive bowel resection.
