Background/Aims Knowledge of the aetiologies of large bowel perforation are fundamental to its management. Stercoral perforation is a rare cause associated with high mortality. Owing to the paucity of coverage of this condition in the literature, this review raises awareness of stercoral perforation among clinicians. Method A literature search of PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Ovid and Cochrane was performed. Key search terms included ‘stercoral, perforation’, ‘perforated’, ‘perforat*’ and ‘stercoral perforation’. Only literature published between December 2011 and July 2020 was included to avoid duplication. Results Twenty-nine papers were obtained giving an overall cohort of 58 patients. The median age was 58 years (range 2–83 years) and 72.4% (n=42) were female. Constipation was reported in 69% (n=40) and 20.7% (n=12) reported chronic opioid use. A computed tomography scan was performed in 94.8% (n=55) of cases and typically a Hartmann's procedure (n=40, 72.2%) was performed. The mortality rate was 17.2% (n=10). Conclusions The median age of patients with stercoral perforation has decreased from that found in previous studies and the mortality rate has improved. Chronic opioid users have also emerged as an important cohort. Early recognition, diligent decision making and focused perioperative care form the backbone of the definitive management of stercoral perforation.
