[[Fluid Therapy|Fluid therapy]] and correction of any electrolyte and acid-base derangements should be carried out as soon as possible.  Surgery is usually required to manually reduce or resect and anastomosis or both.  This decision depends on the viability of the intestines, as determined by the colour, vascular supply and presence or absence of peristalsis.  Risks of complications include dehiscence of site of anastomosis, [[Peritonitis - WikiClinical|peritonitis]], recurrence (11-20%, most common within 1-5 days post surgery), ileus, intestinal obstruction and [[Short Bowel Syndrome - WikiClinical|short bowel syndrome]]. Recurrence can be treated with motility altering drugs or intestinal pexy or plication.  It is important to preserve as much of the intestine as possible to avoid [[Short Bowel Syndrome - WikiClinical|short bowel syndrome]].
