===Treatment===

The only treatment available for the disease is surgical resection of the tumour and any strangulated bowel. At surgery, an assessment will be made of the colour of the mesentery, intestinal motility and the presence of absence of a pulse in the mesenteric vessels. Devitalised intestine may be resected and an anastamosis performed.

Endotoxaemia and post-operative ileus are significant potential complications of surgery. Additional risks include infection, adhesions and stenosis of the surgical anastamosis. Various post-operative regimes have been reported to reduce the risk of complication including faecal softeners, anti-inflammatories and pro-kinetics.
