Enema administration is common in Black tribal communities. In the urban environment, toxic and corrosive ingredients may be used which can lead to severe complications. The diagnosis and principles of treatment of complicated proctocolitis of enema origin are discussed. The management of 2 patients who developed long stricutres extending low into the rectum is described. After subtotal rectal and sigmoid resection, continuity was successfully restored using a transanal sleeve anastomosis. Subsequent continence was normal in both patients.
