ABSTRACT
Anastomotic stricture has an incidence rate of 6-10% and typically manifests three to six months after colorectal surgery. Immediate postoperative stricture is exceedingly rare and underreported in the literature. The possible etiology includes poor circulation, leakage, local inflammation, or infection.

We used a sigmoidoscope to remove mucus material, following which the patient recovered well.
