Colorectal surgeon. That's who you want on board. Maybe technology has changed in the last 15 years since I did this type of work, but the way to repair the perforation is to open the abdomen (laparotomy) and run the bowel/large intestine to find the hole (though the most common location statistically is the sigmoid colon--the part of large intestine right before the rectum). Yes, you want to repair the perforation, but the other major concern is avoidance of infection/abscess. Wherever the hole is is going to leak bacteria into the normally-sterile abdominal cavity. An intra-abdominal infection is the greatest worry.

Good luck, Craig.
