After colon resection there is internal colon leakage. Can anything be done?

We are willing to move her anywhere, as permits.  Any cutting edge treatments, procedures?

Gosh, that's really hard!!!  That is a complication that thankfully doesn't happen too often but unfortunately happened to your family member.  I've read that some heal on their own as long as there isn't a blockage underneath it.  And others are surgically repaired.  What do her current doctors say about it?
