I get this problem when my 'naner pups get caught in the heat of the box shipping in. There are 2 things I normally do here;

1. Cut back till there's live tissue visible. Don't worry if this area darkens with some rot, it usually happens. You can pot it but let it be on the dry side with light watering.

2. On the other hand, if the corm is big (at least 6+ inches), I will let it rot all it wants till it stops. From this point, a new growth or two will come up. Again, I will let it be on the dry-ish side.

This crash out situation till rebound may take anything from a minimum of 6 weeks to 12 weeks. Al the best.
