[Occlusions and perforations caused by carcinoma of the colon and rectum].
Minerva Chir. 1977 Feb 28; 32(4):177-86.MC

Abstract

A group of 137 patients observed at the Emergency Surgery and First Aid Division of the Fatebenefratelli Hospital of Milan between 1971 and 1974 is examined. The patients all presented a clinical picture of occlusion and/or perforation of the colon and rectum due to carcinoma, requiring emergency surgery. The clinical material examined is analysed and the surgical treatment adopted and the results obtained reported. Post-operative mortality was 16.8% in cases of occlusion, 21.6% in cases of perforation, and 36.4% in mixed cases. 63 patients, i.e. 46%, were subjected to more or less extensive resection and the mortality in this group was 11.2%; in the remaining 74 patients, ax only palliative measures were possible and mortality was 28.3%. It is observed, finally, that among emergency colon operations, right colectomy carried out immediately offers encouraging results, while resection of the left colon, apart from certain special cases, should be preceded by decompressive colostomy.
