Emergency surgery in occlusive colorectal cancer

Abstract

Introduction: Emergency interventions in occlusive colorectal cancer (OCRC) are associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality, determined by the therapeutic attitude and comorbidities of patients, the ways to complete the intervention being the primary anastomosis or the external derivation. Purpose: Analysis of the result of surgical treatment of OCRC in emergencies. Material and methods:Retrospective study on 90 patients with OCRC, operated in Emergency Hospital (Chișinău), between 2018 and 2020. Ratio M:W=1.1:1, average age – 63.96±1.34 years. Results: Cause of hospitalization: acute intestinal occlusion (AIO) and peritonitis – 22(22.44%), AIO – 25(27.7%), subocclusion – 43(47.7%). Conclusions: The type of surgery is determined by the location of the tumor and the degree of intestinal occlusion.
