  • Title: [The method of choice for surgical treatment of intestinal obstruction in colon cancer].
    Author: Ermolov AS, Rudin EP, Oiun DD.
    Journal: Khirurgiia (Mosk); 2004; (2):4-7. PubMed ID: 14983144.
    Abstract:
    The authors present the results of surgical treatment of 326 patients with cancer of the colon complicated by occlusive intestinal obstruction. Three degrees of colon passage disorders were distinguished. Surgical policy depended on location of the tumor, degree of the obstruction, severity of general state and concomitant diseases. General postoperative lethality was 13% (43 of 326 operated patients died). Resection of the colon and subtotal colectomy with one-stage intestinal reconstruction may be recommended for patients with compensated stage of intestinal obstruction and stable general state.
