    Abstract:
    In the last 12 years 25 patients affected with obstruction from colorectal carcinoma were treated. Mortality following simple colostomy was not different from that of surgical resections (25% vs. 14% in Authors' experience). Major surgery (subtotal colectomy) registered a reasonable mortality rate (5-6%).
