TACTICS OF THE SURGEON IN URGENT COMPLICATIONS OF COLON CANCER

Abstract

Aim. The aim of the work is to develop the tactics for the treatment of complicated colon cancer (tumor perforation, tumor bleeding, acute obturation obstruction).Materials and methods. The clinical development included 324 patients with urgent complications of colon cancer. 269 patients were operated urgently and immediately, 56 operations were deferred. The diagnosis was based on anamnesis, clinical, laboratory and special research methods (ultrasound, CT, EGD, colonoscopy, histological examination). Results. Postoperative mortality in urgent complications of colon cancer was 3.5%.Conclusion. The rationale for the choice of method and volume of surgery, depending on the location and nature of complications of colon cancer, is provided.
