[Surgical management in perforative tumors and diastatic ruptures of colon]

The results of examination and treatment of 38 patients aged from 24 to 85 years with perforated tumors and diastatic ruptures of the colon are analysed. According to the authors conception, optimal surgical procedures in perforative operable tumors and diastatic ruptures of the colon are resection of the affected segment without restoration of the bowel continuity. Palliative operations should be used in patients with inoperable tumors of the colon.
