Unlabelled:
The aim of this study is to present the difficulty of an accurate preoperative diagnostic for synchronous colonic cancers and to sustain the necessity of total colectomy. A retrospective study was carried out on 16 patients hospitalized in the IIIrd Surgical Unit, St. Spiridon Hospital, U.M.Ph. "Gr.T.Popa" Iasi between 1990-1999. The surgical procedures were: extensive colectomy with ileo-sigmoid anastomosis, segmentary colectomy, total colectomy with ileo-rectal anastomosis.
Results:
Perioperative mortality: zero; uneventfully recovery for all patients. A metachronous lesion 3 years after the first operation was detected in one patient; postoperatively, one patient developed occlussion 3 months after, requiring re-operation.
Conclusions:
1. synchronous colonic cancers are closely related with a genetic instability of the colonic mucosa; 2. total colectomy is a safe manner to prevent metachronous lesions.
