[Treatment of tumoral colonic obstruction]
Abstract:
The work was devoted to problems of treatment of patients with cancer of the colon complicated by tumoral colonic obstruction. The authors propose an improved clinical classification of disturbances of colonic obstruction with colorectal cancer. The questions discussed are: decision on the strategy of treatment of acute colonic obstruction patients, the possible differential approach to choosing methods of treatment depending on localization of tumor and duration of the period of the development of intestinal obstruction. The results of treatment of 148 patients with colorectal cancer complicated by acute colonic obstruction are analyzed. It was shown that in 20% of patients with the initial stage of obstruction with the tumor localized in the left half of the colon it was possible to resolve the obstruction by conservative measures followed by the preparation of the patients to planned operation.

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and solid...
