[Combined surgical interventions in disseminated forms of rectal cancer]

Combined operative interventions were performed in 375 (14.6%) out of the 2564 patients operated on radically. In 10 patients, evisceration of the pelvic organs was performed. At the preoperative period, 60% of the patients received the intensive irradiation. Among the postoperative complications, the purulent-inflammatory, urologic and cardiovascular ones were the most frequent. The five-year survival after the combined operations was 45.4%, and with preoperative irradiation--60.4%. The recurrences were noted in 23.9 and 5.6% of the patients, respectively.
