Abstract:
In 34 patients operated on in emergency for complications of cancer of the colon (CC) it was found that complications prevailed in stage III of disease and were mainly represented by occlusions which were more frequent in left colon cancer. Radical surgery proved preferable to the palliative one. The mean survival time in months after emergency surgery for complications of CC was longer for right colon localizations and after radical surgery. The survival after 5 years was of 13%.
