[Surgical tactics in cancer of the colon complicated by the inflammatory process]

Patients with mild forms of inflammatory complications of carcinoma of the colon should be operated upon after completing the complex conservative treatment with the application of antibiotics and in subsided acute inflammatory process. Radical operations must be performed at the first stage of the surgical treatment of the patients. Such complications as perifocal abscesses, perforation of the tumor, diastatic perforations are considered to be contraindications to a one-step reestablishment of the colonic continuity after left-side resections. Lethality among radically operated patients with carcinoma of the colon complicated by an inflammation or perforation made up 25%.
