Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of acute intestinal perforation in the patients with colorectal carcinoma. Methods The clinical data of 38 colorectal carcinomas complicated with acute intestinal perforation treated in our hospital during 19 years were analyzed retrospectively. Results Acute intestinal perforation was common in old patients with colorectal carcinoma (mean age 62 years).The primary lesions were mostly located in left-side colon and superior rectum(27/38,71.1%). The perforation in the proximal colon of tumor and cecum accounted for 81.6%(31/38), and in tumor site accounted for 18.4%(7/38). The correct rate of preoperative diagnosis was only 15.8%(6/38). The postoperative complications were common and severe. The perioperative mortality was 42.1%(16/38). All the causes of death were multiple organ function deficiency. There were close relations between perioperative mortality and operation time. The postoperative recurrent rate was 41.2%(7/17). Five-year survival rate was 23.5%(4/17). Conclusion Early diagnosis, early operation and active prevention and treatment of multiple organ function deficiency were key to decrease the mortality of the colorectal carcinoma patients with acute intestinal perforation.
