Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the strategy for the emergency management of acute intestinal obstruction resulted from colorectal cancer. Methods: We collected the clinical data from 88 patients with acute intestinal obstruction resulting from colorectal cancer. They were admitted in our hospital between 1997 and 2007 and received one-stage resection and primary anastomosis. The clinical data were analyzed retrospectively. Results: One-stage resection and primary anastomosis were performed in all the 88 cases. Wound infection occurred in 7 cases as a surgical complication and no anastomotic leakage appeared. There was no surgical death in all the patients. Conclusion: In the emergency management of acute intestinal obstruction resulting from right colorectal cancer, one-stage resection and primary anastomosis are feasible and safe. While subtotal colectomy is feasible and safe in the treatment of left colorectal cancer-induced acute intestinal obstruction.
