RESUMO
Objective:To compare the short-term result of one-stage resection and anastomosis for patients with acute complete obstruction of the right and left colonic carcinoma.Methods:The clinical data of 80 patients undergoing emergency one-stage resection and anastomosis of acute complete obstruction for left and right colonic carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Thirty-seven patients were operated on for obstructive carcinoma of the right colon,the mortality was 5.4%(2/37),the rate of complication was 21.6%(8/37),the mean hospital stay and cost was(31.6?12.8)d and(52794.9?60804.3)Yuan RMB,respectively.Forty-three patients were operated on for obstructive carcinoma of the left colon.the mortality was 2.3%(1/43),the rate of complication was 25.6%(11/43),the mean hospital stay and cost was(29.6?14.8)d and(50 192.8 ?39 727.4) Yuan RMB respectively.There was one case of anastomotic leakage in both groups.There were no significant differences of mortality and the rate of complication of the two groups.Conclusions:One-stage resection and anastomosis of acute complete obstruction of left colonic carcinoma can be performed as safely as in those with acute obstruction of right.Intraoperative decompression should be considered seriously in left colonic obstruction prior to the anastomosis following colonic resection.
