Consensuses and controversies on one-stage resection and anastomosis surgery in patients with acute obstructive colorectal cancer / 中国实用外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Acute intestinal obstruction is one of the common causes of emergency surgery in patients with colorectal cancer,which is usually with poor prognosis. Surgery is the most important way to relieve obstruction and save the lives. One-stage resection and anastomosis can completely remove the tumor, restore the continuity of the intestine, avoid complications of staged surgery and reduce disease burden,and is supposed to be the most ideal surgery. However,due to certain intraoperative technical difficulties and the risk of anastomotic leakage,it is still controversial whether the one-stage resection and anastomosis surgery can be preferred during emergency exploration.
