[Combined operations in colorectal cancer with bladder resection]. / Kombinirovannye operatsii pri kolorektal'nom rake s rezektsiei mochevogo puzyria.

The paper is concerned with analysis of data on 42 patients who had undergone combined surgery with resection of the bladder for locally advanced cancer of the colon. The procedure was palliative in 35.7% and primary rehabilitative in 81% of patients. Postoperative complications developed in 33.3% of cases. Overall postoperative lethality rate was 14.3% while that following radical surgery--11.1%. Five-year survival rate in radically treated patients was 38%.

[Combination primary restorative surgical interventions in cancer of the rectum in women]. / Kombinirovannye pervichno-vosstanovitel'nye khirurgicheskie vmeshatel'stva pri rake priamoi kishki u zhenshchin.

In the past 15 years, 136 combined operations in women with locally disseminated rectal cancer were performed. Eighty-two (60.3%) operations were primary-restorative. After them, the lethality was 2.9%, 3- and 5-year survival--64 and 40%, respectively. The performance of the combined sphincter-preserving operations is expedient, despite the spreading of the primary tumour.
