Surgical Management Analysis of Emergency Colorectal Cancer Surgical Cases - a Retrospective Observational Study

Abstract

We present an observational retrospective study which takes into consideration and analyzes the surgical management of emergency colorectal cancer cases. This analysis would contribute to a better understanding and for identification of those characteristics that are essential for reducing emergency colorectal cancer incidence and for improving the management of such cases. A number of 159 patients that underwent surgery for obstructive, bleeding or perforated colorectal cancer between January 2015 and September 2017 were selected to be included in the study. The results obtained by analyzing available data collected from the observation charts, surgery protocols, histopathological protocols were then compared with those in the literature.
