[Surgical emergency interventions in acute diseases of the large intestine].
Emergency operations due to acute colonic disease between 1. 1. 1984 and 31. 12. 1991 were retrospectively analyzed with regard to causality, surgical procedure, complications and mortality. 55 of 1105 colonic operations were emergency cases requiring immediate surgical intervention. Primary continuity preserving resections were carried out whenever possible, attending not only to the acute situation but also to the primary disease. The mean age of the 26 females and 29 males was 69 [1, 9] years. 29 patients had a colonic ileus, 21 a diffuse peritonitis and 5 patients had an uncontrolled haemorrhage. Colorectal carcinomas were initially diagnosed in 20 of the 50 patients; 14 of these patients (70%) could be operated for potential cure and primary continuity preserving resections were also possible for 14 patients (70%). Continuity preserving resections were possible for 18 of 21 patients with peritonitis and 3 colonic perforations were oversutured. In the 5 patients with acute haemorrhage, 4 resections and one transanal intervention were performed. Postoperative complications were observed in 19 patients (35%). Postoperative mortality was 16% (9/55), 5% for operations due to peritonitis, 24% for operations due to colonic ileus and 20% for operations due to haemorrhage. Primary continuity preserving resections were possible for 39 of 55 patients (71%).
