[Intestinal obstruction caused by colorectal neoplasms].
The Authors report their ten-year experience in 85 cases of colorectal carcinoma presenting with large bowel obstruction. They underline the high morbidity and mortality of such condition related to the late diagnosis and the poor general conditions of the patients. After reviewing the literature they point out that the best treatment consists in dealing both with the intestinal obstruction and its cause during the same operative time. The post-operative mortality after radical treatment is acceptable especially when compared to derivative procedures.
