[Results of extended resections in colorectal cancer].
We present 50 cases of super-radical surgery in cancer of the colon and rectum with tumoral spread. In the same period of time a total of 426 colorectal neoplasms were operated on, which represents 11% of the total. The mean age was 65.7 years, with a predominance of females (29/21). In every case the primitive tumor and contiguous organ affected were excised with an oncologic criterion; the principal location was the rectum, with 14 cases, and the viscus most affected was the female genital tract. The mean hospital stay was slightly longer than that of the general series (20.9/14); the mortality was 4%, a figure similar to that of the general series; the index of morbidity did not rise, survival was comparable and the patient's comfort was enhanced. In our opinion, this technique is indicated in all cases in which the tumor invades contiguous regions when local and/or general conditions permit.
