title: [Surgical treatment of colonic and rectal tumors].
abstract: The study included three groups of patients with rectal and colonic tumors operated on under emergency and routine conditions. The percentage of emergency operations proved rather high, surgery being performed under both hospital and field conditions. Causes for calls have been evaluated and extent of surgery versus operating conditions and immediate results in each group assessed. Operating under hospital conditions is recommended for carrying out procedures like that of Hartman involving obligatory removal of tumor and verification of diagnosis. Reconstructive surgery should be performed in specialized wards of a regional clinic. Higher expertise of rural surgeons as well as increased competence of general practitioners in oncopathology, timely inclusion of oncologists into on-call teams of doctors and hospitalization of patients into specialized wards contribute to higher effectiveness of treatment of bowel pathologies.
