title: [Primary radical surgical interventions in acute obstruction of the colon of tumor genesis in middle-aged and aged patients].
abstract: Results of surgical treatment in 262 (88.8%) of 295 elderly and old patients with tumor obstruction of the colon are analyzed. Based on comparative assessment of results of radical and palliative operations, the efficacy of radical operations characterized by lower lethality in these patients regardless of cancer location in the colon is demonstrated. It is concluded that expansion of indications for radical operations in elder groups of patients is one of real ways to improve surgical results in obturative obstruction caused by cancer of the colon of any location. In urgent surgical interventions the preference should be given to obstructive variants of radical operations which are substantiated pathogenically and permit to reach better immediate results particularly at the height of acute obturation of the left half of the colon.
