[Multivisceral resection in locally advanced carcinoma of the colon and rectum].
Locally advanced colorectal canter may require an intraoperative decision for the block resection of surrounding organs or structures to achieve complete tumour removal. This decision must weigh the risk of complications and death of multivisceral resection against a potential survival benefit. Little is known about the prognostic factors and their influence on the outcome of multivisceral resection for colorectal cancer. We demonstrate our experience with multivisceral resections for the primary colorectal cancer. Patients undergoing multivisceral resection for primary colon or rectal cancer between I-I.2000-I-VII.2003 were identified from retrospective database. Multivisceral resection was performed in 41 of 378 patients with a median age of 61 years. Postoperative rates of complications and death in 41 patients were 30.9% and 12.1%. Histologic tumour infiltration was shown in 58.3% of patients with curative resection. Multivisceral resection is safe, and long-term survival after curative resection is similar to that after standard resection. As the palliative resections cannot be predicted accurately at the time of surgery, every effort should be made to achieve complete tumour resection.
