Right hemicolectomy for nontraumatic surgical emergencies.
The objective of this study was to assess the main indications, expected complications, and mortality of right hemicolectomy in nontraumatic surgical emergencies. Fifty-eight patients were analyzed. We concluded that the mortality after right hemicolectomy in nontraumatic surgical emergencies is related to systemic rather than local complications.
