title: [Necrosis of epiploic appendages of the colon].
abstract: Fifty-two patients with necrosis of epiploic appendages (EA) of the colon were treated. Necrosis of EA of the appendix was diagnosed in 4 (7,7%) patients, caecum - in 7 (13,5%), ascending colon - in 5 (9,6%), descending colon - in 2 (3,8%), and sigmoid colon - in 34 (65,4%) cases. Multiple necrosis was revealed in 3 (5,8%) patients. Surgical treatment of these patients is radical and justified. It prevents progress of destruction and development of complications. Long-term results are evaluated for the first time.
