title: [To the surgical tactics in complicated colorectal carcinoma in patients with increased operative risk].
abstract: For the period comprised between 1995 and 2005, 247 patients have been under our scrutiny, all of them accepted under emergency due to a complicated colorectal carcinoma, aged between 50 and 89 years, of which 55 women, or 22.26%, and 192 men, or 79.35%. The objective of this study is to show the risk factors for the outcome of this disease, complicated by the following factors: the age factor, concommittant diseases, late diagnosis, high operative risk, as well as the results from the treatment of the patients. It that radical and relatively radical operations are achieved at least in 73 patients (29.56%), the operative mortality nearing 10%, while the 5-year survival time does not excede 32% at a minimum survival rate for this country as a whole of 60% in non-complicated colorectal operable carcinoma.
