A local relapse of cancer was found in 18 (15.1%) of patients, mean time between the primary and restorative operations was 7.4 months. The results of treatment were analyzed in 62 patients in whom the strategy of treatment of malignant colonic obstruction was used with the formation of the decompressive colostomy at the first stage, and radical extraction of the tumor with simultaneous removal of the stoma at the second stage.
