[Surgical treatment and prognosis of left obstructive colorectal carcinoma].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of surgical management and prognosis of left obstructive colorectal carcinoma.


METHODS
Clinical data of 109 patients with acute left obstructive colorectal carcinoma treated by emergent operation in Xiangya Hospital from October 2000 to February 2008 were retrospectively analyzed.


RESULTS
All the 109 patients received operation. Of them, 66 patients received one stage tumor resection and intestinal anastomosis. Postoperative complication rate was 26.6%(29/109) and mortality rate was 0.9%(1/109). The postoperative 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 94.4%, 73.3%, and 43.2%, respectively. The 1-,3-,and 5-year survival rates of patients receiving curative resection were 100.0%,93.6%, and 66.7%, respectively. With univariate analysis, radical resection, Dukes stage, tumor differentiation, and chemotherapy were found to be significant factors associating with the overall survival. With multivariate analysis, radical resection independently affected the overall survival.


CONCLUSIONS
One stage radical resection and anastomosis are feasible for left obstructive colorectal carcinoma. Appropriate choice of the operative procedure, skillful operative techniques, and prudential peri-operative treatment can enhance the curative effect and patients quality of life.
