THE MARK OF THE DURATION OF SURGERY ON THE POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS IN PATIENTS WITH COMPLICATED COLON CANCER
Abstract
Postoperative complications are common in patients with complicated colon cancers operated in Emergency. Most complications are those of the sound (suppurations, hematoma, dehiscence), postoperative ileus, anastomotic fistula. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of the duration of the surgery on the postoperative complications in patients with complicated colon tumors, operated in emergency. We made a retrospective study on 451 patients treated for complicated colon cancers in the surgery clinics I and II of the Clinical Emergency County Hospital Galați between 2008 and 2017. In this study, we found all the 3 types of complications of colon tumors, but the most common was the intestinal obstruction. The operations varied from colostomies to subtotal and total colectomies. Most complications occured on the postoperatory days 4-8. The statistical analysis that we made revealed important statistical significance in the correlation of the postoperative complications and the duration of the surgical intervention (p value less than 0,001).The emergency colon cancer surgery has a high rate of postoperative complications, of which the most common are cardio-respiratory, parietal and fistulous. Their occurrence is directly influenced by the duration of the surgery.
