Purpose: The objective of the present study was to analyze the early results from the surgical treatment of locally advanced carcinoma of the colon in its transverse section and the two flexures.
Material and methods: The study covered 36 patients with locally advanced colonic carcinoma, 19 males and 17 females at a mean age of 65,6 years, treated in the Clinic of Liver, Biliary, Pancreatic and General Surgery, Tokuda Hospital of Sofia during the period from January 2007 to March 2013. Any necessary diagnostic and surgical methods were applied.
Results: Multivisceral resections were commonly performed in order to achieve a radical surgery in cases of locally advanced disease. Great surgeon`s experience in liver, biliary and pancreatic interventions is obligatorily required. In this paper we share our experience in the treatment of this disease for a period of 6 years.
Conclusion: Our application of the multivisceral resections results in surgical radicality along with acceptable levels of perioperative morbidity and mortality rates when compared to other studies in in the foreign literature available.
