Aim of the study. To analyze the outcomes of using laparoscopic methods in the treatment of patients with complicated forms of malignant colon diseases.
Materials and Methods. A prospective cohort study included 109 (100 %) patients with complicated forms of colon cancer. 74 (67.89 %) patients had tumor-induced acute intestinal obstruction (AIO); 21 (19.27 %) had tumor perforation; 6 (5.50 %) had acute gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB); 3 (2.75 %) had both AIO and perforation; and 5 (4.59 %) had both AIO and bleeding.
Results. Emergency surgeries were performed in 18 (16.51 %) patients, urgent surgeries in 17 (15.60 %), and delayed surgeries in 74 (67.89 %). Laparoscopic techniques were used in 31 (28.44 %) cases. In 71 (65.13 %) patients, laparotomy was performed. Postoperative complications occurred in 6 (19.35 %) laparoscopic cases, compared to
32 (41.03 %) laparotomy cases (p = 0.0286). Wound complications (seromas, hematomas, infiltrates, infections, dehiscence) were more frequent in the laparotomy group —
17 (21.79 %) vs. 1 (3.23 %) in the laparoscopic group (p = 0.0083). Mortality was
5 (16.13 %) in the laparoscopic group and 18 (23.08 %) in the laparotomy group
(p = 0.3781). Average hospital stay: 10.00 (8.00; 13.00) days for laparoscopy vs.
19.00 (13.00; 27.00) days for laparotomy (p = 0.0011).
Conclusions. Laparoscopic surgery methods can be applied in treating all types of complicated colon cancer. This type of surgery reduces postoperative complications and hospital stay in research group.
