Article Synopsis
- * A rare case involved a laceration of the posterior tracheal membrane, causing a passage that trapped air in the gastrointestinal tract and allowed reflux into the tracheobronchial tree.
- * Traditional treatments were ineffective, and immediate surgery wasn’t possible due to the patient's unstable condition, but using a Sengstaken-Blackmore tube successfully managed the situation.
Objective: Colon cancer patients presented with obstruction were known to have worse postoperative morbidity and mortality rates, but conflicting data has been reported in recent years. We aimed to investigate postoperative complication rates, and short and long-term oncological outcomes in patients with colon cancer treated with either emergency surgery due to obstruction or elective surgery.
Methods: Two hundred fifty two patients were analyzed.
