Abstract
BackgroundThe aim of our study is to evaluate perioperative and mid-term oncologic outcomes of the patients with colorectal cancer, who underwent emergent curative surgery.MethodsThe study included all patients with colorectal cancer, who underwent surgery for curative intent between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2014 in General Surgery Department of Kartal Training and Research Hospital. The patients were divided into two groups according to the type of admission (emergent or elective). The data of the patients were retrospectively collected with chart review. Demographic characteristics of the patients, ASA scores, emergent indications and surgical interventions, postoperative complications, pathological findings, oncological therapy, and follow-up findings were investigated.ResultsFifty-one and 209 patients were evaluated in both groups, respectively. Rate of right sided and sigmoid/recto-sigmoid tumors were significantly higher in emergent group. Ostomy rate, early morbidity, ICU need, transfusion, and mortality rates in emergent group were significantly higher than elective group. Average length of hospital stay in emergent group was also significantly longer in elective group (11.2 ± 3.2 vs. 8.4 ± 2.4 days). The patients in emergent group had a much lower survival rate than those in elective group.ConclusionIn our study, emergency presentation of colorectal cancer was found associated with increased morbidity, a longer length of stay, increased in-hospital mortality, advanced pathologic stage and worsened long term survival in even same stages.

Patients The study included all patients with colorectal cancer, who underwent curative surgery for between 1 January
Twenty-three (31.1%) and 31 (13%) patients were excluded for various reasons in emergent and elective groups, respectively (Fig. 1)
Summary
Colorectal cancers are the third most frequent cancer in the west developed countries They are second cause of death in both men and women (World Cancer Research Fund and American Institute for Cancer Research 2007). It is estimated about 850,000 new cases and 500,000 deaths in worldwide (Ries et al 1975–2005). Preventative measures and early detection programs, about 6–30% of patients with colorectal cancer admit with late complications, which requires emergent interventions.
