Acute colonic obstruction is a life threatening emergency. In this prospective study 69 patients suffering from large bowel obstruction, admitted between November 1993 and March 1998 to the University hospital of Bern, were analyzed with regard of the performed surgical procedure. The causes of obstruction were colorectal carcinomas (38%), other malignancies (19%), volvulus (13%), hernias (10%), diverticulitis (7%) and others (13%), 8 benign and 19 malignant lesions were surgically treated without colonic resection, the latter by colostomy (13), ileostomy (5) or bypass (1). All the other 42 patients had their obstruction resected within 24 hours after admission, 24 of them with primary anastomosis and 18 as a two-staged procedure. However, 9/18 (50%) patients never have had restoration of bowel continuity. No three-stage procedure was planned or performed. In-hospital mortality was 4/69 (5.8%), all of them after staged resections due to non-surgical complications. No anastomotic leakage was clinically apparent, neither in one-stage procedures, nor in completed two-stage procedures. Median length of total hospital stay in one-stage and two-stage procedures was 14 and 30 days, respectively. The advantages of one-stage procedures, especially in terms of subtotal colectomy, are discussed on the basis of an overview of the literature.
