The causes of intestinal obstruction are diverse with tissue adhesion, incarcerated hernia, and large bowel neoplasm being the most common causes. Cancer is not easy to diagnose in patients with a history of intestinal obstruction after the intraperitoneal operation following blunt trauma. Herein, we report the case of a patient who was diagnosed with colon cancer after undergoing adhesiolysis due to intestinal obstruction.

Background: Acute intestinal obstruction is one of the most common emergencies encountered by the general surgeon in routine practice. Although historically, obstructed hernia has been the most common cause, recent studies have shown that adhesive intestinal obstruction is now the commonest reason. Malignant bowel obstruction is also on the rise especially with the change in dietary habits. This study aims at identifying the proportion of colonic carcinoma in cases presenting with acute intestinal obstruction.Methods: The patients with acute intestinal obstruction which was diagnosed clinically and radiologically were studied. Based on operative and clinical findings along with investigation results, the etiology was identified. The patients having colonic neoplasms were identified and the data was compared with other etiological factors to find out the proportion of colonic carcinoma in the cases.Results: The proportion of colon cancer in patients presenting with acute intestinal obstruction was around 15%. The most common cause was obstructed hernia followed by post-operative adhesions. Males were more commonly affected than females. Most of the cases underwent operative management. The most common age group affected was around 50-60 years.Conclusions: This study confirms that there is a definite rise in the number of cases of colon cancer presenting as acute intestinal obstruction. There is also a skewing of the age at presentation towards younger age groups. Small bowel obstructions were much more common mainly due to adhesions and obstructed herniae.

The increase in the incidence of colorectal cancer cannot go unnoticed. The number of patients with its complications in general surgical hospitals is growing steadily. The main ones include acute intestinal obstruction, bleeding, tumor destruction with paracancerous abscess formation or perforation. This limits the possibilities of carrying out the radical treatment of oncoproctological patients significantly, and reduces the number of resection interventions considerably. The incidence of postoperative complications in emergency patients is statistically higher than after elective surgeries. The most fatal is the failure of the enterocolonic anastomosis, usually requiring relaparotomy and often colostomy. With regional tumors, combined interventions are necessary, a prerequisite for which is the availability of trained specialists. The article presents a clinical case of performing a major surgery with a positive outcome for complicated colon cancer in a hospital on duty.

488 Background: There is still no effective treatment for the majority of patients suffering from peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) of colon cancer. Palliative chemotherapy (CHEM) had limited efficacy. Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic chemoperfusion (HIPEC) showed promising results, but was manageable in early stage PC patients only. Catumaxomab therapy (CATU) offers a new option for intraperitoneal treatment in all stages of PC. Aim of the study was to evaluate CATU therapy in comparison to HIPEC and systemic therapy. Methods: Between 2005 and 2008, 76 patients suffering from PC of colon cancer were included and treated with systemic chemotherapy alone (35), HIPEC +/- systemic chemotherapy (21) and CATU +/- chemotherapy (22). All patients were assessed for therapy-related severe side effects, incidence of intestinal obstruction-ileus and ascites and for overall survival. Results: Grade IV side effects were observed in 9.1% of CATU patients, 14.3% after HIPEC and 5.7% after CHEM. Ascites was found in not a single patient after CATU vs. one patient after HIPEC (4.5%) and 7 patients after chemotherapy (20%, p<0.03). Intestinal obstruction was found in 22.7% of patients after CATU vs. 14.3% after HIPEC and in 42.9% of patients after chemotherapy (p<0.04). In comparison to systemic chemotherapy, overall survival was significantly increased after CATU (15.2 months, p=0.03) and HIPEC (20.1 months, p=0.02; median follow-up 17 months). Conclusions: Catumaxomab therapy of patients with PC from colon cancer was associated with a preventive effect for accumulation of malignant ascites and intestinal obstruction. Patients receiving CATU or HIPEC therapy concepts showed a survival benefit compared to systemic chemotherapy alone. Therapy strategies containing intraperitoneal catumaxomab treatment may be beneficial in patients with PC from colon cancer, even in advanced PC disease, when HIPEC was not feasible.
