Should we still doubt the success of emergency oncologic colorectal surgery?: A retrospective study.

CONCLUSION: Despite the appropriate oncologic resection, CRC patients operated under emergency conditions had worse short-term and long-term results than the CRC patients operated under elective conditions. Thus, we believe that the prevalence of colorectal cancer screening programs should be increased to reduce the rate of emergency surgery. PMID: 31942728 [PubMed - in process]
