[Intestinal obstruction in disseminated malignant tumors of the female genitalia: the surgical procedure and combined operations].

Results of surgical treatment of 103 patients are presented who had spread malignant tumors of the female genitalia with the involvement of different segments of the intestine and urinary tract, and damaged intestinal passage. Combined operations were performed on 57 patients (55.3%), palliative--46 patients (44.7%) 54 patients were operated on urgently. For the last 10 years resectability has been increased 8.5 times owing to active surgical policy. Immediate lethality after combined operations was 10.5%. Cumulative indices of 3- and 5-year survival were 66% and 53.3% respectively. Lethality and 5-year survival after palliative operations were 30.4% and 13.8% respectively. Combined operations for cancer of female genitalia (both primary and recurrent ones and metastases) are quite reasonable in order to provide the optimum volume of cytoreduction and perform chemo- and radiation treatment.
