Perforated Left Colon Tumors: A Series of 5 Cases

Perforation of left colon tumors is a rare complication of colon tumors; it is a surgical emergency because it leads to fecal peritonitis, which can be fatal, hence the importance of immediate treatment. We conducted a retrospective study at the general surgery department of Mohammed VI University Hospital in Marrakech, focusing on 5 cases (n=5) of perforated left colon tumors. In this series of cases, we studied the characteristics and surgical strategy for left colon tumors with perforation. with the goal of demonstrating the importance of rapid and multidisciplinary care.
