Key result
Urgent colorectal cancer surgery is linked to higher complication rates and more metastatic lymph nodes.
Why the study?
About one-third of colorectal cancer surgeries are performed as urgent surgery, but comparative data between urgent and elective surgeries are limited.
Does urgent colorectal cancer surgery compared to elective surgery affect complication rates and oncological outcomes in patients with colorectal cancer?
Cohort (n=160)
No
Does urgent colorectal cancer surgery compared to elective surgery affect complication rates and oncological outcomes in patients with colorectal cancer?
Urgent colorectal cancer surgery is associated with higher complication rates and more metastatic lymph nodes compared to elective surgery, but yields similar total harvested lymph nodes.

Urgent colorectal cancer resections warrant heightened perioperative vigilance; leaves open whether optimized pathways reduce metastatic nodal burden in prospective cohorts.
INTRODUCTION: About one-third of colorectal cancer surgery are performed as urgent surgery. This retrospective study aims to compare urgent surgery with patients those performed elective colorectal cancer surgery. Matherials and Methods: One hundred and sixty patients data those performed colorectal cancer surgery were analysed retrospectively. Patients were divided into two group; urgent surgery group (n=29) and elective surgery group (n=131). Demographics and clinicopathological features of the groups were compared. RESULTS: There were no significant difference between groups in terms of age,blood transfusion requirement, additional surgical intervetion. Urgent surgery was performed more frequently in male patients .Urgent surgery has higher complication rates but no significant difference were observed in length of hospital stay. Total harvested lymph node number were similar between groups but in urgent surgery group metastatic lymph node number was significantly higher. CONCLUSION: Urgent colorectal resections for colorectal cancers can be performed with regarding the oncological principles.

Ocak et al. (2021) conducted a cohort in Colorectal cancer (n=160). Urgent surgery vs. Elective surgery was evaluated on Complication rates, length of hospital stay, and lymph node harvest. Urgent colorectal cancer surgery had higher complication rates and more metastatic lymph nodes compared to elective surgery, with no significant difference in length of hospital stay.
