Stratification of Postoperative Complications in Patients With Complicated Forms of Colon Cancer Using the Clavien-Dindo Scale

Connection of the publication with planned research works.The study was carried out within the framework of the research of the Department of General Surgery and Postgraduate Surgical Education of ZSMPU "Modification of Surgical Aspects of Treatment of Patients of Different Age Groups in Peace and Wartime", state registration number 0122U201230. Introduction.Colorectal cancer (CRC) occupies one of the leading places in the structure of cancer morbidity and mortality in Ukraine and the world [1,2].In Europe, the incidence of colon cancer is in third place among the most frequently diagnosed malignant neoplasms and occupies the second position in the structure of population mortality from cancer [3,4].In 2019, more than 11 thousand new cases of CRC were registered in Ukraine, with almost half of them already diagnosed with existing complications of the oncological process [5].Treatment of complicated forms of colon cancer is a rather complex problem, which is associated with high levels of perioperative complications and mortality [6,7].To assess complications, surgeons often use different classifications that do not always fully reflect the complexity of the complication and its impact on treatment outcomes in the early postoperative period [8,9].The use of universal complication stratification scales, such as the Clavien-Dindo scale, is an important aspect of assessing the diverse complications that develop in urgent oncosurgery for colon cancer for further understanding of options for prevention or early elimination of these complications.
