To evaluate one-stage resection following decompression for obstructive colorectal carcinoma. Patients: Seven patients with obstructive colorectal carcinoma underwent resection following decompression were enrolled in this study. Preoperative intestinal decompression was performed with a transanal tube. Results: Curative elective one-stage resection was achieved in 7 patients. The frequency of lymph node metastase was 57.1%. No leakage occurred in any of the patients who underwent one-stage anastomosis following decompression. One Patient had local recurrence. Conclusion: Decompression with a transanal tube may be useful for one-stage resection in patients with obstructive colorectal carcinoma.
