A total of 232 patients with obturation neoplastic ileus of the colon are operated over a 12-year period (1979-1990). Colorectal carcinoma is the underlying cause of the development of obturation colonic impatency. Of the total of 654 patients with carcinoma of the colon and rectum operated on obturation colonic ileus is diagnosed in 232 cases (35.47 per cent). There is a tendency of the morbidity rate of obturation colonic ileus to increase during the observation period, rather markedly expressed in rectal carcinoma cases. In 160 patients (68.97 per cent) the neoplasm is located in the colon, and in seventy-two (31.03 per cent)--in the rectum. The morbidity rate recorded in men and among the urban population is higher. Obturation colonic impatency of a neoplastic origin is taken to be a pathological condition of advanced age. The mean age in men is 57.9 years, and in women--57.7 years.
