ObjectiveTo evaluate the significance and effect for surgery of Dukes D stage colorectal carcinoma. MethodsEightytwo cases of Dukes D stage colorectal carcinoma who underwent surgery from 1991 to 1998 were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsTwentyone patients experienced extended resections,29 patients palliative resection, 19 patients sideside anastomosis and 13 patients laparotomy and biopsy of the tumor. Patients with extended resections had significantly long survival time, quality of life in these patients were excellent in 71.4%, good in 23.8%, and fair in 4.8%; whereas quality of life in the group with palliative resections were excellent in 62.1%, good in 17.2%, fair in 13.8%, and poor in 6.9%. The other two groups had a bad postoperative effect, short survival time and poor quality of life.
