Abstract		In the period 1980 to 1989, 432 patients with colorectal carcinoma were operated upon at the Celje General Hospital. Among them, in 285 (66 per cent ) of the patients radical operation was performed, 147 (34 per cent ) patients underwent palliative operations. Dukes' classification of tumor was being determined in 315 patients, i. e. in 72. 9 per cent of the cases. Postoperative death rate among urgent operations (ileus, perforation, bleeding) was 43.6 per cent . Among elective radical operations, postoperative death rate was 13.3 per cent . Average age of the patients was 65.2 years. In the present article, the forms of operations and causes of postoperative death are described. The author emphasises importance of adjuvant postoperative radio and chemotherapy and the monitoring of carcinoembrionic antigen.
