Postoperative complications in emergency surgery of AOCC were not related to the age, sex and tumor's location. Preoperative PCR values (≥ 2.17) predict the development of postoperative complications. CT resulted a valid diagnostic tool to identify patients at higher risk of complications: a CD/L1-VD ratios with cut-off values of 1.43 (transverse) and 1.31 (descending) predicted major complications (grade ≥ III-V) and a cecum distension ≥ 9 cm represented the critical diameter beyond which perforation occurred in > 84% of patients.
