Result: Age in Group A was 39±3.42 yrs. and 40±3.12 yrs. in Group B was comparable (p>0.05; t=1.56; df=68). The sex ratio in Group A was 2.12 and 1.77 was comparable (p>0.05, X2=0.92, df=1). Wound infection were 12% and 20%; Intraabdominal abscess-4% and 16%; wound dehiscence-4% and 16%; Septicemia-4% and 12%; Anastomotic leak and fistula formation- 0% and 8%; Respiratory complications- 4% and 8%; Prolonged ileus- 4% and 8% respectively in Group A and Group B. Overall complications were significantly higher in Group B i.e. 32% as compared to 16% in Group A (Z=2.26, p<0.05) Conclusion: It can be concluded from our study that in the patients with colon injury primary repair was superior as compared to diversion surgeries with respect to less Wound infection, Intraabdominal abscess, wound dehiscence, Septicemia, Anastomotic leak, Respiratory complications.
