Brief summary
The study evaluates and compares effect of emergency surgery and colonic stents for treatment of malignant colonic obstructions.
Detailed description
Acute colonic obstruction is one of the common clinical presentations of colorectal cancer. Surgical decompression with colostomy with or without resection and eventual re-anastomosis is the treatment of choice; however, emergency surgery is associated with higher morbidity and mortality. The colonic stent insertion effectively decompressed the obstructed colon and avoid needs of emergency surgery. This method is a palliation and bridge to surgery. Colonic stents allowed surgery to be performed electively.
Interventions
Surgical decompression with colostomy with or without resection and eventual re-anastomosis.
The colonic stent placement to relieve the colonic obstruction.
