Technical and clinical outcomes after colorectal stenting in malignant large bowel obstruction: A single centre experience.

Conclusion: In our experience colorectal stents can be used effectively to manage malignant large bowel obstruction, with only selective endoscopic input. As a bridge to surgery, most patients can avoid emergency surgery and have a primary anastomosis. In the palliative setting, the complication rate is acceptable and two-thirds avoid a permanent stoma. PMID: 32178502 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
