- The study reviewed cases of Toxic Megacolon (TM) treated at a single center from 1985 to 2020, focusing on surgical timing and techniques.
- Key diagnostic criteria, including Narabayashi's guidelines and SIRS, were validated, revealing that many patients met these indicators for toxemia and sepsis.
- Results showed a high mortality rate (50%) for patients with intestinal perforation, emphasizing the need for early recognition and surgical intervention in TM cases.
Background/aim: Self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement is becoming the standard bridge-to-surgery (BTS) strategy for potentially curable left-sided obstructive colorectal cancer (OCRC). The study objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of SEMS placement as a BTS strategy for both right- and left-sided OCRC.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively compared the short- and long-term outcomes of patients with OCRC who underwent placement of a SEMS versus a trans-nasal/anal decompression tube (DCT).
