Short-Term Outcomes of Colorectal Stenting Using a Low Axial Force Self-Expandable Metal Stent for Malignant Colorectal Obstruction: A Japanese Multicenter Prospective Study.

(1) Background: Endoscopic colorectal stenting with high technical success and safety is essential in discussing the oncological outcomes for the management of malignant colorectal obstruction. Mechanical properties of self-expandable metal stents are usually considered to affect clinical outcomes. (2) Methods: A multicenter, prospective study was conducted in Japan.

Self-expandable metallic stenting as a bridge to surgery for malignant colorectal obstruction: pooled analysis of 426 patients from two prospective multicenter series.

Background: Self-expandable metallic stenting (SEMS) for malignant colorectal obstruction (MCO) as a bridge to elective surgery (BTS) is a widely used procedure. The aim of this study was to assess short-term outcomes of SEMS for MCO as BTS.

Methods: This study analyzed pooled data from BTS patients who were enrolled in two multicenter prospective single-arm observational clinical studies that used different stent types.

[Outcomes of laparoscopic surgery after preoperative metallic stent placement for obstructive colorectal cancer].

Aim: To assess the outcomes of preoperative colonic stent placement for obstructive colorectal cancer.

Patients And Methods: A total of 30 patients with colorectal cancer were treated after preoperative colonic metallic stent placement between July 2012 and March 2014. We reviewed their medical records to assess the usefulness of stent placement and the clinical course.
