[Endoscopic metallic stent followed by elective laparoscopic surgery for malignant colorectal obstruction].

Objective: To investigate the feasibility of endoscopic metallic stent as a bridge to elective laparoscopic surgery in patients with malignant colorectal obstruction.

Methods: Clinical data of 63 patients with obstructive colorectal cancer who underwent endoscopic metallic stent insertion under radiologic monitoring at the Longyan First Hospital between June 2012 and August 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. After complete remission of the obstruction, all the patients received multi-disciplinary team (MDT) evaluation to make the further treatment strategy.
