Background And Aims: Self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) are effective in alleviating malignant colorectal obstruction. However, bowel perforation following SEMS placement remains a significant concern, as it can adversely affect oncological outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the recurrence and overall survival rates associated with SEMS-related bowel perforations.

An a (AEF) is a rare but life-threatening condition where an abnormal connection forms between the aorta and the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly the duodenum. It can be primary (arising spontaneously due to an aortic aneurysm or infection) or secondary (complicating prior vascular surgery). Immediate recognition and surgical intervention are critical to manage severe gastrointestinal bleeding and prevent fatal outcomes.

Background: Left colon cancer obstruction treatment is a debated topic in the literature. Stent placement is effective as a bridge-to-surgery strategy, but there are some concerns about the oncological safety for the reported higher risk of local and peritoneal recurrence. This study aims to compare the surgical and oncological outcomes of patients treated with stent followed by elective surgery with those treated with primary resection.

Article Synopsis
  • There is evidence suggesting that using stents or decompressing stomas before surgery for left-sided obstructive colon cancer (LSOCC) is safer than emergency surgery, particularly for patients aged 70 and older.
  • A study analyzing data from 2012 to 2020 showed a decrease in emergency resections, from 79.7% to 54.7%, with an increase in safer approaches like resection after stent or stoma.
  • Despite a national trend towards safer surgical methods, some hospitals still performed over 75% emergency resections, leading to higher mortality rates, emphasizing the need to follow updated guidelines for elderly patients.
