Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Intestinal stenting is increasingly utilized for unresectable intestinal obstruction.
  • It presents a safe and effective alternative to traditional surgical interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of intestinal stenting in managing colorectal obstruction.
  • To assess its role in avoiding emergency laparotomy and multi-stage resections.

Main Methods:

  • One-step stent insertion during diagnostic endoscopy.
  • Assessment of stent placement as part of a palliative strategy when curative treatment is not feasible.

Main Results:

  • Intestinal stenting is a relatively safe procedure for colorectal obstruction.

  • It effectively avoids the need for high-risk emergency laparotomy and resection.
  • The procedure is cost-effective by preventing emergency surgeries and unnecessary colon resections.

    • Conclusions:

    • Intestinal stenting is a valuable palliative strategy for unresectable intestinal obstruction.
    • It offers a safe, effective, and cost-efficient alternative to emergency surgery.
    • This approach can significantly improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
