Abstract:
Impaired intestinal passage considerably reduces quality of life irrespective of the underlying condition. Limited life expectancy and increased operative risk of advanced malignant disease add particular weight to this issue. The indication for operative therapy results from carefully weighing individual incapacity and potential gain vs operative risk and life expectancy. Exactly because life expectancy is quite limited, selection of an effective, low-risk procedure is of utmost importance to benefit the patient.
