Unlabelled:
The expandable metallic stent (EMS) have been used to treat obstructive colorectal cancer. We used EMS in 13 out of 14 cases of obstructive colorectal carcinoma patients (insertion rate 93%). Of these 13 cases, 6 cases were male patients, and 7 cases were female patients. The average age was 69.1-years-old (44-87). The placement of insertion part in rectum and sigmoid colon was 8 cases and 5 cases, respectively. We detained Ultraflex non-covered type for all patients. Seven patients were able to have an operation after stenting. After the stent treatment, 11 patients were able to eat, and 7 patients were discharged from hospital.
Complications:
perforation and stent migration were occurred in one case. These results suggested that EMS might be an effective treatment for obstructive colorectal carcinoma.
