Abstract:
Surgery for obstructive colon cancer was highly invasive due to poor nutritional status of patients, risk of emergency surgery, and unavoidable colostomy formerly. However, recently, we have been able to perform laparoscopic elective surgery safely without colostomy, by using self-expanding metallic stents(SEMS). Laparoscopic colectomy for transverse colon cancer is inherently very difficult because of variations in the vascular system, small number of patients, and absence of large, randomized trials. Laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision(CME)for colectomy has been shown to be technically feasible and effective. We report the treatment strategy for obstructive transverse colon cancer which involves laparoscopic transverse colectomy by cranialapproach preceding medialapproach after successfuldecompression by stenting, along with a review of relevant literature. We consider it a s minimally invasive treatment for obstructive transverse colon cancer.
