Abstract:
We present the case of a 70-year-old patient of Caucasian origin under palliative chemotherapy for metastasized colorectal cancer, who presented with signs of complete small bowel obstruction six months after placement of a diverting ileostomy. Following previous tumor perforation, he was not considered a candidate for further surgical intervention.Thus, endoscopic ultrasound-guided enterocolostomy (i.e., ileosigmoidostomy) with a lumen-apposing metal stent was successfully performed in a coloenteric approach to restore the passage.Oral nutrition could be resumed the next day, and the patient could be discharged in substantially improved condition after three days.
