Abstract:
Malignant Small Bowel Obstruction (MSBO) is a debilitating complication of intra-abdominal malignancies, characterized by symptoms such as intractable nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Surgical intervention may become necessary for symptom management if conservative measures fail, although it carries a significant risk of postoperative morbidity. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided enterocolostomy is an emerging alternative for palliative management of MSBO when other surgical or endoscopic interventions are not feasible or have failed. We present a case of a 50-year-old woman with MSBO secondary to metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of cervix who required the placement of a luminal colonic stent in the sigmoid colon before undergoing endoscopic ultrasound-guided enterocolostomy.

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...
