Why the study?
The study was conducted to assess the outcomes of single-stage surgery following fluoroscopic stent placement for malignant colorectal obstruction.
Does fluoroscopic stent placement as a bridge to surgery improve outcomes in patients with malignant colorectal obstruction?
Does fluoroscopic stent placement as a bridge to surgery improve outcomes in patients with malignant colorectal obstruction?
Single-stage surgery following fluoroscopic stent placement is effective for malignant colorectal obstruction, though stent-related perforation predicts tumor recurrence.
Stent perforation signals higher recurrence risk after bridge-to-surgery stenting; leaves open optimal patient selection in malignant obstruction.
Purpose: To assess the outcomes of single-stage surgery following fluoroscopic stent placement for malignant colorectal obstruction. Materials and Methods: = 15) for malignant colorectal obstruction. The surgical outcomes were analyzed and compared. After a mean follow-up of 38.9 months, the recurrence-free and overall survival were estimated, and prognostic factors were evaluated. Results: = 0.010). Conclusion: Single-stage surgery following fluoroscopic stent placement may be effective for treating malignant colorectal obstruction. Stent-related bowel perforation is a significant predictive factor for tumor recurrence.
