Indications and results of endoscopic rectal stenting

Palliative stent implantation in the treatment of malignant colorectal obstruction

“…A further problem, reobstruction, occurred with a frequency similar to that reported in the literature, namely in 10% to 20% of patients [19,30], after the stent had been in situ for a median period of 251 days. One of these cases (2.1%) resulted from tumor overgrowth.…”

“…Colorectal or tumor perforations with a reported frequency of 2% to 4% [10,30] were not observed, neither at the time of the SEMS implantation nor through the long-term follow-up period. In addition, there was no procedure-associated mortality.…”

“…The median survival time after discovery of the diagnosis was 309 days, reflecting a range comparable to that of surgical interventions with palliative intention [2,30].…”

Rectal Cancer Treatment in the Elderly

“…In a non-randomised prospective study a SEMS was successfully placed in 38/40 patients, with a re-intervention rate of 19 % [ 120 ]. Compared with the complication rate of 32 % in those patients treated with surgery a SEMS can be considered as a good alternative to surgery.…”

Colorectal stenting in cancer patients

“…Однако по мере увеличения мирового опыта стало ясно, что, являясь паллиативным методом лечения тяжелой категории больных, воздействующим преци-зионно на весьма измененную стенку кишки, стенти-рование таит в себе опасность развития серьезных осложнений, которые делятся на ранние (развившие-ся в течение 30 сут после установки стента) и поздние (развившиеся в сроки, превышающие 30 сут после стентирования) [16,[31][32][33][34][35][36]. К ранним осложнениям относятся перфорация ТК, кровотечение, миграция и смещение стента, болевой синдром и тенезмы.…”
