28 sie 2019 · This educational paper reviews the technical features and current indications of colorectal stenting and presents the expected and abnormal radiographic, CT and MRI appearances observed during the endoscopic management of malignant, benign and iatrogenic colonic disorders with stents.
Each company has created stents with several advantages, including radial forces that maintain stent patency and positioning, no or minimal foreshortening on stent deployment, a silicone or polymer stent coating that decreases tissue ingrowth, and improved fluoroscopic visibility for accurate placement.
colorectal cancer (CRC). Although endoscopic colon stenting is widely accepted in palliation, disagreement exists about its role in a curative setting. This study aims to describe long-term survival data in a large patient group treated with colon stenting as a bridge to surgery for CRC.
This topic will review the use of self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) in the management of malignant colonic obstruction. The surgical management of malignant colonic obstruction and colon cancer is discussed separately. (See "Large bowel obstruction".)
15 lut 2019 · Endoscopic colonic stenting has been recognized as a safe and effective means to alleviate acute large bowel obstruction and act as a bridge to curative surgery performed in an elective setting.
Before the development of enteral self-expandable metal stents (SEMS), the only way to restore GI continuity for palliation of malignant GI obstruction of the stomach and duodenum (gastric outlet obstruction) was surgical gastroenteric bypass (most commonly gastrojejunostomy).
