Abstract:
Self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) was used for five unresectable patients with malignant colorectal stenosis. The SEMS was successfully inserted under a colonoscopy. The patients were able to maintain bowel activities without any serious complications during the rest of their lives. In conclusion, SEMS placement for malignant colorectal stenosis would be safe and effective.
