Brief Title: Emergency Surgery Versus Colorectal Stents for the Management of Malignant Colonic Obstructions
Official Title: Emergency Surgery Versus Colorectal Stents for the Management of Malignant Colonic Obstructions: a Prospective Cohort Study
Study ID: NCT04449822
Brief Summary: The study evaluates and compares effect of emergency surgery and colonic stents for treatment of malignant colonic obstructions.
Detailed Description: Acute colonic obstruction is one of the common clinical presentations of colorectal cancer. Surgical decompression with colostomy with or without resection and eventual re-anastomosis is the treatment of choice; however, emergency surgery is associated with higher morbidity and mortality. The colonic stent insertion effectively decompressed the obstructed colon and avoid needs of emergency surgery. This method is a palliation and bridge to surgery. Colonic stents allowed surgery to be performed electively.
