Restoration of passage of large bowel contents in case of tumour-induced obstruction
The paper provides a literature overview and analysis of authors’ experience in endoprosthetic replacement on large bowel in case of tumour-induced obstruction. The authors discuss indications and contraindications for stenting, surgical procedure and its complications, modern types of colorectal stents, and describe results of comparison between the colorectal stenting and colostomy, focusing on the results of six implantations of colorectal stents in five patients suffering from tumour-induced obstruction of large bowel.
