Core Tip	The aim of this review is to collect and to analyze the most important articles about self-expanding metallic stent (SEMS) as bridge to surgery (BTS) published after the 2020. Both the short-term and long-term outcomes were analyzed, focusing on the possible role of stent-related microperforations in worsening the disease-free and the overall survival. So, what do we know about SEMS as BTS in 2022? Despite the growing number of studies published in the last years, because of conflicting data, the use of SEMS as BTS is not considered as the gold standard in left-sided colorectal cancer obstruction. The publication of new meta-analysis, randomized studies and updated reviews should help to collect more and more specific and correct data, in order to draw up new international guidelines and a shared treatment flow-chart.
