Core Tip	Despite the accumulation of data on stent insertion, the choice of stent or surgery as the most appropriate modality in the management of colorectal obstruction presents a constant decision dilemma. When cure is possible we want that, but with minimal morbidity. In a group of patients who are prone to higher rates of morbidity and mortality, this can be problematic and full of uncertainty. This review takes an approach to review the primary and secondary outcomes established in the literature regarding the use of stent or surgery in colorectal obstruction, and then create discourse and a structured approach in regards to synthesising the data and applying it when deciding the appropriate application of stent or surgery in colorectal obstruction.
