Core Tip	Although colonic stents have been used for years to treat acute malignant colonic obstructions, current evidence based on the systematic review and randomised controlled trials do raise concerns about its impact on the long term outcomes. Its use has not been recommended in acute suspected malignant colonic obstruction as a bridge to surgery due to evidence of its impact on recurrence rates; however there is enough evidence to suggest its use as a palliation. In patients with multiple co-morbidities with high American Society of Anaesthesiologists grades, colonic stent may be considered as an alternative option to emergency surgical procedure as a bridge.
