Core Tip	We present 3 cases of malignant small bowel obstruction, treated with palliative care using endoscopic self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement, and have identified that the procedure is safe and effective. Two patients were treated using the through-the-overtube technique, while the remaining case was the first case of SEMS placement in a malignant distal small bowel obstruction.
