Key Words Self-expandable metal stents; Palliative surgery; Incurable malignant colorectal obstruction; Large-bowel obstruction; Treatment outcomes
Core Tip This meta-analysis demonstrates the advantages of self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) placement as palliative therapy for incurable malignant colorectal obstructions. Specifically, when compared to the outcomes of surgical treatment, the SEMS treatment is associated with shorter hospital stay and interval to chemotherapy initiation, as well as lower early morbidity and 30-d mortality rates. These advantageous features may surmount the overall lower rate of palliative efficacy when considering treatment options for cases with extensive metastatic disease or severe comorbid medical illness that disqualify a patient from operative candidacy; regardless, SEMS application should be performed as an alternative to surgery with caution.
