No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Objective: Whether temporary endoscopic decompression by Self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) could allow these patients to undergo successful laparoscopic resection (endo-laparoscopic approach) has never been previously studied. This randomized trial aims to compare this approach with emergency open surgery in the management of obstructing left-sided colon cancer.
