Aims This study aimed to (1) investigate the effectiveness of SEMS insertion for right-sided obstructive colon cancer compared to conventional decompression tube placement and (2) confirm the safety and technical success of SEMS insertion in the right colon compared to left-sided SEMS insertion.
Methods The data from ten patients who underwent SEMS with a new technique for malignant obstruction of ascending colon in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively
Results Technical and clinical success of Rt side colonic obstruction was achieved in all patients of both groups. (cap group: 4/4, papillotome group: 9/9) range 66 to 100 percent.
Other adverse events (such as bleeding and perforation) were not happened. Bowel preparation status in both group were all poor. Expected length of lesion, maximum diameter of small bowel, maximum diameter of large bowel, and distribution of bowel dilatation lTotal procedure time, Intubation time to lesion, total time from cannulation to stent deployment were not statistically different but trials of cannulation in papillotome group was lower than cap goup (1.11 ± 0.25 vs 2.5 ± 0.91, p < 0.001).
Conclusions A new technique of curved type guiding tube with SEMS insertion for right-sided colon, especially distal ascending colon is significantly more effective than straight type guiding tube, and this procedure was safer and less technically challenging than expected. SEMS insertion should be considered for treating right-sided malignant colonic obstruction
