Abstract

ABSTRACT

Acute gastric or intestinal obstruction requires urgent treatment. Self-expanding metallic stents offer a nonsurgical therapeutic alternative with a high success rate and low morbidity. The clinical success rates of metallic stents in the palliation of obstruction of the gastric outlet or duodenum range from 80 to 100%. The preoperative treatment of colorectal obstruction successfully relieves acute symptoms in 87 to 100% of patients and allows elective resection with primary anastomosis. Single-stage surgery combined with a reduced need for intensive care lowers the cost of treatment by approximately 25%.
