Effect of Stent Placement on Short Term Survival of Left Sided Obstructive Colorectal Cancers

Overview

The aim of this observational study is to determine effect of stent placement on survival results in first three years in a patient who applied to the emergency department with obstruction due to colorectal cancer. Eligible patients divided into two groups. Group A includes patients underwent emergency surgery directly. Patients underwent elective surgery following stent placement as bridge-to-surgery. Patients underwent elective surgery following bridge-to-surgery stent placement were accepted as Group B.

Patients who applied to emergency department of a single tertiary referral center between January 2016 and December 2020 and diagnosed as left sided obstructive colorectal cancer were included in this retrospective study. All patients were equal or older than 18 years and histopathologically found to have primary colorectal malignant neoplasms. Patients were excluded from the analysis if they met any of the following criteria: * Who underwent emergency surgery due to unsuccessful stent application intervention or stent-related complications developed, * Those with middle and lower rectum tumors or received neoadjuvant treatment, * Perforation, * Who underwent subtotal or total colectomy (as a result of colon ischemia in the cecum, microperforation, etc.), * Recurrent disease patients * Patients have metastasis
