Abstract Background Histopathology is a crucial part of diagnosis and treatment guidance of colorectal cancer. In Denmark, it is not routine to biopsy during self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement as a treatment option for acute colorectal obstruction of unknown etiology. This is due to lack of knowledge about the risks of hemorrhage, and thus the risk to aggravate the deteriorating overview conditions. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate whether there is evidence to avoid biopsy sampling during acute SEMS placement. Methods The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for relevant studies. Studies were included if they described biopsy sampling in relation to SEMS placement. Additionally, national and international guidelines were scrutinized on Google and by visiting the websites of national and international gastrointestinal societies. Results In total, 43 studies were included in the review. Among these, one recommended biopsy during SEMS placement, three advised against biopsy, 23 just reported biopsy was performed during the procedure, and 16 reported biopsy before or after the procedure, or the timing was not specified. Among the 12 included guidelines, only two described biopsy during SEMS placement. Conclusion The literature on the subject is limited. In 24 of the 43 included studies, biopsy sampling was done during SEMS placement without reporting a decrease in the technical success rate. The included guidelines were characterized by a general lack of description of whether biopsy during SEMS placement should be performed or not. Prospective studies are needed in order to establish the real risk of hemorrhage, if any, when a biopsy is obtained.

AbstractAcute colorectal obstruction has been often reported as a secondary outcome of left-colonic malignancy. It is considered as a common emergency condition. Self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement is widely used as a palliative treatment for the management of malignant colorectal obstruction (MCRO). SEMS placement is also deliberated as a bridge to surgery. With advances in technology, several recent studies of SEMS placement for MCRO indicated high technical (94–98%) and clinical (91–93%) success rates. The complication rate associated with SEMS is quite acceptable. However, long-term outcomes are still unclear. The symptoms should be carefully monitored before application of SEMS, particularly in patients who are eligible for systemic chemotherapy and in patients with a long life expectancy because of late complications such as reobstruction, stent migration, and perforation. Appropriate patient selection and placement technique are keys for the successful implementation of SEMS.

Good Treatment Option

Self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement has been practiced in several hospitals in Japan, including ours, since January 2012. Here, we report the case of an 82-year-old Japanese man who presented to the hospital with a 1-week history of right hypochondrial pain. Computed tomography (CT) findings indicated colorectal cancer. The laboratory findings on admission indicated severe anemia (red blood cell count, 426 × 104/μL; hemoglobin, 7.9 g/dL). We performed SEMS placement because the patient refused to undergo surgery. He did not attend any of the scheduled follow-up visits after SEMS placement. However, a year and a half after the SEMS placement, the patient attended the hospital because of difficulty in passing stool. A plain abdominal CT scan showed bowel reobstruction due to the ascending colon cancer after SEMS placement. We performed an emergency operation, ascending colostomy, on the same day. Colorectal stent placement may be a good treatment option for patients who refuse to undergo conventional therapeutic treatments or in those with unresectable colorectal cancer. Patients should be carefully followed up every few months after SEMS placement because of the risk of reocclusion.

Abstract Background Approximately 20% of colorectal cancer patients show complete or incomplete bowel obstruction as an early symptom. Preoperative nonsurgical decompression such as placing a self-expanding metallic stent for malignant colorectal obstruction has been shown to be effective for reducing perioperative morbidity and mortality. However, there is a lack of published studies reporting robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) after self-expanding metallic stent (SEMS) placement for malignant rectal obstruction (MRO). To our knowledge, this is the first report to do so. Case presentation An 80-year-old man with incomplete paralysis of the lower limbs as well as bladder–rectal disorder due to a spine fracture sustained in a fall accident 26 years ago presented with lower abdominal pain and vomiting. Abdominal multi-detector computed tomography revealed an obstructive rectal tumor with distended bowel on the oral side. Emergency colonoscopy was performed, and an SEMS placed. The patency of SEMS and decompression of the distended bowel was confirmed, and elective RALS was performed 29 days after SEMS placement. To our knowledge, this is the first report of RALS after decompression with SEMS placement for MRO. Conclusions RALS after SEMS placement is a safe and feasible therapeutic strategy for MRO.

Abstract Background and aim To assess the rate of adverse events and the technical success rate of biliary stenting with or without EBS.  Methods A literature search up to February 2017 was performed. Studies assessing adverse events (AEs) and technical success rates of stenting with or without EBS were considered. Results Seven studies (870 patients; 12 treatment arms) were included. Early AEs, i. e. those occurring within 30 days, were significantly lower in no-EBS vs. EBS-group (11 % vs. 20.1 %; OR: 0.36, 95 %CI: 0.13 – 1.00). Rates of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis were not significantly different in the two groups (no-EBS vs. EBS: 6.1 % vs 5 %; OR: 1.33, 95 %CI: 0.68 – 2.59). The rate of bleeding was significantly lower in patients without EBS (no-EBS vs EBS: 0 % vs 5 %; OR: 0.12, 95 % CI: 0.03 – 0.45). Rates of cholangitis were significantly lower in patients without EBS (no-EBS vs. EBS: 3.3 % vs. 7.4 %; OR: 0.38, 95 %CI: 0.17 – 0.83). Both late AEs and mortality rates did not significantly differ between no-EBS and EBS patients (19.9 % vs. 18.9 %; OR: 0.93, 95 %CI: 0.56 – 1.53, and 2.5 % vs. 2.9 %; OR: 1.18, 95 %CI: 0.22 – 6.29, respectively). The technical success rate for stent insertion also did not differ (98 % vs. 97.6 %; OR: 1.05, 95 %CI: 0.42 – 2.63). Conclusion EBS seems to be associated, in the first 30 days after the procedure, with an increased risk of cholangitis and bleeding. No difference was observed in the rate of post-ERCP pancreatitis.

88 Background: Self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement is widely used for relieving the obstructive symptoms of malignant gastric outlet obstruction (MGOO). The aims were to evaluate the efficacy and safety of multiple gastroduodenal stent placement by stent in stent technique and identify predictive factors about stent patency. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 170 patients with GOO receiving SEMS by stent in stent technique from July 2006 to July 2018. Among them, 90 patients had been treated with gastroduodenal SEMS placement for MGOO. Technical and clinical success rates were evaluated. And, clinical outcomes with predictors of stent patency were also analyzed. Results: Among the subjects, 34.4% were treated with secondary SEMS placement, and 9.7% were treated with third SEMS placement because of the previous stent dysfunction. The median stent patency time was 15.7 weeks (range 0-89) in the first SEMS, 10.4 weeks (range 0-44) in the second SEMS, and 11.3 weeks (range 1-29) in the third SEMS. The technical and clinical success rate were 100% and 97.8% in the first SEMS, 100% and 90.3% in the second SEMS, 100% and 100% in the third SEMS. In multivariable analysis, the first SEMS placement of covered type including Comvi stent was correlated with prolonged stent patency (OR 4.549, P = 0.001). And both chemotherapy after the first SEMS placement (OR 8.248, P = 0.006) and chemotherapy after the second SEMS placement (OR 7.467, P = 0.003) were correlated with prolonged stent patency. Serious complications such as gastrointestinal hemorrhage or perforation did not occur in any patient. Conclusions: Secondary and third gastroduodenal SEMS placement by stent in stent technique is a safe and effective treatment for the first stent dysfunction in MGOO. The stent placement of covered type and chemotherapy after stent placement is the predictor of stent patency.
