  • Title: [Alleviation of inoperable malignant colon stenosis using endoscopic placement of an endoprosthesis].
    Author: Groot IE, Jaspers MM, Eeftinck Schattenkerk M.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 1997 Sep 27; 141(39):1863-7. PubMed ID: 9545745.
    Abstract:
    Treatment modalities for patients with an obstruction due to an irresectable malignant stenosis of the colon are: a palliative colostomy proximal of the obstruction, radiotherapy, laser therapy, cryosurgery, and photodynamic therapy. In 4 patients, 3 men and 1 woman of 70, 66, 74, and 38 years respectively with obstruction ileus caused by an irresectable distal colonic carcinoma, a self-expanding wallstent was successfully placed endoscopically in the stenosis of the latter three as a palliative measure, resulting in the unimpeded passage of faeces and intestinal gas.
