title: [Laparoscopic colon resection in the treatment of total colonic obstruction following endoscopic stenting in elderly patients].
abstract: Two cases of elderly patients who presented with total colonic obstruction are discussed. We performed elective laparoscopic one-stage colonic resection following emergency endoscopic stenting. The patients were discharged six and seven days after operation without any complications. One year follow-up showed no signs of recurrence.
