[Examination of the usefulness of the self-expanding metallic stent for ileus due to colorectal cancer].
Ileus due to colon cancer often develops from a timing and the method of the operation and perioperative care, comparing with ordinary cases. The use of self-expanding metallic stent (SEMS) was first authorized by insurance and became available nationwide in Japan in 2012. Insertion of SEMS for ileus due to colorectal cancer is useful as a bridge to surgery (BTS) approach and releases stenosis as palliative care. Here we report 5 successful cases of anastomosis performed during a laparoscopic operation for ileus due to colorectal cancer after BTS using SEMS. Successful SEMS insertion for colon cancer ileus enables observation of the proximal side. Because the decompression efficiency with SEMS is high, laparoscopic surgery becomes possible. SEMS insertion as a BTS is useful for ileus due to colorectal cancer.
