Objective:We assessed the optimal time interval between endoscopic stenting and subsequent surgery in patients with obstructive left-sided colon cancer. Methods: We reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent endoscopic colonic stenting for obstruc-tive left-sided colon cancer between January 2009 and January 2012. Patients who had successful endoscopic intervention as a bridge to surgery were included in the study. Other variables studied were the duration between endoscopic stenting and surgery, the reobstruction rate, the stoma creation rate, the anastomotic leak rate, and the in-hospital mortality rate. Results: The medical records of 53 patients who under-went endoscopic stenting for obstructive left-sided colon cancer were ...
