Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Some patients present obstructed from CRC. Preoperative stenting as a bridge to surgery is routine and may allow for a one stage surgical approach. European guidelines have suggested that in younger patients, preoperative stenting is associated with postoperative recurrent abdominal disease and have discouraged this practice. In this investigation, we evaluated our institutional experience with preoperative stenting with regards to cancer recurrence and ostomy rates. We also assessed surgical complications in these groups.
