Amelung, 2016: deviating colostomy construction versus stent placement as bridge to surgery for malignant left-sided colonic obstruction.All patients underwent the initial decompression procedure within 48 h after presentation with obstructive symptoms.The gastrointestinal surgeon on call performed the colostomy constructions, while sems placement was performed by one of three expert endoscopists with a minimum of 4-year experience ([20 procedures) with colonic stent placement.Colostomies were constructed on the right transverse colon.An incision was made in the right upper abdominal quadrant; the transverse colon was elevated to the skin, temporarily anchored with a plastic rod and fixed with resolvable stitches.Four different stent types were used, based on availability, i.E., wallstent _ (boston scientific, natrick, ma, usa), wallflex_ (boston scientific), ultraflex_ (boston scientific) and evolution_ (cook medical, limerick, ireland).After colostomy construction or stent placement, patients received enteral feeding as soon as possible.Elective resection was performed after approximately 2¿4 weeks.Perforation due to stent placement (n = 1).Patient outcome: require intervention/additional procedures s=4.Patient/event info - notes: as per fda guidance: average patient age and weight, as well as the gender of the majority of patients involved/individual patient info if available.
