4 Endoscopic Stent Placement as a Bridge to Surgery in Malignant Colorectal Obstruction: A Balance between Study Validity and Real-World Applicability Barham K. Abu Dayyeh, MD, MPH 1 and Todd H. Baron, MD,Am J Gastroenterology Dec 2011 The premise of self-expandable metal stent placement to restore luminal continuity in patients with acute left-sided malignant colonic obstruction is intuitively logical. However, the available body of literature addressing their benefit in this setting is contradictory More than two decades later and after multiple retrospective studies and four randomized, prospective, non-blinded trials, the jury is still out about their real-world effectiveness in this setting The reasons for this are multi-factorial and include shortcomings of the published literature, variability in case-mix and potential for selection bias, vast heterogeneity in the technical success rates and risk profiles of colonic stent placement

6 Implications for practice: Authors Conslusions 1. Colorectal stenting has no advantages to Emergency surgery in malignant colorectal obstructions. Emergency surgery appears to have high clinical success rate compared to colorectal stenting. The stent related complications are acceptable. Colorectal stenting has the advantage of shorter hospital stay and procedure time and less blood loss with comparable mortality and morbidity to emergency surgery. 2. Malignant colonic obstruction is a critical condition and relief by colorectal stents requires dedicated specialised units with endoscopic/radiological facilities 3. Colorectal stent insertion should only be performed by experienced endoscopists or radiologists with adequate interventional experience

7 Surgical management of malignant LBO Patients with malignant LBO are older with more comorbities and have more advanced diseases Mortality rate 5-14% Morbidity rate 15-55% One-stage surgery in less than 25% of cases Temporary ileostomies will be not closed in ¼ of the patients Permanent stoma do report a significant lower health-related quality of life S.

11 452 patients of mean age 67.5 years were included, of whom 78.8% had an emergency operation. The most common diagnosis was cancer (58.6%) After 44 months, only 159 (35.2%) patients had undergone reversal The most frequent reason why reversal was not done was death (74 [25%] patients). The mortality was 3.5%. Complications occurred in 45.2%, with a 6.2% rate of anastomotic leakage. Roig JV, Colorectal Disease 2011

13 Of all colon cancer, patients with emergency resection, 33% died in the first year

14 377 patients were included in the analysis of outcome: 173 (45.9%) had obstructing cancers at or proximal to the splenic flexure, and 204 (54.1%) had lesions distal to the splenic flexure. Overall morbidity rate was 54% in the distal and 55,5% in the proximal colon The prevalence of anastomotic leakage was significantly higher for rightsided tumours (16.5%) than for left-sided tumours (7.7%) (p = 0.014). The mean hospital stay was 20.4 days (range, days) in the proximal group and 19.3 days (range, 5 90 days) in the distal group (p = 0.538). The 30-day mortality rate was 14.5% in the proximal cancer group and 14.7% in the distal cancer group (p = 0.944). Colorectal Disease 2011

20 PERFORATION IN COLORECTAL STENTING: A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF LITERATURE DATA AND A SEARCH FOR RISK FACTORS E. van Halsema 1, J. van Hooft 1, P. Fockens 1, A. Repici 2 1 Department of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Academic Medical Centre, Amsterdam, The Netherlands 2 Digestive Endoscopy, Istituto Clinico Humanitas, Rozzano (Milan), Italy UEGW, 2011 Methods This study was designed as a literature review with an additional request for data to authors of included articles when literature was insufficient. Database MEDLINE was searched from January 2005 to March 2011 for relevant English articles on colorectal stenting. Eighty-six studies met our inclusion criteria; 42 retrospective, 24 prospective, 7 case reports, 5 RCTs, 2 pro- and retrospective and 6 without describing study design. A pooled, univariate analysis was performed. Conclusions Baseline Characteristics Patients 4090 (100.0) Receiving stent 3865 (94.5) inability to pass stricture 175 (4.3) stent uncertain 50 (1.2) perforations 207 (5.1) Stenosis 3865 (100.0) malignant 3753 (97.1) benign 98 (2.5) missing 14 (0.4) Concomitant treatments none 1437 (35.1) chemotherapy 637 (15.6) bevacizumab 86 (2.1) missing 1930 (47.2) Stricture dilation 332 (8.1) none 2515 (61.5) intraprocedural pre-stent 146 (3.6) intraprocedural post-stent 190 (4.6) reintervention dilation 22 (0.5) missing 1243 (30.4) Benign strictures, concomitant bevacizumab and reintervention dilation were associated with increased risk of perforation in colonic stenting. Perforation rates of eight different stent types varied from 1.6 to 8.1%, but heterogeneity makes it difficult to draw firm conclusions from this finding % Perforation rate per stent type Stent design Comvi Stent Dual Stent Enteral Wallstent Hanarostent Niti-S Covered Niti-S D-type Ultraflex Precision Wallflex Colonic BENIGN STRICTURES 10.2% p = 0.021; OR 2.17 (95% C.I ) BEVACIZUMAB 12.6% p =.020; OR 2.17 (95% C.I ) REINTERVENTION DILATION 18.2% p =.018; OR 3.48 (95% C.I ) Perforation rate 5,1%

25 Endoscopic Stent Placement as a Bridge to Surgery in Malignant Colorectal Obstruction: A Balance between Study Validity and Real-World Applicability Barham K. Abu Dayyeh, MD, MPH 1 and Todd H. Baron, MD 1 Am J Gastroenterol Dec 2011 The individual clinician and the endoscopist should honestly assess whether the capabilities for high insertion and low complication rates are achievable for a particular patient, especially in those patients at highest risk not only of complications from emergency surgery but that of medical management with delayed surgery.
