A meta-analysis on the clinical outcomes of bridge to surgery stenting versus emergency surgery in malignant left-sided colonic obstruction

Abstract

Poster PresentationINTRODUCTION: Left-sided malignant colonic obstruction was conventionally managed by emergency operation until the introduction of bridge to surgery stenting (BTS stenting). Despite evidence showing superior short-term outcome, the long-term oncological safety for BTS stenting is still questionable. Large-scale comparative studies on the long-term outcomes were scarce. The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the short-term and long-term outcomes of BTS stenting and emergency surgery for ...postprin
