Long-term oncologic results after stenting as a bridge to surgery versus emergency surgery for malignant left-sided colonic obstruction. A multicenter randomized controlled trial (ESCO Trial). Ann Surg 2020; 272: 703-708.

Conclusion

Some 144 people with malignant left-sided large bowel obstruction were included and randomized to stent versus primary surgery. After a median of 37 months, oncological outcomes were similar, as was overall survival: hazard ratio 0.93, 95 per cent c.i. 0.49 to 1.76.
