[Short-Term Comparison between Trans-Anal Ileus Tube and Self-Expandable Metallic Stent for Obstructive Colorectal Cancer].

The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of using trans-anal ileus tube and self-expandable metallic stent(SEMS) for obstructive colorectal cancer. Between 2014 and 2018, 14 patients received trans-anal ileus tube placement (group I)and 34 received SEMS insertion as bridge to surgery(BTS)and underwent primary resection. The technical success rate was 100%in both groups, and the clinical success rate was 85.7%(12/14 cases)in group I and 91.2%(31/34 cases)in group S. In group S, the CROSS score significantly improved, the rates of stoma construction and postoperative complications were significantly lower, and the period until oral intake and hospital discharge was significantly short. SEMS insertion is more effective than trans-anal ileus tube placement in terms of short-term outcome.
