| Abstract |
|
The use of self-expanding metal stent has been widely reported that its utility can make a palliative decompression treatment and one stage operation without doing colostomy in the patient with unresectable and resectable obstructive colorectal cancer, respectively. It, however, can sometimes cause complications such as intestinal perforation. We report that the conservative treantment could be possible without removing stent or performing laparotomy in case of intestinal perforation during chemoradiotheraphy after insert of stent for relieving colonic obstruction in the 53 years old female patient with stage IV rectal cancer. |
