Abstract
Colonic stenting using a TTS delivery system is a safe and effective means of treatment for intestinal obstruction caused by adenocarcinoma in the acute or urgent setting. It can be used as a bridge to surgery effectively converting an emergency open operation to an urgent laparoscopic resection. It is very effective in treating colonic obstructions in the palliative setting. This 12 year experience of nearly 100 cases show that it can be achieved in a District General Hospital and one of the highest series in the UK.
