Uncovered Self-Expanding Metal Stent (SEMS) Four Years After Placement for Long-Term Treatment of a Benign Colonic Obstruction

Self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) have emerged as an alternative to surgery in the treatment of malignant colorectal obstructions. There is limited data about their use for benign colonic obstructions, especially in regards to safety and long-term patency. We present a case in which long-term SEMS...

description Self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) have emerged as an alternative to surgery in the treatment of malignant colorectal obstructions. There is limited data about their use for benign colonic obstructions, especially in regards to safety and long-term patency. We present a case in which long-term SEMS placement proved to be a durable option for over 4 years in a patient with a benign colonic stricture.
