Colonic Stent Placement

Stents may be used to treat symptoms in patients suffering from malignant (cancerous) disease, such as a bowel obstruction or an obstruction caused by small intestine cancer or colorectal cancer (also known as colon cancer). During a colonic stent placement, a tiny tube known as a stent is placed to prop open an obstruction in the colon which may allow fluid and food to pass more easily and also to keep the colon from becoming obstructed again.
