Core Tip

Core tip: The assessment of synchronous neoplasm in acute malignant colonic obstruction remains troublesome. In this study, complete colonoscopy through the colonic stent using colonoscope and gastroscope was feasible in 42 patients (87.5%) and the stent expansion diameter was the only significant factor that affected complete colonoscopy. Through this, we might predict the favorable condition regarding preoperative colonoscopy.
