Core Tip
Core tip: Our study compared long-term survival between left-sided colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with acute colorectal obstruction (ACO) who had undergone self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement followed by one-stage laparoscopic (stent-laparoscopy group) and open resection (stent-open group). Long-term survival in left-sided CRC patients without ACO who had undergone laparoscopic resection (control group) was compared with the stent-laparoscopy group. A stent-laparoscopy approach did not reduce long-term survival by influencing CRC oncological characteristics. Surgery-related parameters and postoperative complications in the stent-laparoscopy group were also compared with those of the other two groups; the results indicated that SEMS placement did not influence subsequent laparoscopic procedures.
