Obstrucción colónica maligna izquierda: Stent metálico autoexpandible como puente a cirugía versus cirugía de urgencia

DOI: https://doi.org/10.46296/yc.v10i19.0996 Abstract Introduction: Acute malignant obstruction of the left colon is an oncological emergency associated with high morbidity, the risk of ostomy, and the need for rapid therapeutic decisions. The use of a self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) as a bridge to surgery allows for endoscopic decompression and delayed resection, although concerns regarding perforation and oncological safety persist.
