Abstract

Of the 148,000 patients in the United States who develop colorectal cancer annually, a substantial number will present with or develop colonic obstruction. Colonic obstruction had historically been addressed via surgical approaches, with acute colonic obstruction requiring emergency intervention and patients with chronic obstructive symptoms requiring elective surgical procedures.
