Abstract
Self-expandable metallic stents in the upper gastrointestinal tract are used for treating malignant esophageal or gastroduodenal outlet obstructions and fistulas. Recently, self-expandable metallic stent use has been expanded to benign esophageal or gastroduodenal strictures and post-operative complications. However, there is scarce data available regarding efficacy, long-term complications, and outcomes with the use of self-expandable metallic stent in benign disease, especially post-gastrectomy complications. Data of 57 patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal tract self-expandable metallic stent insertion for post-operative complications between March 2009 and June 2017 were analyzed. All patients underwent a curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Data collected included patient demographics, indication for procedure, type of stent used, complications, and patient outcomes. Self-expandable metallic stent placement was technically successful in all patients. Of the 57 patients, 33 had self-expandable metallic stent placement for anastomosis site leakage, 12 for anastomosis site refractory stricture, and 12 for obstruction due to angulation. After self-expandable metallic stent placement, symptomatic improvement was ach...Continue Reading
