Colonic and Rectal Obstruction

Symposium - Carla Ripamonti at ESCP Sorrento 2010

Core subject update - Ilia Pinsk at ESCP Vienna 2012

Colonic/rectal obstruction, also known as large-bowel obstruction, is a serious condition that needs careful and prompt diagnostic and therapeutic measures to obviate harmful complications and even death. Colorectal cancer is the main cause of this obstruction in Western countries. Recent technological innovations (on-table lavage, colonic stents) have changed the therapeutic strategy, with a marked benefit for patient outcomes. Understanding the various etiological hypotheses, as well as the clinical presentation and the use of appropriate tests, make selecting the best treatment option possible. The preferred approach should be determined on an individual basis and tailored to the particular situation.
