- Surgical management of obstructive right-sided colon cancer at a national level results of a multicenter study of the French Surgical Association in 776 patients

- Eur J Surg Oncol. 2018 Oct;44(10):1522-1531.
-
Rationale for inclusion: This retrospective cohort study found that a majority of patients with obstructing right-sided colon cancer can be managed with resection and primary anastomosis but high-risk patients may benefit from a staged surgical approach.
CAVEAT: Retrospective national cohort study.

- Colonic stenting as a bridge to surgery versus emergency surgery for malignant colonic obstruction: results of a multicentre randomised controlled trial (ESCO trial).

-
Rationale for inclusion: Multicenter study comparing self-expandable metallic stents as a bridge to surgery versus emergency surgery found no difference in morbidity and oncologic outcome at 36 months but there was a lower stoma rate in the stent group. A “non-inferiority” RCT with survival as primary end point would be the appropriate method to correctly investigate long-term outcomes after SEMS as BTS versus ES.

-
Rationale for inclusion: One of the few multicenter randomized trials comparing stenting and emergency surgery for malignant large bowel obstruction. The authors concluded that colonic stenting has no decisive clinical advantages to emergency surgery but could be used as an alternative treatment in as yet undefined subsets of patients, although with caution because of concerns about tumor spread caused by perforation.

-
Rationale for inclusion: Despite being a smaller study, this RCT found that self-expanding metal stents are a safe and effective bridge to subsequent laparoscopic surgery in patients with obstructing left-sided colon cancer.

-
Rationale for inclusion: First prospective RCT to compare subtotal colectomy with segmental resection and anastomosis after intraoperative irrigation for malignant left sided colonic obstruction. The authors found no differences in terms of morbidity and mortality, but significantly worse functional results after TC.
