[Recanalization of colon in the treatment of patients with acute malignant obstructive colonic obstruction].

OBJECTIVE: To analyze available literature data on the methods of colon recanalization in patients with acute malignant obstructive colonic obstruction.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed literature data on the treatment of acute neoplastic colonic obstruction.

RESULTS: We reviewed available national and foreign literature data on various methods of colon recanalization including various modern and hybrid techniques.

CONCLUSION: Methods of colon recanalization with subsequent stenting are the most optimal for preoperative decompression of colon. These measures are effective and allow postponing radical surgery or avoiding it altogether without worsening the prognosis of the underlying pathology. However, there is a small amount of literature data on modern hybrid methods of recanalization.
