Comparative assessment of short-term results of palliative surgical interventions and endoscopic stenting in case of malignant upper digestive tract obstruction

Abstract

The retrospective non-randomised two-focus examination allowed to compare treatment of 189 patients with malignant upper digestive tract obstruction that included surgical palliative operations (101 patients) or endoscopic prosthetic repair with selfuncrumpled metal stents (88 patients). There were complications in 18.8 and 14.8 % of cases, respectively. The post-operative lethality rates were 27.7 and 6.8 %, respectively. The average length of hospital stay (median duration) reached 21 and 14 days, respectively. The statistic comparison results allows to make a conclusion that the endoscopic prosthetic repair entails comparable number of complications, lower lethality rate that makes it possible to reduce the duration of hospital stay, compared to the traditional surgeries, and can be recommended as final palliative method intended to treat non-operable patients.
