Summary: | Purpose
To compare outcomes of uncovered stent and covered stent in management of large bowel obstruction secondary to colorectal malignancy.
Methods
We conducted a search of electronic databases identifying studies comparing outcomes of uncovered and covered stents in management of large bowel obstruction secondary to colorectal malignancy.
