Abstract:Abstract: 【Objective】 To discuss the operational technique and clinical effect of metallic stentplacement in treating malignant gastroduodenal obstruction. 【Methods】 Metallic stent placement under fluoroscopic monitoring and colonscopic direct vision was performed in 38 patients with malignant gastroduodenal obstruction. A total of 42 metallic stents was used. 【Results】 The procedure was successfully completed in all 38 patients. During the follow-up period, all the patients could take liquid or ordinary diet, and were markedly relived of vomiting. The living quality was much improved and no serious complications occurred. 【Conclusion】 Under fluoroscopic monitoring and colonoscopic direct vision, stent placement is a safe, effective, technically-simple and time-saving procedure for the treatment of malignant gastroduodenal obstruction with less sufferings to the patient. Therefore, it is definitely worth popularizing this technique in clinical practice.
