In cases of leakage after colon surgery, a partial or fully covered stent may be applied. While there are various methods for healing the affected area, stent placement can facilitate recovery in suitable patients. The use of a stent in colon cancer is aimed at relieving the obstruction caused by the tumor in the intestines.
In gastrointestinal cancers, radiological examinations such as CT or MRI show adherence of the cancer to surrounding tissues or organs. For example, colon cancer involving the small intestine, stomach cancer affecting the spleen, rectal cancer involving the prostate or uterus, and pancreatic cancer affecting the portal veins can be cited as examples.
Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease resulting from an excessive reaction of the immune system in the digestive system. This disease is characterized by inflammation, formation of scar tissue, intestinal obstruction, perforation, fistula, severe bleeding, toxic colitis, or long-term complications such as cancer development throughout the digestive system.
