Abstract
For 8 cases of malignant stenosis in the right colon, we used single-balloon enteroscopy to place colonic stents. For the transanal route, the balloon was passed through the stenosis, and the over-tube for the balloon enteroscopy was placed on the oral side of the stenosis. The balloon was then inflated. In case the endoscope or the over-tube couldn't pass through the stenosis, the balloon was inflated on the anal side of the stenosis. After the balloon was dilated, a guide wire was inserted beyond the stenosis. The endoscope was then removed leaving the guide wire and the over-tube. The stent was then inserted in the over-tube using the guide wire. The use of a colonic stent for malignant stenosis in the right colon is technically feasible and enables resolution of the malignant stenosis.
