The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of palliative stent placement for colorectal stenosis due to peritoneal dissemination. We retrospectively reviewed twelve cases of stent treatment for colorectal stenosis due to peritoneal dissemination between January 2013 and December 2021. The bowel obstruction score (CROSS) was used as a measure of treatment effect. The technical success was 100%, the clinical success was 83%, and mean CROSS improved significantly from 0.75 to 3.5 points after treatment. There were no adverse events associated with stent placement, but long-term complications included stent occlusion in two patients. Stenting for colorectal stenosis due to peritoneal dissemination is considered safe and useful treatment for patients with a limited prognosis.
