Focused Review Series: The Roles of Endoscopy in the Management of Colonic Obstruction and Perforation

Endoscopic Management of Benign Colonic Obstruction and Pseudo-Obstruction: Su Jin Jeong, Jongha Park; Clin Endosc 2020;53(1):18-28. Published online October 24, 2019; DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2019.058

There are a variety of causes of intestinal obstruction, with the most common cause being malignant diseases; however, volvulus, inflammatory bowel disease or diverticulitis, radiation injury, ischemia, and pseudo-obstruction can also cause colonic obstruction. These are benign conditions; however, delayed diagnosis of acute intestinal obstruction owing to these causes can cause critical complications, such as perforation. Therefore, high levels of clinical suspicion and appropriate treatment are crucial. There are variable treatment options for colonic obstruction, and endoscopic treatment is known to be a less invasive and an effective option for such. In this article, the authors review the causes of benign colonic obstruction and pseudo-obstruction and the role of endoscopy in treating them.

Focused Review Series: Past, present and future of gastrointestinal stents

Development of Biliary and Enteral Stents by the Korean Gastrointestinal Endoscopists: Chan Sup Shim, Jin Hong Kim, Gene Hyun Bok; Clin Endosc 2016;49(2):113-123. Published online March 9, 2016; DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2016.039

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

Stenting in the gastrointestinal tract is a common procedure used for palliation of obstruction in the enteral and biliary tract. Today, stenting of malignant and benign strictures is performed at almost every major tertiary hospital in Korea. Moreover, Korea has become a major global supplier of cutting edge technology in the field of self-expanding metal stents. However, the history of stenting in Korea is relatively short and was far behind that of other nations such as Japan and Germany. The authors are humbled and gratified to have been able to observe the development and application of these stents in Korea, first hand. In this article, the authors review the overall history of stenting with a specific focus on the development of stenting in Korea. The development of esophageal, gastroduodenal, biliary, and colonic stents in Korea are reviewed in this article from a chronological and historical point of view, and a personal account of some of the significant moments of stent development in Korea are described.
