BACKGROUND/AIM: Colonic stents have been inserted as a bridge to surgery in patients with resectable colorectal cancer, allowing bowel decompression for systemic assessment and better preparation to avoid stoma construction. However, reports of short- and long-term prognoses for elderly patients remain limited.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: This retrospective study reviewed 175 consecutive patients who underwent colonic stent insertion for bowel obstruction followed by curative colectomy. Patients were divided into those >80 years old (Old, n=49) and those <80 years old (Young, n=126). After propensity score matching, 41 patients in each group matched.

RESULTS: Before matching, performance status was poorer (p<0.001), postoperative complication rate was higher (p=0.009), adjuvant chemotherapy rate was lower (p<0.001), and hospital stay was longer (p<0.001) in the Old group. After matching, adjuvant chemotherapy rate was lower (9.8% vs. 39.0%; p=0.003) and hospital stay was longer (14 vs. 12 days; p=0.029) in the Old group. Five-year relapse-free survival (42.9% vs. 68.8%; p=0.200), overall survival (66.3% vs. 87.7%; p=0.081), and cancer-specific survival (68.2% vs. 87.7%; p=0.129) rates were comparable between groups.

CONCLUSION: Colorectal resection after colonic stent insertion is useful for elderly patients, with potential to reduce postoperative complication rates and achieve good long-term results with appropriate case selection.
