Abstract

We present a patient with disseminated pancreatic cancer who presented with symptoms of acute obstruction of the sigmoid colon. It was not possible to pass the region of the obstruction with a guide wire under colonoscopy and fluoroscopy. Consequently retrograde implantation of stents was performed successfully with the assistance of a minimally-sized colostomy when compared with a previously described procedure in the literature.
