2024-05-16

There are many reasons for gastrointestinal obstruction, and the most common ones are patients with various malignant tumors, especially gastrointestinal malignant tumors. According to incomplete statistics, about 30% of patients with digestive tract tumors will experience varying degrees of obstruction, which directly leads to the inability of patients to eat normally, accompanied by abdominal pain, bloating, and in severe cases, gastrointestinal perforation, and even life-threatening conditions.

Previously, surgical treatment was commonly used for various digestive tract blockages, but since the emergence of a mysterious weapon called a stent, the pain of many patients has been easily relieved. Place a mesh like stent at the obstructed area to support it and restore patency to the narrowed or obstructed area, in order to alleviate the patient's symptoms of gastrointestinal obstruction. Patients can recover their diet, improve their quality of life, and achieve dietary and nutritional support, delaying the deterioration of their condition. Additionally, due to the recovery of their physical condition, some patients have the opportunity for further treatment, extending their survival period.
