biostudies-literatureUnknown38(10)Kanaka S<h4>Background</h4>A bridge to surgery (BTS) after self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement is a widely recognized treatment strategy for obstructive colorectal cancer. However, there is still a lack of evidence for the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic surgery following SEMS placement. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the short-term and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic surgery with those of open surgery following SEMS placement in patients with obstructive colorectal cancer.<h4>Methods</h4>An electronic literature search through to December 2022 was performed to identify studies comparing short-term and long-term outcomes between laparoscopic and open surgery following SEMS placement for obstructive colorectal cancer.
