Incidence of colorectal cancer has been increasing in Korea probably due to the westernized life style. Although the technical development of colonoscopy and introduction of screening examination has led to the detection of early colorectal cancer, considerable patients still have clinical symptoms of colorectal obstruction. Most of these patients are old and they have advances stage of cancer or severe co-morbidities. In addition, the emergency operation under poor preparation state of colon can lead to serious mortality or complications. Since the introduction of colorectal stent, there have been a large number of studies for recent 10 years. It seems that the role of colorectal stent in the palliative indication or bridge to surgery has been recognized. A well designed, randomized prospective study with long term data is necessary to support the role of colorectal stent in the malignant colorectal obstruction.
