Sammanfattning
We report two cases of a benign post-operative stricture of the recto-sigmoid colon managed by insertion of a self-expanding coated plastic stent (SEPS). Both patients presented symptoms of stenosis which dilatation did not relieve. Both patients refused surgical intervention. Instead the strictures were managed by insertion of a SEPS. The clinical symptoms disappeared after SEPS insertion. We conclude that SEPS may represent a possible therapeutic tool in selected cases with benign post-operative stenosis of the recto-sigmoid colon.
