Introduction & background In emergency surgery, although surgical and resuscitation techniques were improved, the postoperative complications and mortality rates are still high and however higher than for those patients that underwent to elective surgery (1-3). Using a Metallic prosthesis stent in an obstructed colon allows to transform an emergency surgical case into an elective surgery case. This allows to restore the bowel transit and to operate in elective condition reducing morbidity, mortality and the need of an enterostomy (4-10).
