Intestinal Stent Placement is a minimally invasive procedure that involves inserting a stent into the intestine to keep it open, especially in cases of obstruction caused by tumors, strictures, or inflammatory bowel disease. The stent is designed to provide a temporary or long-term solution to maintain intestinal function.

The procedure is typically performed using endoscopic or radiological techniques, where a stent is placed through the skin or into the intestines with minimal incisions. It allows the intestine to remain open without the need for traditional surgery.

Postoperative care includes monitoring for stent migration, infection, or blockage, and ensuring the patient is receiving adequate nutrition. Follow-up imaging is essential to check for any complications or need for stent replacement.

Intestinal stent placement is an effective and minimally invasive solution for managing bowel obstructions, providing relief and improving quality of life in patients who are not candidates for surgery.
