Endoscopic Self-Expandable Metallic Stent Insertion without Fluoroscopic Guidance Is Feasible and Safe for Acute Colonic Obstruction Caused by Colorectal Cancer

<div>The procedures of one SEMS insertion. (a) Endoscopic view of a complete colonic malignant obstruction. (b) A hydrophilic 0.035-inch biliary guidewire was used to traverse the stricture. (c) The delivery system was advanced over the guidewire and guided into the site of obstruction. (d) Endoscopic view of stent release. (e) Endoscopic view of SEMS expansion after release. (f) The distal end of SEMS was about 2 cm beyond the edge of the tumor after stent deployment.</div>
