Popis: Colonic occlusion is the mode of discovery of 8 to 29% of colonic neoplasms. Our objective is to compare the placement of stent versus colostomy in the management of obstructing cancer of the left colon.We have carried out a systematic search of literature from MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Library database to identify articles related to the comparison of stent versus colostomy published between 2000 and 2016.We have identified 6 studies. Only one study was prospective comparative. Three studies were for curative purposes. The total number of patients was 7205. In the "stent" group, there was a decrease in the average length of hospital stay compared to the "stoma" group and there was a decrease in cost with a statistically significant relationship. There was no difference between the two groups in terms of 4 hospital mortality and early morbidity.In case of neoplastic occlusion of the left colon, the choice between colostomy or colonic stent depends on the therapeutic strategy. Indeed, for curative strategy or administration of anti-angiogenics, it is recommended to practice a colostomy. However, for palliative treatment, colonic stenting is the treatment to follow.
