What are possible complications of colonic stenting?

Hi Piles is a very common condition and especially in modern society with our current life style. They don't normally cause difficulty blockage but the problems comes if you are constipated and the stools are hard. To improve on this, the general advise is ensure that you have adequate amount of fluids daily (>2L) and a good amount fruit and vegtables daily for the fibre. This will ensure you are regular and the stools are soft to prevent the straining and constipation that will agravate the piles. Laxative may help to keep the stools soft.

Colon surgery can be done via open surgery or via laparoscopic approach ('keyhole surgery'). The feasibility to perform via laparoscopic approach sometimes depends on the stage of the disease. For instance, a locally advanced disease may not be suitable for a laparoscopic approach. In addition, the stage of the disease may also affect the timing of the surgery. For example, a stage 4 disease with distant sites of spread may benefit from a course of chemotherapy first before considering surgery especially if the colon cancer itself is not causing too much symptom.
