Title: Stent as A Bridge to Surgery for Malignant Colonic Obstruction: a retrospective study
on survival and outcomes
Version: 0 Date: 12 Nov 2024
Reviewer's report:
Congratulations on reporting findings on this topic within the context of a developing country.
I have a few comments for your consideration:
Background
• The phrase, “More importantly, it is the only malignancy with an increased incidence in
Thailand,” is unclear and would benefit from rephrasing for clarity.
• Beyond colonic ischemia, the primary concern in cases of colonic obstruction is bowel
perforation.
Methods
• The primary outcome is described as “overall survival (OS) between the STBS and the ES
groups,” while secondary outcomes include “5-year OS.” Could you clarify the distinction
between these two measures?
Results
• Could you explain how a technical success rate of stent placement of 96.6% aligns with a
bowel perforation rate of 17.2%?
• What accounts for the observed differences in surgical methods between groups?
Additionally, I would suggest a thorough English language revision for improved readability
and precision.
