Title: Importance of preoperative total colonoscopy and endoscopic resection after self-
expandable metallic stent placement for obstructive colorectal cancer as a bridge-to-surgery
Version: 3 Date: 21 May 2023
Reviewer:  #. Çolak
Reviewer's report:
The study is a retrospective study that includes the preoperative evaluation of patients who
underwent SEMS for obstruction due to colon and rectum tumors between 2016 and 2022.
The article was approved by the ethics committee and there was no obstacle to its publication.
Occlusive colon cancer is one of the life-threatening emergencies. For these patients, SEMS
allows one-stage surgical treatment. The presence of synchronous tumors and lesions proximal
to the occlusion is of concern to surgeons. Because this situation may change the surgical
intervention option. Being able to perform colonoscopy with a thin-diameter colonoscope
through the SEMS provides very important advantages for the treatment of the patient. This
study will lead to a positive change in the perspective of SEMS and thin diameter conoscope
due to the advantages it provides.
In short, if it complies with your publication policy, I think that this manuscript should be
published because it can make important contributions to surgery.
