Combined Endoscopic Therapy of Sigmoid Colon Cancer Complicated by Bowel Obstruction in an Extremely Obese Patient

There has been described a case of combined endoscopic therapy (tumor pre-stenting followed by laparoscopy-assisted radical surgery) of sigmoid colon cancer complicated by bowel obstruction. A patient suffered from stage IV obesity and had undergone left nephrectomy before, which resulted in a secondary adhesive process in surgical area.
