Surgical resection of colorectal carcinoma is the only curative treatment currently available. In the elective setting peri-operative mortality is low and refinements in surgical technique and peri-operative care have resulted in high primary anastamosis rates and progressively reduced postoperative morbidity. In those presenting with large bowel obstruction the mortality and morbidity remains high. Many of those undergoing surgery will have incurable disease and a short life expectancy. Increasingly self-expanding metal stents are being deployed as either a 'bridge to surgery' or for palliation. This review covers the imaging appearances, detection and management of complications of colonic stenting.
