Abstract: also does not report how many had previous bowel obstruction, GI surgery, or other relevant GI conditions.The methods used to exclude mechanical obstruction before treatment were not described.We would appreciate any additional information the authors could provide on these points.In particular, it would be helpful to know how many of the 27 patients had GI malignancy or peritoneal metastases.We would also be interested to know whether any had current or previous bowel obstruction and how obstruction was excluded before treatment.We believe that these details would further strengthen an already valuable study and help clinicians use its findings safely in routine practice.
