Morbidity-Associated Factors after Gastrojejunostomy for Malignant Gastric Outlet Obstruction

Abstract: Palliative care of malignant gastric outlet obstruction symptoms is critical for improved quality of life. We reviewed 66 consecutive patients with malignant gastric outlet obstruction who underwent palliative gastrointestinal bypass. The objective was to analyze morbidity and mortality-associated factors of this surgical procedure. Surgical morbidity and mortality were 39 per cent and 31 per cent, respectively. Reintervention was necessary in 16.6 per cent of cases. The only variable associated with surgical … Show more

“…Surgical gastrojejunostomy is the preferred treatment for gastric outlet obstruction (GOO), but it carries a complication risk of up to 40 % 1 . Endoscopic placement of an enteral self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) is an alternative treatment option, with technical success rates between 90 % and 100 % and clinical success rates between 67 % and 100 %.…”

“…Open surgical gastrojejunostomy has been used for palliation in these patients but carries a higher surgical risk and longer hospital stay, although the bypass tends to remain open longer with fewer reinterventions. Laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy is minimally invasive but still requires general anaesthesia and carries surgical risks in this fragile group of patients [ 50 ].…”

“…Among off-label indications, indeed, GEA seems very promising, probably due to the weakness of the currently available treatment of gastric outlet obstruction, as surgery is burdened by high rate of adverse events and mortality and endoscopic stenting is characterized by a variable rate of clinical success (65%–100%) and rate of reintervention at 6 months up to 60%.
