Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) occurs when there is mechanical obstruction impending gastric emptying. GOO has both benign and malignant aetiologies. In this paper we want to discuss, clinical presentation and management of malignant GOO. This is a retrospective observational study of 5 years in
Purpose: This study is aimed at evaluating the clinicopathological features and prognostic significance of gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) in patients with distal gastric cancer.
Methods:
OBJECTIVE
To compare the outcome between laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy (LapGJ) and duodenal stenting (DS) in terms of oral intake, nutritional status, patency duration, effect on chemotherapy and survival.
METHODS
Medical records of 115 patients, who had LapGJ or duodenal stent placement between
We examined gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) patients who received two weeks of strengthening pre-operative enteral nutrition therapy (pre-EN) through a nasal-jejenal feeding tube placed under a gastroscope to evaluate the feasibility and potential benefit of pre-EN compared to parenteral nutrition
OBJECTIVE
Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) in patients with malignancies causes nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, malnutrition, and dehydration. Endoscopic placement of self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) and gastrojejunostomy are the two main palliative options. We aimed to compare the outcomes
OBJECTIVE
To compare the outcomes between stent placement and surgical gastrojejunostomy (GJ) for the palliation of gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) in patients with unresectable gastric cancer.
METHODS
A retrospective study was performed in a single university hospital in 224 patients with GOO, and
There is limited published evidence on duodenal carcinoma due to its rarity. This study aimed to evaluate gastric outlet obstruction and obstructive jaundice along with pathological variables as survival factors in patients with duodenal adenocarcinoma following Self-expanding metallic stents (SEMS) are the ideal treatment for malignant gastric outlet obstruction (MGOO) in patients with a short life expectancy, but stent dysfunction is frequent. The primary aim of our study was to identify the predictive factors of SEMS dysfunction in MGOO and BACKGROUND
DNA ploidy and S-phase fraction measured by DNA flow cytometry were shown to correlate with several clinicopathologic characteristics in several types of tumors.
METHODS
DNA flow cytometry was performed on 329 samples (164 normal mucosa, 165 tumors) obtained from 165 patients (112 men)
BACKGROUND: Major complications of modern bariatric operations are infrequent but can be quite disabling to the patient and pose therapeutic challenges to the surgeon. We present our experience with five patients who underwent gastrectomy for complications following gastric reduction procedures.
OBJECTIVE
The impact of early enteral nutrition in elective upper gastrointestinal surgery was the focus of this study, with particular reference to its feasibility and benefits.
METHODS
This prospective study was carried out over 2 years. The study group included 30 patients and the control group
Seven patients with extensive Crohn's disease have received nightly supplementary home parenteral nutrition (HPN) for a total of 120 patient months. Indications for HPN were short bowel in 5, growth failure in 1, and gastric outlet obstruction in 1. Before HPN, body weight averaged 72% of ideal body
OBJECTIVE
Electrogastrography (EGG) is a technique used to record gastric myoelectrical activity (GMA). Our aim is to investigate the (1) prevalent patterns of GMA, (2) most frequent gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms reported on the Dyspepsia Symptom Severity Index (DSSI), and (3) EGG diagnosis and
BACKGROUND
Morbidity and mortality following traditional surgical treatment of gastric outlet obstruction is high. The aim of this work was to identify risk factors predictive of postoperative complications and mortality following gastroenterostomy.
METHODS
One-hundred sixty-five consecutive
Tuberculosis can involve any part of the gastrointestinal tract and is the sixth most frequent site of extrapulmonary involvement. Both the incidence and severity of abdominal tuberculosis are expected to increase with increasing incidence of HIV infection. Tuberculosis bacteria reach the
