Comparison of endoscopic stenting and surgical gastrojejunostomy for palliation of malignant gastric outlet obstruction

Objective 
To compare surgical gastrojejunostomy and endoscopic stenting in palliation of malignant gastric outlet obstruction. 
 
 
Methods 
This retrospective study investigated patients treated for malignant gastric outlet obstruction from January 2007 to January 2014 in the first affiliated hospital of Nanjing Medical University. Endoscopic stenting was placed in 29 patients and surgical gastrojejunostomy was performed in 42 patients. The outcomes assessed included diet scores, time to diet, length of hospital stay, treatments fees and complications. 
 
 
Results 
Both endoscopic stenting and surgical gastrojejunostomy can relieve patients' syndrome with significant higher GOOSS score compared with that before treatment(P 0.05). 
 
 
Conclusion 
Both endoscopic stenting and surgical gastrojejunostomy can relieve patients' syndrome effectively and safely, but endoscopic stenting improves GOOSS scores more rapid with less time to diet, less early complication rate and easy-dealing late complications, also it needs less hospital stay and fees. It's a better choice for patients with less survival expectation.
