- Gastroenterologické oddělení, Masarykova nemocnice Ústí nad Labem
Malignant gastric outlet obstruction (MGOO) is a clinical condition caused by advanced malignant disease, most frequent pancreas and stomach malignancy. These conditions are clinicly manifested by qualm, nauzea, vomiting, restriction of oral intake, emaciation, severe malnutrition and dehydration. Within a palliative care MGOO is currently mostly treated by surgical gastrojejunostomy or endoscopic enteral metal stenting. Tendency for miniinvazive approach and the improvement in endoscopy gives new possibility which is endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastro-enteric anastomosis (EUS-GEA). In this article all three methods are compared and the case report is directed to implementation of EUS-GEA.
Keywords: malignant gastric outlet obstruction,endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastro-enteric anastomosis, self-expanding metal stent.
