Overview

GASTRIC OUTLET OBSTRUCTION: Pyloric obstruction

Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO,) is the result of any pathology that provides mechanical obstruction to emptying of gastric contents. Two important causes of GOO include: Benign: 37 percent of cases, includes peptic disease Malignant: 53 percent of cases

Location of the stomach: Left upper quadrant of the abdomen Parts of the stomach: Cardia Body Antrum Pylorus

Historical Perspective

Classification

Pathophysiology

Gastric Outlet Obstruction (GOO) may be caused by intrinsic or extrinsic pathologies that involve the antrum and the pylorus.

Causes

Epidemiology and Demographics

  • Incidence: less than 5% in patients with PUD.
  • PUD is the most common benign cause of GOO.
  • In the US, five percent PUD cases require an average of 2000 surgeries annually.
  • Pancreatic cancer is the most common malignant cause of GOO.
  • The incidence of GOO in cases with pancreatic cancer is approximately 20%.

Prognosis

Diagnosis

History and Symptoms

The following history is relevant in patients with GOO:[51][52]

Clinical presentation:

Early stages:[5][41]

Late stages:[44][43][49][50]

Physical Examination

In the late stages of GOO, patients may develop signs of malnutrition and incomplete obstruction.

Laboratory Findings

Imaging Findings

Imaging studies such as plain radiographs, contrast upper gastrointestinal (GI) studies and Computed Tomography (CT) with oral contrast may be used for evaluating patients with symptoms of GOO.

Plain radiographs

Contrast upper gastrointestinal (GI) studies (Gastrografin or barium)

Computed tomography (CT) with oral contrast

Other Diagnostic Studies

Endoscopy

Sodium chloride load test

Needle-guided biopsy

Treatment

Medical Therapy

Surgery

Surgery is the primary modality of treatment for patients with GOO. It is required for more than 75 percent of patients, with scarring, fibrosis and tumors. The aims of surgery in case of GOO include:

  • Relief of obstruction
  • Relief in patients with failure to respond to medical therapy or failure to improve even after 72 hours of therapy
  • Correction of PUD symptoms

Preoperative evaluation

Guidelines for surgery

Types of surgical procedures

The types of surgical procedures performed in cases of GOO are as follows:[29][81][82][83][84][85][86]

Contraindications to surgery

Complications of surgery

Complications arising after surgery include:[108][109]

Prevention
