Laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy offers a minimally invasive solution for gastric outlet obstruction in unresectable cancer. This case report highlights a successful intracorporeal side-to-side procedure with no complications and a short hospital stay.

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Surgical Oncology
Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) is a common complication of unresectable gastric and pancreatic cancers.
Palliative surgical gastrojejunostomy is often indicated to restore gastrointestinal continuity.
Laparoscopic approaches offer potential benefits over open surgery.

Observation:

A case of unresectable cancer causing gastric outlet obstruction was managed surgically.
An intracorporeal gastrojejunostomy was performed using a side-to-side technique.
The surgical procedure was completed laparoscopically.

Findings:

The laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy was technically successful.
The patient experienced no postoperative morbidity.

The hospital stay was minimal, indicating efficient recovery.

Implications:

Laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy is a feasible and safe option for palliation of GOO.
Minimally invasive techniques may improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare resource utilization.
Further studies are warranted to compare laparoscopic with open gastrojejunostomy in this patient population.
