Complications After Endoscopic Stenting for Malignant Gastric Outlet Obstruction: A Cohort Study

In this selected group of patients, laparoscopic surgical gastrojejunostomy can be a valid alternative to avoid a close and exhausting follow-up, with the possibility of a better quality of life (res Registry 808).
