Su1269 ENDOSCOPIC GASTROENTEROSTOMY VERSUS SURGICAL GASTROJEJUNOSTOMY FOR THE TREATMENT OF GASTRIC OUTLET OBSTRUCTION IN PATIENTS WITH PERITONEAL CARCINOMATOSIS: A RETROSPECTIVE COMPARATIVE STUDY

Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) is frequently associated with peritoneal carcinomatosis. Palliative surgical gastrojejunostomy (SGJ) may be performed in these patients when conservative treatment fails, however is associated with substantial post-operative morbidity. Endoscopic ultrasound guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) using lumen apposing metal stents (LAMS) has recently emerged as a less invasive modality for the treatment of GOO, however, data comparing these treatment options in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis is limited.
