Gastric partitioning versus gastrojejunostomy for gastric outlet obstruction due to unresectable gastric cancer: randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gastric outlet obstruction due to unresectable tumours is usually managed with a gastrojejunostomy. Unfortunately, the unsatisfactory outcomes of this procedure have led to the search for alternatives, including gastric partitioning.

Methods

Monocentric, randomized, parallel, open-label trial that included patients with obstructive, unresectable distal gastric tumours. The objective was to compare gastric partitioning to gastrojejunostomy, considering the gastric outlet obstruction scoring system scale as the main outcome. Randomization was performed using computer-generated software available online and after the application of the informed consent term, the allocation group was revealed to the surgeon before the surgical procedure.
