Gastrojejunostomy without partial gastrectomy to manage duodenal stenosis in a dog

Partial stomach-partitioning gastrojejunostomy for malignant duodenal obstruction.

BACKGROUND Standard methods of palliative gastrojejunostomy lead to delayed gastric emptying in up to 67% of patients. Partial stomach-partitioning gastrojejunostomy (PSPG) allows for the preferential passage of ingested material into the jejunum while maintaining endoscopic access to the diseased region and obviating the risk of leakage after antrectomy. METHODS A retrospective examination o...

WallFlex™ Duodenal Stent Placement in a Gastric Cancer Patient with Malignant Stenosis of a Roux-en-Y Gastrojejunostomy following Distal Gastrectomy

A 69-year-old Japanese woman with a history of distal gastrectomy with a Roux-en-Y reconstruction for advanced gastric cancer was admitted to our hospital complaining of severe dysphagia. On admission, the patient was only able to take liquids, and a firm, fist-sized tumor was palpable in her left upper abdomen. An endoscopic examination disclosed stenosis of the jejunal limb of the gastrojejun...

Blood changes eight years after vagotomy with gastrojejunostomy compared with those after polya partial gastrectomy.

Stenosis due to duodenal ulceration.

THE lumen of the first part of the duodenum is a comparatively narrow segment of the alimentary canal so that when the surgeon passes his finger along its length at operation he finds that its mucosa hugs him comfortably. Placing an ulcer into this canal and surrounding its crater by scar tissue would, one might think, produce stenosis in a high percentage of cases, yet the somewhat surprising ...

Simultaneous duodenal stenosis and duodenal web in a newborn

Failure of duodenal recanalization results in a spectrum of proximal bowel obstruction from stenosis to atresia. Associations between congenital duodenal obstruction and other congenital anomalies have been well documented although the coincidence of duodenal stenosis and duodenal web is incredibly rare, posing a unique diagnostic challenge. We report a case of a full-term 4-day-old female chil...
