A formal pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed with an end-to-end pancreaticojejunostomy, end-to-side choledochojejunostomy and an antrectomy with gastrojejunostomy. |
Gastrojejunostomy is important for palliation of malignant gastric outlet obstruction and surgical obesity procedures. |
A gastrojejunostomy tube was used and additional holes were made in it to decompress the duodenum. |
The dilator is removed and the nasogastric tube placed through the gastrojejunostomy and into the Roux limb. |
However, current experimental EUS-guided gastrojejunostomy information is limited. |
A less invasive option is a gastrojejunostomy tube that bypasses the stomach. |
