Endoscopic Gastroenterostomy Versus Surgical Gastrojejunostomy
Sponsor: Vanderbilt University Medical Center
Summary
Recent comparative data suggest that EUS gastroenterostomy offers more durable patency than enteral stents for treatment of malignant GOO, leading some endoscopists to suggest that EUS gastroenterostomy should be the preferred endoscopic treatment approach. EUS gastroenterostomy and surgical gastrojejunostomy have been compared in retrospective cohort analysis, suggesting a high technical success rate a shorter hospital length of stay for the endoscopic approach \[4\]. Comparison of these techniques has not been reported in controlled prospective fashion. A prospective trial is necessary in order to define the optimal interventional management option for treatment of malignant GOO in the context of the contemporary and rapidly evolved range of available endoscopic and surgical treatment options.

Interventions
EUS Gastrojejunostomy
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) Gastrojejunostomy. Under live real-time EUS visualization, a solution of normal saline or water and dilute methylene blue will be infused through the nasobiliary drainage catheter to mechanically distend the small intestine and create a suitable, expanded fluid-filled target for transgastric access. Once a suitable target has been identified, a lumen apposing metal stent (LAMS) will then be deployed securely across the newly created gastroenterostomy tract. Appropriate stent placement will be confirmed.
Surgical Gastrojejunostomy
Gastrojejunostomy will be performed via an open technique using an upper midline or left sub-costal incision (at the discretion of the surgeon). An antecolic, pro-peristaltic, gastrojejunostomy will be performed using one of two standard techniques: 1) hand-sewn: 2-layer anastomosis using absorbable suture or 2) stapled: single-layer anastomosis using a surgical stapler with closed staple height ranging from 1.0 - 1.5 mm and suture closure of the common enterotomy. Feeding tube placement will be at the discretion of the operating surgeon and if performed, will be performed via a Stamm technique. Abdominal fascial closure will be performed with absorbable, monofilament, suture and skin will be closed using staples or suture at the discretion of the surgeon.
