Abstract: Benign gastric outlet obstruction is a rare condition that is seen and its causes obstruction of the pylorus. Peptic ulcer disease accounts for the most common cause for benign gastric outlet obstruction. The diagnosis is confirmed by imaging modalities like upper gastrointestinal contrast series or computerized tomography. The treatment of benign gastric outlet obstruction is divided into endoscopic or surgical treatment. Endoscopic ballon dilatation is the most common primary treatment for benign gastric outlet obstruction with surgical therapy being reserved for failure of endoscopic treatment. Surgical therapy involves performing a vagotomy and a drainage procedure like a pyloroplasty or gastrojejunostomy. We have conducted this review article to look at the diagnosis and treatment of benign gastric outlet obstruction.
