Pure natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) nonstenting endoscopic gastroenterostomy: first human clinical experience

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: EUS-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) is a novel approach for the treatment of gastric-outlet obstruction.1-3 This technique uses lumen-apposing metal stents to create a bypass between the stomach and the small bowel distal to the obstruction. This method is typically used for gastric-outlet obstruction resulting from an obstructing malignancy and has not been used for gastric-outlet obstruction resulting from benign disease.4,5 We present an unusual case of benign gastric-outlet obstruction in which routine medical treatment failed to relieve the obstruction, and a pure natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) nonstenting endoscopic gastroenterostomy was performed successfully.
