Laparoscopic versus EUS-guided gastroenterostomy for gastric outlet obstruction: an international multicenter propensity score–matched comparison (with video)

Background and Aims In the management of gastric outlet obstruction (GOO), EUS-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) seems to be safe and more effective than enteral stent placement. However, comparisons with laparoscopic GE (L-GE) are scarce. Our aim was to perform a propensity score–matched comparison between EUS-GE and L-GE. Methods An international, multicenter, retrospective analysis was performed of consecutive EUS-GE and L-GE procedures in 3...
