2Although chemotherapy is the initial treatment in casesof advanced gastric cancer, the symptoms associated withgastric obstruction cause digestive intolerance which makesoral chemotherapy regimens impossible, therefore, in thisclinical situation, the most appropriate initial treatmentappears to be surgical or endoscopic.2,3In these cases, otherpalliative solutions include placing an antroduodenal stentor bypass surgery, and traditionally conventional gastroje-junostomy is indicated in order to improve quality of lifeand to enable these patients food intake. A good result isachieved in over 70% of cases.4,5Conventional bypass surgeryhas been the standard palliative treatment for gastric outletobstruction syndrome in unresectable gastric cancer. Occa-sionally this surgical drainage is not completely effectivein relation to oral intake, because it is associated withneural factors which delay gastric emptying, which variesfrom 3% to 31% in recent studies6; therefore, up to a thirdof patients operated using this traditional technique expe-rience no palliation of their symptoms.
