Endoscopic Ultrasound–Guided Gastroenterostomy Outperforms Surgical Gastrojejunostomy for Malignant Gastric Outlet Obstruction: randomized trial shows faster recovery, shorter stay and lower costs

A multicentre randomized trial found EUS-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) superior to surgical gastrojejunostomy (SGJ) for malignant gastric outlet obstruction—improving oral intake, shortening hospital stay, enhancing quality of life and reducing costs.

ENDURO trial: EUS‑guided gastroenterostomy shortens time to oral intake and matches surgery for palliation of malignant gastric outlet obstruction

A randomized trial (ENDURO) found endoscopic ultrasound‑guided gastroenterostomy (EUS‑GE) enabled earlier resumption of solid food and was non‑inferior to surgical gastrojejunostomy for recurrent obstruction, supporting EUS‑GE as preferred palliative therapy when expertise is available.

EUS-Guided Gastroenterostomy Beats Surgical Gastrojejunostomy for Malignant Gastric Outlet Obstruction: Randomised Trial Shows Faster Diet, Shorter Stay and Lower Costs

A multicentre randomized trial (NCT05548114) found endoscopic ultrasound‑guided gastroenterostomy (EUS‑GE) superior to surgical gastrojejunostomy (SGJ) for malignant gastric outlet obstruction, with faster return to solid diet, shorter hospitalisation, better quality-of-life and lower costs.

Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Gastroenterostomy Reduces Reintervention in Malignant Gastric Outlet Obstruction: Insights from the Multicentre DRA-GOO Trial

A multicentre RCT demonstrated that endoscopic ultrasonography-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) significantly lowers 6-month reintervention rates and improves gastric outlet obstruction symptoms compared to duodenal stenting in unresectable malignant gastric outlet obstruction.
