Abstract
In the clinical course of inoperable pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) is a phenomenon experienced at high frequency, which is an important phenomenon that lowers QOL.
Endoscopic gastroduodenal stent placement is approved as a treatment for GOO in Japan in Japan.
The difficulty of the procedure has been marke lowered, and it has become possible to place it without stress. It has evaluated to be minimally invasive and makes it possible to resume early oral intake, and the number of such cases has increased in recent years.
However, the problem is that predicting invalid cases of gastroduodenal stent placement beforehand is to predict the existence of a few irreversible complications and the examination of the treatment for the trouble of the bile duct is inadequate and difficult to do.
In this paper, we will consider the current state of endoscopic upper gastrointestinal stenting based on our own experiments and literature considerations and outline the future prospects.
